Toxicology and the Immune System: a Perspective

ICI Central Toxicology Laboratory, Alderley Park, Macclesfield, Cheshire SK10 4TJ, UK

The relationship of immunology to toxicology has not always been an easy one, and the product of this association, immunotoxicology, has not infrequently been viewed with a certain scepticism by some of those who consider themselves 'classical' toxicologists. A recent meeting of the British Toxicology Society ('Toxicology and the Immune System', New College Oxford, March 21-22, 1991) provided an opportunity for some remedial work toward a wider appreciation of the issues which exercise immunotoxicologists, and the ways in which they are being addressed. It is not the purpose of this short article to provide a comprehensive account of the scientific presentations, but rather to give a perspective, necessarily a personal one, of immunotoxicology in the context of the meeting.
