Publisher Summary This chapter describes the screening for immunosuppressants. There are several types of cells responsible for specialized functions in the immune system that act through hormone-like substances, much as in the nervous system. It was found that T cells could be cultured indefinitely in the presence of immunological hormone interleukin

Immunomodulators for conjunctivitis
Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2013Allergic conjunctivitis is an IgE-mediated inflammatory of conjunctiva. Despite the fact that histamine is a major mediator in this condition, use of topical antihistamines often gives only temporarily relief. Therapeutic agents aiming at inflammatory cascades of the disease are desirable particularly in cases with prolonged and severe allergic ...

Cytokine immunomodulators have received considerable attention. Interferon-alpha has broad clinical application for treatment of a number of viruses. The neutrophil-stimulatory effects of interferon-gamma are useful in neutrophil disorders. TNF antagonists are useful in rheumatoid arthritis but carry the risk of activating intracellular organisms ...

As the armamentarium for sedation in the critically ill expands, opportunities will develop to modulate the immune responses of patients by way of the direct immune and neural-immune interactions of the sedatives. Control of autonomic activity through the use of appropriate sedation may be critical in this matter.

Immunomodulators in anesthesia
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2021Purpose of review Anesthetics are known to have immunomodulatory effects. These can be detrimental, inducing immunosuppression and facilitating the development of opportunistic infections, especially when used at high doses, for prolonged periods, or in patients with preexisting immune deficiency; or beneficial, modulating the ...

Immunomodulation and preeclampsia
Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2019Preeclampsia (PE) is an enigmatic syndrome, still with unknown aetiology and multi-factorial pathogenesis. Our understanding of the role of the immune system in PE development has undergone a transformation over the years. From a model based on the alterations in cell-mediated immunity, research moved on to a vision centred on the alteration of the ...

Nonspecific immunomodulators are substances that induce non-antigen-specific enhancement of the body's native or acquired defense mechanisms. Immunomodulant preparations are most often used for treatment of chronic, viral, or bacterial infection with evidence of secondary immunosuppression.

The immunological rejection of transplanted tissues and organs is one of the major problems in organ replacement, and immunosuppression still carries significant long-term side effects. One solution may reside in novel therapeutic strategies that strive to prevent the need for long-term and high dose immunosuppression.

A new era is emerging in the therapy of rheumatic disease involving the use of biologically based immunomodulators. Cytokines, such as the interleukins and interferons, are proteins produced by activated lymphoid cells which can now be synthesised by genetic engineering techniques. These agents have already been used to correct "immune deficiencies" in
