  5. EXAMPLES OF activation immunotherapies • Cancer immunotherapyattempts to stimulate theimmune systemto reject and destroy tumors

  6. Examples of activation immunotherapies • Cancer • Autologous Immune Enhancement Therapy (AIET) • Dendritic cell based immunotherapy • T cell based adoptive immunotherapy • Vaccination

  7. Examples of suppression immunotherapies • Immune tolerance • Allergies
