@article{Masihi2001FightingIU, title={Fighting infection using immunomodulatory agents}, author={K. N. Masihi}, journal={Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy}, year={2001}, volume={1}, pages={641 - 653} }
The last decade has seen the emergence of immunomodulators as promising therapeutic agents in infectious diseases. A diverse array of recombinant, synthetic and natural immunomodulatory preparations for prophylaxis and treatment of various infections are available today. Some of these substances, such as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), interferons, imiquimod and bacterial-derived preparations are already licensed for use in patients. Others including IL-12, various chemokines… CONTINUE READING
