毒理基因組學是利用DNA微陣列技術，研究化合物作用于機體后的基因變化，將組學技術與傳統(tǒng)毒理學及組織病理學相結合，評價和預測化合物的毒性的一門學科。隨著毒理基因組學的廣泛應用，免疫毒理學領域也開始利用基因表達譜來分析化合物的免疫毒性。目前認為免疫毒理基因組學可能在下述3個方面具有較高的應用價值，即免疫毒性物質的篩選、免疫毒性作用機制的研究以及免疫毒性風險評估?，F(xiàn)圍繞這3個方面，對毒理基因組學在免疫毒理學領域中的應用進行闡述。

Toxicogenomics is the subject that researches on the genetic changes by using DNA microarray technology after the compounds acting on the body. It combines omics technologies with conventional toxicology and histopathology in order to evaluate and predict the toxicity of a compound. With the wide application of toxicogenomics, it begins to analyze the immunotoxicity of compounds by using gene expression profiling in immunotoxicity. Currently, scientists believe that the immunotoxicogenomics may have higher value in the following three areas, immunotoxicity screening substances, immune mechanisms of toxicity, and immunotoxicity risk assessment. Therefore, it was discussed in these three aspects of application of immune toxicology in this paper.
