Immunopathology Miscellaneous Deck Flashcards
Agents that have the capacity for both positive and negative actions.
Immunomodulator
Agents that stimulate the immune response.
Immunestimulant
Substances which have the ability to attenuate the immune response
Immunosuppressants.
Colony-stimulating factors, Interleukins, Interferons, MDP, Potent Immunopharmacology
