(2012, background): “…studies highlight the need for undertaking further investigations on the antigenicity (capacity to evoke immune response) of nanoparticles per se and their complexes (with cellular biomolecules) as well as the resulting specific immune responses (Curtis et al., 2006; Lanone and Boczkowski, 2006).”
