ÚžÂImmunostimulators are the drugs which stimulate the immune system by inducing activation or increasing activity of any of its components.
There are two main categories of immunostimulators:
- Specific immunostimulators are those which provide antigenic specificity in immune response, such as vaccines or any antigen.
- Non-specific immunostimulators are those which act irrespective of antigenic specificity to augment immune response of other antigen or stimulate components of the immune system without antigenic specificity, such as adjuvants and non-specific immunostimulators.
