Immunosuppressive therapy in
renal transplantation
31 October , 2021
Introduction
 Immunomodulation is the process of change in
immune system either suppression or stimulation
Immunosuppression needed in:
 Organ transplantation
 Autoimmune diseases
Immune stimulation
 Endogenous immunomodulation
interleukins(IL), interferons (IFN), tumor necrosis
factors (TNF), transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-
ß), colony stimulating factors(CSF), immunoglobulins
 Exogenous immunomodulation
levamisole, vaccine
Role of cytokines in the immune response
activation and immunomodulation
 Cytokines participate in many physiological
processes including the regulation of immune and
inflammatory responses.
 These effector molecules are produced transiently
and locally and control the amplitude and duration
of the response.
 The research outcomes have shown that suboptimal
production of these informational molecules may
significantly contribute to the pathophysiology of
various diseases
Role of cytokines in the immune response
activation and immunomodulation
 the cytokines released by CD4+ T cells at the onset of
an immune response are decisive for pathological or
physiological consequences. IL-1, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10,
IL-12, TNF-alpha and IFN-alpha, -beta, -gamma,
etc., are known to contribute to the pathophysiology
of autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, and
allograft rejection
Pro-inflammatory cytokines
 An inflammatory or pro-inflammatory cytokine is a
type of signaling molecule that is excreted by the
cells of immune cells such as helper T cells (Th) and
macrophages, and some other cell types which are
known to promote inflammation as a defense
mechanism.
Pro-inflammatory cytokines
 The interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-12, and IL-18, tumor
necrosis factor (TNF), interferon gamma (IFN-γ),
and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating
(GM-CSF) factor and play an important role in
mediating and regulating the nonadaptive immune
response.
Anti-inflammatory cytokines
 The anti-inflammatory cytokines are a series of
immunoregulatory molecules that control pro-
inflammatory cytokines, production and their response.
The cytokines act in concert with specific cytokine
inhibitors and soluble cytokine receptors with an objective
to regulate the human immune response. Their physiologic
role in provoking inflammatory responses and pathologic
role in systemic inflammatory states are increasingly
recognized.
extract of infectious respiratory
bacteria
immunoactive Escherichia coli
( E. coli) fractions
 OM-85 BV has ciliostimulatory
and immunogenic properties
that may be partially responsible
for its observed efficacy as a
respiratory therapeutic.
 The incidence of bacteriuria
(germs > or = 10(5)/ml),
dysuria and leukocyturia was
significantly reduced
Oral immunostimulant in recurrent infection
Introduction
 Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice in
selected cases of renal failure.
 Maintenance immunosuppressive drugs is crucial for
graft survival.
 Patient adherence to immunosuppressive drugs is
one of predictor for long lasting graft.
