Abstract
A synthesis of nanochitosan from Bombyx mori chitosan with particle sizes of 20 - 100 nm was carried out. The antibacterial and immunological properties of synthesized nanochitosan were first studied. It was revealed that preparations based on nanochitosan have pronounced antibacterial activity, and are also able to significantly increase the immune response of the living system.Keywords
