Pharmacodynamics

Immunomax increases immunity properties with respect to bacterial and viral infectious processes. Immunopharmacological mechanisms of drug exposure are manifested by activation of the following links of immunity:

• NK cells, intensely expressing molecules that activate CD69 (the reaction occurs 2-3 hours after using the drug). The cytolytic activity of these cells triples;
• the isolation of cytokines (IL-8, as well as IL-1β, and with them tumor necrosis factor) by circulating monocytes begins 2-4 hours after the activation of the drug;
• activation of neutrophils occurs with the help of monocytes, the drug does not directly affect the neutrophils. IL-8, which is released by monocytes, activates the activity of neutrophils, which becomes noticeable after 24 hours after using the powder;
• change in the morphology of macrophages located in the tissues, increased production of bactericidal elements, changes in the activity activity of 5'-nucleotidases;
• the formation of antibodies against foreign antigens that have appeared in the body (both corpuscular and soluble).

The drug increases the body's protective function in relation to infectious processes provoked by viruses (human papillomavirus, parvovirus, herpes simplex virus, and in addition Carr's disease, etc.) or bacteria (salmonella, chlamydia, and E. Coli, ureaplasma, staphylococcus, etc.).
