Immuno-therapy
1. Antibodies: TAT (tetanus antitoxin)
2. Cytokines and their receptors
1) Cytokines : IL-2 , IFN , IL-3 , Erythropoietin ( EP
O ), GSF ,
3. Immune cell preparations and immune modifiers
1 ) Adoptive immunotherapy : LAK , TIL , NK
2) Anti-metabolic drugs
3) Antibiotics : Cyclosporin A
Immunotechnology
I. Antibodies as research and diagnostic tools
. Serological reactions:
Precipitation: Soluble antigen + Ab
Agglutination: antigenic particles + Ab in serum
Complements fixation
Artificial passive ag or ab particles :
Passive agglutination & reverse passive agglutination
Gel agglutination
Staphylococcus associated agglutination
Immuno-diffusion : radial immunodiffusion & conunter
Immuno-electrophoresis: Rocket & counter
