Immunostimulants: Concepts, Types and Functions

Abstract: The proper functioning of human immune system is essential for organism survival against infectious, toxic and oncogenic agents. The concept of immunomodulation was proposed by Edward Jenner, while working on polio vaccine in 1796. A brawny, fine-functioning immune system is the keystone of excellent health. Immune replies are the consequence of an effectual interaction among innate (natural and non-specific) and acquired (adaptive and specific) components of the immune system. Inequity or failure of the immun… Show more

“…Immunostimulants work by exciting the immune system through various dynamics, such as the production of cytokines and specific antibodies, the release of α and γ interferons, and the activation of B and T lymphocytes [ 3 ]. In the early twentieth century, Coley observed a reduction in sarcoma size after injecting it with gram-positive bacteria.…”
