There are several different types of immune stimulation therapy, including:
- Immunotherapy: This is a type of treatment that uses drugs or other substances to stimulate the immune system to target and destroy cancer cells. There are several different types of immunotherapy, including checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cell therapy, and cancer vaccines.
- Cytokine therapy: Cytokines are proteins that are produced by the body's immune system to help regulate inflammation and immune responses. Cytokine therapy involves administering cytokines directly into the body to stimulate the immune system to attack cancer cells or fight off infections.
- Interferon therapy: Interferons are proteins that are naturally produced by the body in response to viral infections. Interferon therapy involves administering interferons to stimulate the immune system to fight off viral infections or certain types of cancer.
- Immunoglobulin therapy: Immunoglobulins are proteins that are naturally produced by the body's immune system to help fight off infections. Immunoglobulin therapy involves administering additional immunoglobulins to help boost the immune system and fight off infections.
While immune stimulation therapy can be effective in treating certain types of diseases, it can also have side effects, including flu-like symptoms, fatigue, and nausea. Patients should always consult with a qualified healthcare provider before considering any type of immune stimulation therapy.
