For many biomedical applications, recognition of nanoparticles by the immune system is a major problem: white cells detect foreign agents (including nanoparticles) and may destroy them in just a few seconds. Through nanotechnology it is possible to impact on immune activation. In this article, microbial molecules known as pathogen–associated–molecular–patterns will be introduced in two distinct contexts, on one side as undesirable factors during the production of pharmaceuticals, on another, as novel opportunities for the development of highly efficient nanovaccines.

Palabras llave : nanoparticles; nanomedicine; activation of immune response; nanovaccines.
