The first comprehensive reference on immunotoxicology using analyses based on molecular effects rather than on animal models. Following an introduction to immune system pathways and toxicity mechanisms from a systemic perspective, the main part of the book surveys individual molecular mechanisms of important immunotoxicants, from PAHs to biopharmaceuticals, and from receptor–mediated toxicity to nanoparticle toxicity. Taken together, the knowledge presented here provides an up–to–date overview of this hot topic that can be directly applied to the prediction and characterization of immunotoxic effects in drugs, chemicals, and environmental contaminants.
