“…The discovery of blood NTE in circulating lymphocytes and platelets (Dudek and Richardson, 1982;Richardson and Dudek, 1983;Bertoncin et al, 1985;Maroni and Bleecker, 1986) enabled it to be used as a biomarker of animal and human exposure to neuropathic OP compounds (Lotti, 1986(Lotti, , 1987Lotti et al, 1983Lotti et al, , 1986Richardson and Dudek, 1983;Schwab and Richardson, 1986). Furthermore, the development of sensitive tyrosinase-based biosensors allowed us to measure NTE in whole blood (Sigolaeva et al, 2001;Sokolovskaya et al, 2005). The biosensor was used to establish correlations of NTE inhibitions in whole blood with that in lymphocytes and the brain 24 h after dosing hens with a neuropathic OP compound, O,O-dipropyl-Odichlorvinylphosphate (PrDChVP) (Makhaeva et al, , 2007.…”
