The Other Side of the Coin: Anti-inflammatory Antibody Therapy for Infectious Diseases

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: -specific antibody therapy in treating disease by decreasing the inflammatory response. This effect appears to occur as a result of an enhanced phagocytic activity within the lung and an associated alteration in the macrophage phenotype. This study adds insight into our understanding of antibody activity and highlights the possibility of using antibody therapy to limit inflammation for other infectious diseases in which inflammatory damage plays a significant role in disease pathogenesis.
