商品簡介
Reflecting key advances, Investigative Immunotoxicology evaluates proposed experimental animal models and approaches, and discusses the contribution that immunotoxicity makes in assessing chemical-induced adverse health effects. After reviewing general concepts, the book discusses emerging methodologies at the cellular and molecular levels, and describes advances in animal model development in testing food allergenicity and genetically modified products. It presents animal models of autoimmunity associated with chemical exposure, includes recommendations for selecting sentinel species in ecotoxicology, and concludes with a review of immunotoxicology as it relates to a variety of wildlife species.
