Glossary of Immunotoxicology Terms with 1200 Entries

1200 primary alphabetical entries define terms for chemists and other non-immunologists contributing to immunotoxicology studies. The glossary includes terms related to basic and clinical immunology, diagnosing and measuring immune system effects, and annexes on abbreviations, chemicals, autoantibodies, and therapeutic agents. Douglas M. Templeton of the University of Toronto authored this resource to facilitate the use of chemistry in occupational and environmental risk assessment.
