    Immunologic changes are a component of the pathophysiology of severe burns. The effect of the burn toxin can be reduced by immunologic mechanism. The antigen elimination by immunologic defense mechanism additionally to the necrectomy was discussed. A significant therapeutic effect after standardised burn in the animal mouse model showed the application of heterologous antibodies against the burn antigen and the specific immunostimulation. The antibody titre and the number of lymphocytes which bind burn toxin were investigated. The animal experimental results show the real chances of the antigen elimination by passive immunisation respectively immunostimulation. Immunosuppressive influence by therapeutic measures must be avoided.

    Burn Injuries

    Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
    The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

    Tumor Immunotherapy

    Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.
