Immunotherapy in clinical medicine: historical perspective and current status

Lokesh Shahani et al. Med Clin North Am. 2012 May.

Abstract

In humans, the immune system is a complex organ system involving cells and soluble mediators whose function is, essentially, protection. However, disequilibrium in this intricate system leads to disease in itself. To modulate these responses, immunotherapy is now the primary or adjunct treatment of many diseases. In addition, immunologic tests now diagnose several diseases.
