Synthetic immunology

Synthetic immunology is the rational design and construction of synthetic systems that perform complex immunological functions.^[1] Functions include using specific cell markers to target cells for destruction and or interfering with immune reactions.^[2] US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved immune system modulators include anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents, vaccines, therapeutic antibodies and Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists.^[1]
