Synopsis Molecular Immunotoxicology by : Emanuela Corsini
The human immune system is constantly exposed to chemical contaminants, whether from food, water or air. Some chemicals directly elicit an immune response, while others indirectly activate or deactivate components within the immune system. Thus when tracking or predicting the effect of a chemical on the immune system, many different pathways and modes of action need to be considered. Following an introduction to the various pathways and toxicity mechanisms from a systemic perspective, the main part of this comprehensive reference surveys individual molecular mechanisms of important immunotoxicants, from PAHs to biopharmaceuticals, and from receptor-mediated toxicity to nanoparticle toxicity, using analyses based on molecular effects rather than on animal models. 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.

Synopsis Biologic Markers in Immunotoxicology by : National Research Council
Are environmental pollutants threatening the human immune system? Researchers are rapidly approaching definitive answers to this question, with the aid of biologic markersâ€"sophisticated assessment tools that could revolutionize detection and prevention of certain diseases. This volume, third in a series on biologic markers, focuses on the human immune system and its response to environmental toxicants. The authoring committee provides direction for continuing development of biologic markers, with strategies for applying markers to immunotoxicology in humans and recommended outlines for clinical and field studies. This comprehensive, up-to-date volume will be invaluable to specialists in toxicology and immunology and to biologists and investigators involved in the development of biologic markers.

Synopsis Immunotoxicogenomics by : Md. Naimat Ali
Immunotoxicogenomics: A Multidisciplinary Approach in Systems Toxicology provides broad coverage to diverse aspects of immunotoxicogenomics. The book covers the major mechanisms and effects of toxic substances on the immune system and on the regulation of gene expression. This includes the aims, opportunities, clinical applications, recent developments, emerging and future trends in immunotoxicogenomics.The book starts off with a discussion of the systemic approach to the study of toxicants. It also looks at the current genomic tools used to assess immunotoxicity and the systems biology methods used in immuno-toxicogenomics. Other topics include genomic expression profiling, the use of gene expression as a tool to understand and predict immunotoxicity, immunotox-icogenomics as a screening tool, and the assessment and analysis of Immunotoxicogenomics data. Future trends round off the discussion in the book. Immunotoxicogenomics: A Multidisciplinary Approach in Systems Toxicology provides a collaborative multidisciplinary approach for researchers in the fields of toxicology, genetics, and immunology and others engaged in the study on the effects of toxic substances on immune responses. - Offers background and progress information for clinical applications and potential immunotoxicogenomics prospects - Covers the major mechanisms currently known by which toxic substances affect the immune system and gene expression - Provides a multidisciplinary approach to immunotoxicology, with updated content on fundamentals, the latest breakthroughs, clinical applications, and future perspectives

Synopsis Immunotoxicology And Immunopharmacology by : H Dean Jack
The second edition of this text has been revised and refocused to reflect the transformation of immunotoxicology from a subdiscipline of toxicology to an independent area of research that can best be described as "environmental immunology." New chapters discuss the role of immune mediators in liver, lung, and skin toxicity, in regulating chemical- metabolizing enzymes, and in the immunosuppression produced by ultraviolet light. More emphasis is placed on the clinical consequences of immunotoxicity, as well as the interpretation of experimental data for predicting, human health risk.; The second edition is divided into three major sections: immunosuppression, autoimmunity, and hypersensitivity. This new organization of the text allows for a more thorough treatment of these phenomena, with greater attention to test methods, theoretical considerations, and clinical implications. The book includes many chapters on specific environmental agents, therapeutic drugs, biological agents, and drugs of abuse, as well as on immune-mediated toxicity in specific organ systems.

Synopsis History of Immunotoxicology by : Jacques Descotes
History of Immunotoxicology offers the first book-length exploration of the development and importance of the field of immunotoxicology, describing the adverse health effects involving the immune system, hypersensitivity and autoimmunity. It explores new avenues of research and immunotoxicity evaluation, regulatory aspects of immunotoxicology, and the withdrawal/banning from the market of several approved drugs and chemicals due to their immunotoxic effects. In addition, clinical manifestations of immunotoxicity, such as anaphylaxis, opportunistic infections, lymphomas, cytokine storm, and immunotherapy are addressed. Finally, the book considers how the recent past can provide insights on the future practice of immunotoxicology. As preventive measures are implemented to reduce risks, including banning of chemicals or applications of one given chemical, current toxicologists may not be aware of the toxicity potential of chemicals. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in government, industry and academia who have an interest in immunotoxicology. Examines the development of immunotoxicology Provides context to current debates on the actual toxicity potential of chemicals Covers major developments and areas of immunotoxicology

Synopsis T Lymphocytes Subpopulations in Immunotoxicology by : Ian Kimber
Den T-Lymphocyten kommt eine Schlüsselrolle im Immunsystem zu: Sie sind unter anderem für Resistenzen gegenüber Infektionen und Tumoren und für die Entwicklung von Allergien und Autoimmunität verantwortlich. Bisher gab es kein vergleichbares Buch, das Funktionen und Subpopulationen der T-Zellen wie das vorliegende Werk von immunbiologischen Grundlagen ausgehend zusammenfassend darstellt.(05/98)
