METHODS AND BIOMARKERS FOR DETECTING NANOPARTICLE EXPOSURE

摘要

Methods for gene expression profiling for exposure to nanoscale particulates or nanomaterials is provided together with identified biomarkers for nanomaterial exposure. A toxicogenomic exposure profile for nanomaterial contact is provided in accordance with a systems biology approach by iteratively sampling a test system several times after contact with nanomaterials of various chemical types.
