Study Notes
Immune Response Control
- Immunodeficiency treatment: Immunosuppressants are used to control cases of immune deficiency.
Immunosuppressants
- Non-Selective Immunosuppressants: inhibit the immune system's ability to respond to antigens, making them useful in preventing rejection of transplanted organs and treating autoimmune diseases.
- Mechanism of action: Non-Selective Immunosuppressants inhibit the activation of T-cells and B-cells, reducing the production of cytokines and antibodies, which in turn suppresses the immune response.
Immunostimulants
- Boosting immunity: Immunostimulants achieve boosting immunity in cancer or immunodeficiency by increasing the production of cytokines, activating immune cells, and enhancing antigen presentation.
- Role in cancer treatment: Immunostimulants stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Anti-Allergics
- Immune response control: Anti-Allergics are used to control allergic reactions by preventing the release of histamine and other chemical mediators from mast cells.
Immunization
- Immunostimulants and Immunization: Immunization is a type of Immunostimulant that stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against specific pathogens, providing immunity against future infections.
- Role in Immunostimulants: Immunization plays a crucial role in Immunostimulants, as it enables the immune system to recognize and respond to specific pathogens, enhancing immunity.
