Nanoparticles and the Immune System
Nanoparticles and the Immune System provides a
reference text for toxicologists, materials scientists and
regulators and covers the key issues of interaction of
nanomaterials with the immune system. The book discusses several
issues that toxicologists and regulators need to know:
identification of endpoints that are relevant for assessing
hazard, evaluating impact on immunologically frail populations,
and how to evaluate chronic/cumulative effects. In addition, the
book addresses the possibility of turning the immunomodulating
properties of certain nanomaterials to our advantage for
amplifying immune responses in certain diseases or preventive
strategies (e.g. vaccination).
