Immunomodulatory Effects of Nanomaterials: Assessment and Analysis provides an overview of the modulatory impact of nanomaterials on the immune system, as well as evaluative and analytical methods for assessing effects. Sections cover a range of common nanomaterials for biomedical use and how different properties can elicit varied responses from the immune system. The immunomodulatory effects of these materials are then discussed, with coverage on adverse and/or toxic effects on the immune system, as well as desired modulatory effects to improve efficacy of applied therapeutics. Readers will also learn about the best evaluation methods for immunomodulatory effects of nanomaterials and associated risks. This book is a useful reference for academics and researchers with an interest in immunology, but it is also idea for those working in the fields of materials science, biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical science, immunology and toxicology. - Details a range of common nanomaterials and how their specific properties and characteristics interact with the immune system - Discusses the immunomodulatory effects of nanomaterials, from unintentional and potentially harmful, to intentional and desired effects on the immune system - Explores methods for evaluation of immunomodulatory effects of nanomaterials, as well as precautions and risks for data analysis and interpretation
