Understanding Immunotherapy for Autoimmune Diseases
Introduction
Immunotherapy, a groundbreaking approach primarily recognized for cancer therapy immunotherapy, is now making significant strides in treating autoimmune diseases. This article delves into how immunotherapy is applied beyond cancer immunology immunotherapy to manage and treat autoimmune conditions.
The Mechanism of Immunotherapy in Autoimmune Diseases
Immunotherapy works by modulating the immune system, enhancing its ability to fight diseases. Unlike in immunotherapy cancer treatment, where the goal is to target and destroy cancer cells, in autoimmune diseases, the therapy aims to recalibrate the immune system to stop attacking the body's tissues.
Types of Immunotherapy for Autoimmune Diseases
There are various types of immunotherapy used to treat autoimmune diseases. These include monoclonal antibodies, cytokine inhibitors, and immune checkpoint inhibitors, each designed to alter specific immune system pathways. While some of these therapies overlap with those used in cancer treatment, their application in autoimmune diseases focuses on immune regulation and suppression of overactive immune responses.
Immunotherapy Medications and Treatments
Immunotherapy medications for autoimmune diseases are tailored to reduce inflammation and curb the immune system's erroneous attacks on healthy cells. The precise medication or combination of therapies depends on the specific autoimmune condition being treated, highlighting the personalized nature of immunotherapy.
The Role of Immunotherapy and Vaccines
Exploring the intersection of immunotherapy and vaccines reveals potential for preventative strategies in autoimmune diseases. Vaccines designed to induce tolerance in the immune system are under research, potentially preventing autoimmune diseases from developing or worsening.
Managing Side Effects and Costs
While immunotherapy offers new hope, it's crucial to consider immunotherapy side effects and immunotherapy cost. Side effects vary widely, from mild to severe, and must be carefully managed under medical supervision. The cost can also be significant, necessitating a discussion about healthcare resources and insurance coverage.
Conclusion
Immunotherapy for autoimmune diseases represents a promising frontier in medical treatment, offering hope for millions suffering from these conditions. As research progresses, it could redefine the therapeutic landscape for autoimmune diseases, much like it has for cancer.

Information About Monoclonal Antibodies: Production And Treatment
Various diseases have been revolutionized by monoclonal antibody treatment; this type of therapy is precise in targeting particular areas. They are important in contemporary medicine since they resemble the body’s immune system in its fight against dangerous germs that could otherwise harm it. Let us explore the details involved in monoclonal antibodies. Read more: https://purmabiologics.blogspot.com/2024/08/information-about-monoclonal-antibodies.html

SOURCES: WHAT IS OXIDATIVE STRESS?
Oxidative stress happens from an imbalance between free radicals and the body’s ability to counter them. We are constantly exposed to its sources like air pollution, cigarette smoke, radiation, and ozone exposure. Poor lifestyle habits like physical inactivity, excessive alcohol, and chronic stress also contribute.
If this goes unchecked, it can cause substantial cell damage and is implicated in insulin resistance, neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer development. Our bodies have natural defences like antioxidant enzymes and nutrients that neutralise free radicals. But when pro-oxidant forces become too strong, it overwhelms the body’s normal process.
ANTIOXIDANT DEFENSES AGAINST OXIDATIVE STRESS
To counter this, our bodies have antioxidant systems that all work together. Key antioxidant micronutrients are vitamins A, C, E and plant compounds like polyphenols. Glutathione is the most abundant endogenous antioxidant. It works with enzymes like superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase to eliminate free radicals.
When our natural antioxidant capacities are exceeded, this phenomenon leads to lipid, protein, and DNA damage. This drives the pathogenesis of chronic diseases. Research shows our microbiome may strengthen antioxidant defences in various ways.

Monoclonal Antibodies
So I listened to a talk from a drug rep the other day who came into the clinic to promote Cytopoint, the anti-allergy injection for dogs.
It’s a great drug, overall. Super useful for many, literally life changing for a few, and now a mainstay of the allergy treatments we offer. But I had to laugh at something the rep said:
“It’s not really a drug. It’s a bio-mimicry molecule! It’s replicating normal molecules that would be found in the body and just providing more of them!”
And I’m sitting here thinking: that is still totally a drug. A drug is any substance which when given to a living organism produces a physiological effect. 10mg of lokivetmab is most definitely a drug.
But if you are going to argue that Cytopoint is not a drug because it mimics a natural molecule found in the body, then by that logic neither are insulin, thyroxine, cortisone or just about every single hormone.
For goodness sake. I have to wonder what planet marketers live on some days.
We also had a bit of a debate because we’re widely told that Cytopoint shouldn’t have any side effects. Partly this is because monoclonal antibodies aren’t well known in veterinary medicine and they haven’t been around that long.
They’re certainly much safer than the equivalent drugs in other classes, but they’re not ‘side effect free’. They’re a protein, so it’s theoretically possible to be allergic to it. Like the Kesimpta I take it seems likely that some dogs will be ‘off colour’ for a day or so. The most common side effect is being quiet the next say, so it is pretty mild for a typical dog and still worth it. But it’s not zero.
Having a headache for a day is much milder than having acute kidney failure, but I wonder if we’ll get more reports in the future of extremely sporadic weird side effects as we gain more experience with this class of medication.
Medical advancements are wonderful and exciting. But don’t let marketers do all the talking!
And remember to report side effects to the manufacturer.

why is acetaminophen bad? genuine question
It’s not bad, per se.
But for a drug that’s easily available for purchase by anyone, it has a relatively low therapeutic index (i.e. the window of safety between a drug’s minimum effective dose & its fatal dose).
If you’re using it appropriately, it’s totally fine! But many people do NOT use this drug appropriately (as demonstrated by the amount of liver failure cases attributed to Tylenol/Acetaminophen worldwide), which is why I’m baffled it’s still available OTC.
My pharmacology professor strongly believed that, had Acetaminophen been created in the last decade with our current FDA regulations, it would’ve never seen the light of day.
I’ve also seen and heard of one too many cases of pets dying from consuming Acetaminophen, and it’s left a bad taste in my mouth for OTC pain relievers and NSAIDs in general.
#Even pet NSAIDs make me uncomfy#i’m so glad monoclonal antibodies are being developed that DONT destroy the livers of our furbabies#like i said though if you’re using it right it’s FINE#i’ve just been in a hole studying for the VTNE and my brain is going 10000 mph#sorry for the long post

someone explain why that last sentence absolutely broke me
#“AI aims to make computers more brain-like while OI aims to make brain cell cultures more computer-like” 🥹🥹#i am SOBBING#biocomputing biophysics and neuroscience have my whole heart#organoids are my new fav thing after monoclonal antibodies btw#random but an OI takeover sounds way scarier than an AI takeover bc firstly the organoids would have to become sentient (TERRIFYING)#secondly they would have to become more intelligent than humans (MORE TERRIFYING)#reason why it's so much scarier is we would have essentially created lifeforms that are superior to us#and there is literally nothing we can do about it#AI? put the electricity off or pour acid on them#OI? say your prayers#i would go on but this is tags not a post#shitpost?#shitpost#idk#random#😼
