Abstract

Trace elements are essential nutrients that are required in minute quantities to support the optimal function of an organism. This chapter reviews the role of four trace elements, including copper, iron, selenium, and zinc in immune function. Each of these trace elements has a function in both the innate and acquired immune system.
