Immunopotentiation therapies: This includes administration of immunopotentiating agents like preformed antibodies, or interferons (a-INF in Kaposi sarcoma). This strategy augments the immune response.
Immunosuppressive therapies: When the patient's immune system becomes activated against his or her own body, in situations such as autoimmune diseases, the response is suppressed by steroids, cyclosporin. In this type of inhibitors of cell division, cytokine production, etc. are included.

immunosuppressive therapy .
Treatment that lowers the activity of the body’s immune system. This reduces its ability to fight infections and other diseases, such as cancer. Immunosuppressive therapy may be used to keep a person from rejecting a bone marrow or organ transplant. It may also be used to treat conditions in which the immune system is overactive, such as autoimmune diseases and allergies. Some types of immunosuppressive therapy may increase a person’s risk of cancer by lowering the body’s ability to kill cancer cells.
immunopotentiation therapies.
Immunopotentiation can be defined as a process that directly enhances one or more specific immune functions, or modifies one or more components of the complex immunoregulatory network to achieve its effects through indirect mechanisms.
