2010 Annual Meeting

Session: Biomaterials for Immunological Applications

This session will highlight recent advances in immunological applications of biomaterials. Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) novel biomaterial interactions with the immune system, biomaterials for vaccines or antimicrobial applications, immunosuppressive strategies, controlled release of immunomodulatory agents (including antigens, cytokines, chemokines, immunosuppressive agents, etc...), immune cell activation or differentiation strategies, biomimetic strategies, and detection strategies for immune function. Both innate and adaptive immune strategies are welcome.
