Exposure type Data are collected on individual PFASs and listed in Supplementary Table 5.
Studies which measure effects of mixtures of PFASs or the total sum of PFASs are indicated as such.
Health outcomes Outcomes include biomarkers indicative of relating to chronic inflammation (KCC6) or immunosuppression (KCC7).
Applicability of these outcomes will be based on the presence of relevant biomarkers or other measures of effects according to the classifications below. Assays or other detection method used to identify or measure the specified biomarker(s) will be recorded.
Chronic inflammation-related biomarkers Immunosuppression-related biomarkers
F0B7 Pro-/anti-inflammatory cytokines F0B7 Innate immunity-related biomarkers: i.e. impairment of the complement system, Natural Killer (NK) cells, etc.
F0B7 Serum proteins/compounds related to inflammatory conditions
F0B7 Humoral immunity-related biomarkers: immunoglobulins, vaccine antibody titers, B-cell subtypes
F0B7 Cellular biomarkers: myeloid-cell infiltration or cell number changes
F0B7 Cell-mediated immunity-related biomarkers: T-cell subtypes (CD4+/CD8+), chemokines
F0B7 Intracellular biomarkers: i.e. NLRP3
Human in vivo evidence stream All human studies were considered for review regardless of population location, sex, etc.
Endpoint description: Human in vivo endpoints based on biomarkers or other measures of effect will be broadly categorized as pertaining to inflammation or immunotoxicity. Weighted evidence score is the highest pursuant to Section 2.6.
Animal in vivo evidence stream Species: species of animal subjects for in vivo studies will be classified within mammalian or non-mammalian sub-groups

Endpoint description: Animal in vivo study endpoints based on biomarkers or other measures of effect will be broadly categorized as pertaining to chronic inflammation, immunosuppression, or both. Weighted evidence score is high pursuant to Section 2.6.
In vitro/ex vivo evidence stream(s) Cell species: cell species will be classified as mammalian or non-mammalian sub-groups
Mammalian
F0B7 Bottlenose dolphin
F0B7 Baikal seals
F0B7 Human
F0B7 Mice
F0B7 Murine (unspecified)
F0B7 Rabbits
F0B7 Rats
Non-mammalian
F0B7 Zebrafish (embryos)
Cell type: Any and all cell types from the above species were considered for review. Endpoint description: Human and animal in vitro study endpoints based on biomarkers or other measures of effect will be broadly categorized as pertaining to chronic inflammation, immunosuppression, or both. Weighted evidence score is low pursuant to Section 2.6.
In silico evidence stream Endpoint description: In silico study endpoints based on biomarkers or other measures of effect will be broadly categorized as pertaining to chronic inflammation, immunosuppression, or both.
Review evidence stream Endpoint description: Review studies are not classified as providing evidence to chronic inflammation or immunosuppression endpoints.
