Abstract

The entity and concept of immune therapy against chronic infections and cancers is still elusive. Credible preclinical studies and clinical trials are scare in this field due to improper understating about cellular and molecular mechanism of these diseases. In addition, immune interventional strategies against these diseases have not been properly formulated. A sketch about immune pathogenesis of these diseases and interventional strategies has been formulated in this communication.
