Immunopharmacology: Therapeutic Modulation of the Immune System in Health and Disease

A comprehensive review of pharmacological agents that modulate immune function is presented, encompassing immunosuppressants, immune checkpoint inhibitors, biologics targeting cytokines and interleukins, and emerging immunostimulatory therapies. This chapter explores the pharmacological underpinnings of immune dysregulation in autoimmune disease, transplantation, malignancy, and chronic inflammation, with emphasis on translational applications.
