Publisher Summary No existing therapy for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is preventative, curative, or disease modifying. This chapter highlights the immunomodulatory therapy for asthma and COPD. Asthma is associated with chronic, cell-mediated inflammation of the bronchial mucosa in which eosinophil-active cytokine products ...

Immunomodulation by bromocriptine
Immunopharmacology, 1983Treatment of rats with the dopaminergic ergot alkaloid bromocriptine (BRC) inhibited the following immune reactions: contact sensitivity skin reaction to dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB); antibody formation to sheep red blood cells and to bacterial lipopolysaccharide; adjuvant arthritis; and experimental allergic encephalitis. Immunosuppressive doses of BRC

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2002
The fetus and the neonate are particularly vulnerable to injury caused directly by immunologic mechanisms or inflicted by infectious agents that take advantage of their relatively immature and inexperienced immune system. With increasing survival of high-risk neonates in the surfactant era, prevention/treatment of sepsis and chronic lung disease (CLD ...

Expert Review of Clinical Immunology, 2012
. Although parsley has been used to treat allergy, autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disorders, the mechanism underlying its beneficial effects in these immune-mediated diseases have been rarely investigated. Of the various therapeutically beneficial aspects of parsley, we decided to examine the immunomodulatory effects of this plant.In our study ...

Gangliosides as Immunomodulators
2007Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids expressed at the outer leaflet of the plasmatic membrane of cells from vertebrate organisms. These molecules exert diverse biological functions including modulation of the immune system responses. Aberrant expression of gangliosides has been demonstrated on malignant cells. Besides expression on tumor cell membranes,

Cimetidine: An Immunomodulator
DICP, 1990Suppressor T lymphocytes possess histamine2 (H2) receptors and contribute significantly to the function of the immune system. Experimentally, cimetidine, an H2-receptor antagonist, has been shown to enhance a variety of immunologic functions both in vivo and in vitro because of its inhibitory effects on suppressor-cell function.

Enkephalins as immunomodulators
International Journal of Immunopharmacology, 1983The protective effects of methionine enkephalin as well as leucine enkephalin were studied in BDF1 mice inoculated with 1 X 10(4) and 1 X 10(2) cells of L1210 murine leukemia. Significant increases in number of survivors were observed in mice treated with enkephalins.

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 1985
A large number of synthetic derivatives, inorganic compounds or naturally occurring substances are able to depress, regulate or enhance the immune response. Immunomodulators, among which some are chemically well defined and others are complex preparations, exhibit a great variety of chemical structures which are briefly reviewed, without details on ...
