Advancement of biological therapy for autoimmune diseases / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Treating autoimmune diseases(AID) is a challenge for physicians.Traditionally,we use cortisone or other immune inhibitors to treat AID although we know that these kinds of drugs can cause some severe toxic action on patients if used longer.For over ten years,the biological therapy for AID,which specially targets to the pathogenesis of AID,has long been engaged in the study.These new drugs can protect the normal immune system while stopping undesirable immune reaction to the target organ.
