Interaction of Nanomaterials with the Immune System (Molecular and Integrative Toxicology)

Description

This book covers the latest information related to understanding immune responses to engineered nanomaterials (ENMs). Many ENMs used in both the consumer and biomedical fields have been reported to elicit adverse immune responses ranging from innate immune responses such as complement activation to changes in adaptive immunity that influence pathogen responses and promote disease states such as asthma. Interaction of Nanomaterials with the Immune System covers the most up to date information on our understanding of immune responses to ENMs across a wide range of topics including innate immunity, allergic immune responses, adaptive provides the reader with (1) up to date understanding of immune responses to ENMs; (2) current testing methods; and (3) appropriate models including alternative testing strategies for evaluating immunotoxicity of ENMs. Product Details Series: Molecular and Integrative Toxicology Hardcover: 223 pages Publisher: Springer; 1st ed. 2020 edition (January 31, 2020) Language: English ISBN-10: 3030339610 ISBN-13: 978-3030339616 Product Dimensions: 6.1 x 0.6 x 9.2 inches
