Stress-Induced Immunomodulation: What Is It, If It Is?

  • Chapter
Animal Stress

Abstract

Stress-induced immunomodulation is a topic of concern to all scientists using animal models in their research, because research animals must be maintained in optimal health in experimental protocols. Indeed a reduction and the possible elimination of stress is particularly important in the study of long-term development, aging, and chronic toxicity. In addition, an understanding of stress-induced immunomodulation is especially vital for those researchers whose work involves measurement of immune-function end points in animals (19).
