wath is application nanotechnology in immunology?

Because of the small size nano technology will help in making medicine/curing tools that is small enough to  flow in the blood streams and only kill harmful cells instead of healthy cells.This help not only physically but also mentalli because people doesn't really have to deal with that much of phisical pain such as injected , cut by surgery knifes etc but instead swallowing the necessary cure and thus aiding a much faster recovery.\nNanotechnology tools might also be used to study germs and how our immune system affect it whether inside our body or on the germs body concerned.

fluorescent microscopy will work for this.  First fix the cells (3% paraformaldehyde) then permeabilize (0.5% triton-x) and then stain with antibody to your protein of interest.

The main research for nanotechnology is to make our current technology smaller and more efficent.  However, medical research will be one gigantic step. The innovations that nanotechnology can provide to medicle science is extreme, from minimizing the amount of surgery that is done, to venal and artirial repairs, to healing of wounds and stiching of cuts and fractures.  Some great resources on nanotechnology are listed in the 'sources' section below:

Nanotechnology. Improved digital broadcasting and free phone calls. Synthetic fuels. New and wonderful drugs for diseases now difficult to treat.

A nanometer is one billionth of a meter.  Nanotechnology is any technology which exploits phenomena and structures that can only occur at the nanometer scale, which is the scale of several atoms and small molecules.  There are proposed uses for this in many industries.  For example, nanobots could go into your bloodstream and promote healing like in sci-fi movies.

Nanotechnology is the next big step\nbut its really tough stuff

Check out nanotechnology, the science and technology of building electronic circuits, devices, etc., from single atoms and molecules. \n\nThe science of construction in which dimensions of the components are less than 100 nanometers (nm; 10−9 of a metre), this is 100,000 times thinner than a human hair.\n\n The term was introduced by Nomo Taniguchi in 1974 to refer to mechanical machining methods. \n\nTop-down nanotechnology concentrates on manufacturing on this very small scale. Techniques such as photo lithography are used to make transistors for integrated circuits; the smaller the transistor, and the closer together they are packed, the higher the processing power of the chip. An Intel Pentium chip has about 1·5 million transistors. A specialized Dynamic Random Access (DRAM) chip carries 64 million transistors. \n\nBottom-up nanotechnology builds with individual atoms. \n\n\nThis area of new technology may hold the most promise on the horizon.

A branch of science and engineering devoted to the design and production of extremely small electronic devices and circuits built from individual atoms and molecules.It ia a technology that creates small materials at the scale of molecules by manipulating single atoms. The name nano comes from the size of molecules which is measured in nanometers - or one billionth of a meter (0.000000001 meter).

Nanotechnology comprises technological developments on the nanometer scale, usually 0.1 to 100 nm. Nanotechnology is any technology which exploits phenomena and structures that can only occur at the nanometer scale, which is the scale of single atoms and small molecules. The United States' National Nanotechnology Initiative website defines it as follows: "Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 to 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications." Such phenomena include quantum confinement--which can result in different electromagnetic and optical properties of a material between nanoparticles and the bulk material.

Nanotechnology, like anything else, is being developed with the intentions of using it to help society (for good).  However, once developed, people will be able to think of all kinds of ways to use it for destructive purposes.

Checkout what is being done with nanotechnology and building structures, Complex structures!, with dna strands!\n\nhttp://www.nature.com/nature/links/040212/040212-1.html\n\nIf it CAN and it can be measured imagine what can be done!\nalmost scary!

Best bet would be physics, chemistry, and engineering for your undergrad training, followed by materials science and any specific nanotech courses in grad school-a master's or better would be needed.  Cal tech is tops in this field.

To be immunogenic, a molecule needs to be "large enough" or attached to a large molecule.  The epitopes must be different to those in the body; the "self".\n\nThere are other factors.\n\nThis is a good site on Immunology:\n\nhttp://pathmicro.med.sc.edu/book/immunol-sta.htm

Nano-technology is a conceptualization of micro-biological machinery designed to work within the human body.\n\nAs of yet, it's only theory.....give it time, and it wouldn't surprise me.\n\nI saw tests on holograms in Japan just 2 years ago....so if they're managed THAT....nanotech shouldn't be too long yet.

Nanotechnology\n\nTechnology development at the atomic, molecular, or macromolecular range of approximately 1-100 nanometers to create and use structures, devices, and systems that have novel properties.\n\nOr to put it another way\n\nNanotechnology is a catch-all phrase for materials and devices that operate at the nanoscale. In the metric system of measurement, “Nano” equals a billionth and therefore a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter. References to nano materials, nanoelectronics, nano devices and nanopowders simply mean the material or activity can be measured in nanometers. To appreciate the size, a human red blood cell is over 2,000 nanometers long, virtually outside the nanoscale range!\n \n  \n \nRecently, government and private institutions have devoted substantial research into finding potential valuable uses at this scale, as discussed below.

hmm, there are lots of different options.\nI did a project on cancer radiation therapies with focus on the biological aspects of the efficacy of radiation (i.e. cell death).\nLast year i did a bionic eye presentation that had people who were blind from birth seeing black dots on a white field (but they didn't have depth perception).  It was fascinating - they had glasses hooked up to the patient and wires connected to a computer (worn on the belt) that further connected directly to the visual cortex of his brain via a cable "plugged" into his neck.\n\nWhat about nanotechnology for curing diseases in the blood?
