Microbial, Parasitic and Fungal Immunology

Immunology is nothing but the learning of the immune system and is maximum important branch of the medical and biological sciences. The immune system supports us to guard us from infection through numerous lines of defence. If the immune system is not operative as it should, it can result in disease, such as autoimmunity, allergy and cancer. It has now become clear that immune reactions donate to the evolution of several mutual conditions not traditionally viewed as immunologic, including metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative situations such as Alzhei.

Non-specific Immunotherapies


Microbial Immunology expects studies examining responses to any microbial agent, including viruses, bacteria and parasites. The Microbiology, Microbial Pathogenesis and Immunology concentrate on the study of host-pathogen interactions at the molecular and cellular levels.

Most parasites, by the nature of their continuous contact with the immune system, generate a prolific immune response. Unfortunately, much of this response is not protective, and some is harmful. Protective immunity in some infections is due to a combination of humoral and cellular immunity; in this circumstance parasites are coated with antibody which makes them susceptible to direct cytotoxicity by macrophages, eosinophil’s, and neutrophils. Antibody alone is protective against some other infections. Nonspecific and genetic factors are clearly important but are still undefined participants in the host response. The immune response may be pathogenic by inducing hypersensitivity, immunologically mediated fibrosis, or circulating immune complexes. Additionally, Parasites have evolved unique ways of protecting themselves from the immune system, including altering their antigenic coat and inducing immunosuppression. Attempts to isolate "host-protective" antigens in parasitic infections may lead to effective vaccine development.

The treatment that uses certain parts of a person’s immune system to fight diseases such as cancer is known as Immunotherapy.

Certain types of immunotherapy also sometimes called biologic therapy or biotherapy. From last few decades immunotherapy also has become a major role of treating particular forms of cancer. Innovative types of immune treatments are now being studied, and they’ll influence in what way we can treat cancer in the upcoming days. Immunotherapy Consists treatments that functions in various ways. Some boost the body’s immune system in a very common way. Monoclonal Antibodies, Immune checkpoint inhibitors, Cancer Vaccines.
