Introduction[edit | edit source]
Immunotherapy is the use of drugs (e.g., immunosuppressors), biologicals (e.g., cytokines, monoclonal antibodies), vitamins and minerals (e.g., zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin B6), transplantation (e.g., bone marrow) and immunizations (e.g., prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines) to control immune responses in diverse directions.
Immunotherapy works to upregulate or downregulate the immune system to achieve a therapeutic effect in immunological mediated disorders including: malignancies; immunodeficiencies; hypersensitivity reactions; autoimmune diseases, tissue and organ transplantations; inflammatory disorders; infectious diseases; and any other disease where immunotherapy can improve the quality of life and survival.[1]
