Abstract
Immunostimulatory chemicals may pose a threat to human health, because such chemicals, which include a variety of drugs and environmental pollutants, may induce allergic or autoimmunogenic responses in susceptible individuals. One important goal of current immunotoxicology is to develop models or design strategies to assess the hazard of chemicals to induce allergic or autoimmune phenomena.
