What Are the Health Implications of Immune Modulation?
The health implications of immune modulation can be severe and varied. Immunosuppression increases susceptibility to infections and reduces vaccine efficacy, posing significant risks to immunocompromised individuals. Immunoenhancement can lead to allergic reactions, hypersensitivity, and chronic inflammatory conditions. Autoimmune diseases, where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues, can result from dysregulated immune responses. Understanding these implications is crucial for risk assessment and management of toxic exposures.
