Abstract
The human immune system is equipped with the ability to fight against invading pathogens. It has been an exciting area to target this ability of the immune system for improving human health. Recent technological advances have greatly accelerated the research toward the development of targeted therapeutics. The steadfast progress for the development of immunotherapies has paved the way for better understanding and fine-tuning of the immune system for fighting against different diseases. Considering the important role of T-cells in driving immunological responses, their differentiation and functional subsets immunotherapies are designed with an aim to release the brakes on the immune system. Immunotherapy uses a wide variety of immunomodulators that augment immune responses using various strategies ranging from altering the cultured cells to monoclonal antibodies and autologous immune enhancement therapies. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive outlook on the pre-clinical and clinical findings for the development of different immunotherapeutic approaches for the management of different diseases. � 2023 Apple Academic Press, Inc.
