Abstract

 


Nanomaterials are present in many aspects of daily human life. At the nanometric scale, the properties of matter become complex to analyze, and their effects are difficult to predict. For this reason, a large part of the scientific community has focused on the exhaustive study of its interactions with biological organisms, particularly with the immune system, as this is the first line of defense in living beings. The determining factors in the interaction of the immune system with nanomaterials are the physicochemical properties of the latter. Nanoimmunotoxicity mechanisms can be triggered from these interactions, and the reactions involved in them can be used in immunotherapy techniques to contribute to the solution of public health problems. Some of the most important findings to date about the immune responses elicited by exposure to nanomaterials are compiled in this review.
