Food and Agricultural Immunology

Food and Agricultural Immunology present original immunological research with food, agricultural, environmental and veterinary applications. It discusses an understanding of the interactions at the interface of the food and immune systems including studies on development of diagnostic systems - all types of ligand based assays, such as antibody and aptmer. Food and Agricultural Immunology is a specialized field that intersects immunology with food science and agriculture. It focuses on understanding how the immune system interacts with food components, agricultural products, and related pathogens or allergens. Introduction to Immunology and Agriculture: Food and Agricultural Immunology explores the immune responses triggered by food components and agricultural products. It encompasses research into immune reactions to food allergies, sensitivities, and the immunological benefits of food components like probiotics, Food Allergies and Sensitivities: Studies in this field investigate the mechanisms underlying food allergies and sensitivities, which involve immune responses to specific proteins or other components in food. Certain foods possess immunomodulatory properties, influencing immune responses positively or negatively. These properties are studied for potential health benefits or risks.
