Raw and treated drinking water was screened for effects on inflammatory activity using the biomarker IL-6, humoral immunity using the biomarker IL-10 and cell mediated immunity using the biomarker FN-γ. In vitro human whole blood culture assays were used in order to elucidate potential immunotoxicity.
