Immunotoxicology is the study of adverse effects on the immune system resulting from occupational, inadvertent, or therapeutic exposure to drugs, environmental chemicals, and, in some instances, biological materials. For the purpose of this chapter, we refer to these substances collectively as "xenobiotics." Immunotoxicity is subdivided into three main research areas: (a) studies of altered immunological events associated with exposure of humans and animals to xenobiotics, including altered host resistance to infectious disease; (b) studies of allergy and autoimmunity resulting from xenobiotic exposure; and (c) implementation of analytical immunological methods into toxicology research. This chapter focuses only on chemical induced immunomodulation and describes several classes of irnmunotoxic xenobiotics, emphasizing cellular and molecular targets. Laboratory studies, conducted primarily in rodents, have provided evi dence that the immune system is very sensitive to chemical injury (reviewed in 1-6). This sensitivity is probably due as much to the general properties of a xenobiotic (e.g. reactivity with macromolecules) as to the complex nature of the immune system, which encompasses antigen recognition and processing;
