Immunotoxicology Strategies for Pharmaceutical Safety Assessment

Explains strategies for immunotoxicology pharmaceutical safety assessments, which can reduce drug candidate attrition and streamline the development process. Top page

Complete description

This book is an important reference which provides an overview of the current and recently introduced methodologies for testing the immunotoxic risks in drug candidates. It helps readers understand the significance of the methods and approaches to immunotoxicology testing. It aids drug scientists in industry and regulatory areas to consolidate approaches to immunotox testing. It offers a definitive assessment of nonclinical models to study the toxic impacts (bio)pharmaceuticals can have on the immune system. It includes chapter authors from across the pharma industry, bringing a real-world and applied perspective to immunotox testing. Top page
