Dear friends we are happy to present you new article by : Therapeutic Monoclonal Antibodies for the Treatment of COPD (article from last issue of Drugs journal)!
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disorder characterized
by a complex chronic inflammatory response that is largely poorly
responsive to treatment with corticosteroids. Consequently, there is a
huge need to find effective anti-inflammatory agents for the treatment
of patients with this disease. Inhibition of cytokines and chemokines or
their receptors using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) could be a potential
strategy to treat the inflammatory component of COPD. In this article,
we review the therapeutic potential of some of these mAbs; however, to
date there has been little or no therapeutic effect of any mAb directed
against cytokines or chemokines in patients with COPD. This may reflect
the complexity of COPD in which there is no dominant role for any single
cytokine or chemokine. It is also likely that since the umbrella term
COPD covers many endotypes having different underlying mechanisms, mAbs
directed towards specific cytokines or chemokines should be tested in
restricted and focused populations.

can anyone who has used antibodie treatment foe COPD tell me of the results
ReplyDeleteI'm 59 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of months ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 59 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of total cure herbal foundation my husband bought, totalcureherbsfoundation .c om has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and cure you totally with their natural organic herbs. I wish anybody who starts smoking at a young age would realize what will eventually happen to their bodies if they continue that vile habit throughout their life.
