Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2000
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.

1988
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

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.

Dermatologic Clinics, 1988
Several of the cytokines that regulate the immune system have been tested for efficacy in the clinical setting. Of these, interleukin-2 shows particular potential for antitumor therapy when used in combination with autologous lymphokine-activated killer cells; the interferons have proved effective in the treatment of certain viral diseases and ...

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 ...

Cimetidine: An Immunomodulator
DICP, 1990Suppressor T lymphocytes possess histamine 2 (H 2 ) receptors and contribute significantly to the function of the immune system. Experimentally, cimetidine, an H 2 -receptor antagonist, has been shown to enhance a

Immunomodulation and immunodeficiency
Veterinary Dermatology, 2004Abstract This article briefly reviews the concepts of immunodeficiency and immunomodulation as they relate to selected skin diseases in the dog and cat. Immunodeficiency states are uncommon and may be associated with a subnormal or down‐regulated immune system, including humoral deficiencies, such as IgA, and abnormal lymphocyte or neutrophil function.

Cytotechnology, 1991
An effective boosting of the host immunocompetence is possible through synthetic immunomodulators, keeping in mind that they are no panacea for all microbial diseases. No drug is effective on all phases or effector cells of the immune response and it is postulated that in a near future combined therapies will be attempted with antibiotics or anti ...

Corticosteroids as Immunomodulators
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1993Corticosteroids are potent anti-inflammatory and anti-immunologic modulators. They interact with cellular receptors, which eventually leads to modification of DNA transcription. These changes sometimes inhibit cell function and sometimes increase production of cell products.

Transplant Immunology, 2002
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, or statins, are effective lipid lowering agents, extensively used in medical practice. Statins have never been shown to be involved in the immune response, although few clinical reports have suggested a better outcome of cardiac transplantation in patients under pravastatin therapy.
