The Immunotoxicology specialty section is dedicated to defining the effects of chemicals and drugs on the immune system not only in humans but also in other living species. We encourage academic, industrial and regulatory groups to highlight new directions and perspectives for investigative, diagnostic and regulatory aspects in fundamental and applied immunotoxicology.
Read MoreThe recent advances in immunotoxicology have filled gaps in our understanding of how chemicals from occupational or environmental sources dysregulate the immune system and induce severe chronic diseases or increase the risk of developing allergic, inflammatory, cancerous or infectious disorders. These considerable progresses resulted in new in vitro tests assessing the immunoreactivity of chemicals and particles.
New challenges are, however, opening before us and we must utilize the contemporary technologies and concepts emerging in fundamental immunology to open up ways of elucidating the specific immune responses activated by toxicants.
