What Factors Influence Immune Response to Nanoparticles?
Several factors can influence the immune response to nanoparticles, including: - Size: Smaller nanoparticles are more likely to be taken up by cells. - Shape: The shape of nanoparticles can affect how they are processed by the immune system. - Surface Chemistry: The chemical composition and surface coatings of nanoparticles can influence their interaction with immune cells. - Surface Charge: Positively or negatively charged nanoparticles can interact differently with cell membranes and proteins.
