The water-soluble nanocomposite with the uniform distribution of silver nanoparticles in polymer matrix was synthesized on the basis of poly-1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole. Physicochemical and immunomodulatory properties of the nanocomposite were studied. The stimulating effect of the nanocomposite on the functional capability of phagocytes in vitro and potential of using it as a drug, which increases the natural resistance of organism against infectious agents, were established.
