01
Overview
An immune-modulating agent (immunomodulator) is a general substance or drug that alters the immune system's activity, by either stimulating or suppressing its response to help the body fight disease, control inflammation, or mitigate autoimmune reactions. This class includes many different drugs and biological products, ranging from corticosteroids to monoclonal antibodies, each with a unique mechanism of action, often targeting cytokines, immune cell receptors, or signaling pathways. Such agents are critical in treating cancer, autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection, and some infections, but the term itself does not specify a singular molecular structure or protein target
