ASSESSING EFFECTS OF CUCURBITURILS ON MONOCYTES AND NK-CELLS IN HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS

Nanotechnology in immunology is a prospectively developing area in fundamental and practical medicine. Cucurbiturils are macrocyclic cavitands with a definite amount of glycoluril fragments (n) that determine the size of the cavity of these compounds. Nowadays, there are six synthesized homologues:...
