Immunosuppression is crucial in treating autoimmune diseases, inflammation, and preventing organ transplant rejection. Immunostimulation, often misconstrued as 'immune boosting,' is scientifically practiced through vaccination, which trains the immune system to fight infections without causing disease. The text delves into the immune system's role in tumor surveillance and the challenges of cancer immunotherapy. It also discusses the importance of assessing immunogenicity in the development of biopharmaceuticals, utilizing computational tools for safer drug design.
