  5. EXAMPLES OF activation immunotherapies • Cancer immunotherapyattempts to stimulate theimmune systemto reject and destroy tumors

  6. Examples of activation immunotherapies • Cancer • Autologous Immune Enhancement Therapy (AIET) • Dendritic cell based immunotherapy • T cell based adoptive immunotherapy • Vaccination

  7. Examples of suppression immunotherapies • Immune tolerance • Allergies

  8. HELMENTHIC THERAPY,A TYPE OF IMMUNOTHERAPY,IS THE TREATMENT OF AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES AND IMMUNE DISORDER BY MEANS OF DELIBERATE INFESTATION WITH A HELMINTH OR WITH OVA OF A HELMINTH
