Combination Therapies with Cytokines and Anti-Cytokines in Murine Opportunistic Infections

  • Chapter

Abstract

Systemic administration of purified recombinant cytokines has been performed in various animal models and clinical trials for the treatment of neoplasia, infectious disease, hemapoietic failure and immunosuppression. In particular, in infectious disease, cytokines have radically changed our understanding of the mechanisms of resistance, and have also provided new clues to the elucidation of the mechanisms of both resistance and pathology, such that the use of cytokines or anti-cytokines appears to be extremely promising for treatment of conditions associated with microbial infection.
