Substances, either natural or synthesized, that boost, direct, or restore normal immune defenses. BRMs include interferons, interleukins, thymus, hormones, and monoclonal antibodies.
mostly polypeptides used to regulate various components of the immune response.
Substances such as the interferons and the interleukins that modify immune responses.
These are natural body substances that can now be made in the laboratory in larger than natural amounts. They are then used as drugs to fight cancer, or stimulate the immune system. Some are also called cytokines. They include colony stimulating factors (CSFs), erythropoietin (EPO), interferon, interleukins (ILs) and tumour necrosis factor (TNF).
(by-o-LAHJ-i-kul) BRMs. Substances that stimulate the body's response to infection and disease.
Substances which the body naturally produces in small amounts that stimulate the body's response to infection and disease. Also called BRMs. Some BRMs are being synthetically produced in laboratories in larger amounts for use in cancer treatments.
Drugs used in cancer treatment that affect the patientâ€(tm)s own immune or defense system, e.g., Interferon, Interleukins, and Growth Factors.
any agent that boosts the body's immune system, to fight cancer.
A new class of compounds produced in the body, such as interferon, that fight cancer by stimulating the body's immune system.
Another name for immunotherapy.
BRMS Natural and man-made substances that help control the immune system in its fight against cancer.
Natural or man-made substances that boost or restore normal immune defenses.
A new class of compounds produced in the body that fight cancer by stimulating the body's immune system. Interferon is an example.
Protein molecules, such as interferon and interleulcin-2 used in treating cancer.
Treatment to stimulate or restore the ability of the immune system to fight infections and other diseases. Also used to lessen certain side effects that may be caused by cancer treatment. Also called immunotherapy, biotherapy, or biological therapy.
any agent that boosts the body's immune system by stimulating it, modifying it, or restoring it.
Substances that stimulate the body's response to infection and disease. The body naturally produces small amounts of these substances. Scientists can produce some of them in the laboratory in large amounts for use in treating cancer , rheumatoid arthritis , and other diseases. See the entire definition of Biological response modifiers
Proteins that modify or enhance an immune or other biological response.
Natural substances like interferon that are sometimes used to treat advanced melanomas
Substances that stimulate the body's response to infection and disease. The body naturally produces small amounts of these substances. Scientists can produce some of them in the laboratory in large amounts and use them in cancer treatment. Also called BRMs.
Biological response modifers, also known as BRM's, are substances that the human body produces naturally, as well as something that scientists can create in a lab. These substances arouse the body's response to an infection. Some of these are used to treat arthritis, cancer, and some other diseases.
