immunological therapy

Immunotherapy immunotherapy treatment including immune cells and drug treatment, the treatment is to point to the patient's immune cells from the blood inside, with some cytokines in vitro, and make it into a killer cells, and then back into the blood, the killer cells can recognize kill tumor cells.There is a direct to the patient with some immune preparations, like interferon and interleukin Ⅱ, etc., are called immunotherapy.Immunotherapy refers to stimulate the body's own immune system to fight cancer treatments.The immune system is the body's own defense system to fight disease.Immunotherapy is also called biological response modification agent (biologic response modifiers) or biological therapy

Immunotherapy may be classified in three ways:
1, affect the body's immune response, immune enhancement therapy, immunosuppressive therapy.
The former is mainly used for the treatment of infection, tumor, immunodeficiency disease, such as a weakened immune system disease;The latter is mainly used for treatment of allergic reactions, such as autoimmune disease, transplant rejection immune function disorder.
2, treatment of specificity: specific immune therapy, nonspecific immune therapy.
The former mainly has three ways: vaccination, infusion product specificity immune response, using antibodies specific weed out immune cells subgroup or to guide treatment, has the antigen specificity;The latter including nonspecific immune enhancer and the application of immunosuppressant, no antigen specificity.
3, the preparation used for the treatment: active immunity and passive immunity.
The former the former provides the immunogenicity of preparation, to make the body active specificity immune effect.The latter provides the effect of the immune response artifact, direct immune effect into full play.
