Immunostimulant

Molecular classification
Drug, Nutrient, Hormone, Cytokine, Adjuvant, Bacterial lysate
01

Overview

Immunostimulants are substances that stimulate the immune system, typically in a non-specific manner. They work by inducing activation or increasing the activity of various components of the immune system to enhance the body's immune response. Examples include drugs, nutrients, and other agents that target Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) or directly stimulate immune cells.
