Macrophage Activation by Drugs Leading to Autoimmunity
FY 2008-09
Summary
Drugs can cause serious side-effects. Some of these side-effects are mediated by the immune system (a type of allergic reaction) and are very unpredictable. We are trying to understand the basic of these side-effects so that drugs can be designed so that they are less likely to cause such adverse reactions and so that we can better predict who is likely to have such adverse reactions.
