Introduction and application of Immunotherapeutic treatments.



Immunotherapy arose as an advanced and effective treatment to fight against cancer. With the help of this blog we are going to give you an introduction of immunotherapy, its applications and why it is the most used therapy these days. Immunotherapy is the treatment of any type of disease, through the enhancement, suppression, or induction of a response from the immune system. And to simplify it even further, it is used to either amplify or suppress an immunity effect. Simple, isn’t it! 

There are two main types of this immune based therapy such as Activation immune based therapy and Suppression Immune based therapies. Immunomodulators are mainly the active agents of this type of treatment which act either by activation of the immune system or by suppression of the immune system. And they are made of various preparations, that could be natural, synthetic or even recombinant, Cytokines are often the case, but let us take a look at several examples of them which include Cytokines such as Interferons, G-CSF, Chemokines such as CCL3, CCL26, Interleukins such as IL 2 to IL 12 and others like cytosine phosphate guano sine, glucans.

These types of active agents are attractive for usage as a regimen because they often have side effects that are not as strong or unfavorable as drugs and also create less resistance when it comes to microbial diseases.
These immunomodulators are used for is called cell based immunotherapy, which has proven to be effective for some kind of cancer. Immune effector cells are like natural killer cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, cytotoxic T lymphocytes and so on.

Mainly the way to work to protect the body is by targeting abnormal antigen on the surface of the cancerous cells that have mutated.

So, all this shows the introduction and applications of immunotherapy through this blog. It is a leading therapy and a novel area of cancer research in recent years.
