The role of biological products in medicine mainly includes prevention of disease, treatment of disease, diagnosis of disease and immune regulation.
Biological products refer to drugs prepared by applying biological materials such as microorganisms, cells, tissues and liquids of various animal and human sources obtained by biotechnology, and are used for the prevention, treatment and diagnosis of human diseases. Unlike general medical drugs, they work mainly by stimulating the body's immune system to produce immune substances (such as antibodies), which cause humoral, cellular or cell-mediated immune responses in the human body.
Prevention of diseases: preventive products in biological products, such as various vaccines, can accurately resist the attack of various infectious diseases by activating the immune system and producing immune hormones, active substances, special antibodies, etc.
Treatment of diseases: therapeutic biological products, such as interferon, human albumin, intravenous immunoglobulin, etc., play a role by increasing blood volume, maintaining colloid balance, specific binding antigen, immune regulation, cell proliferation and so on.
Diagnostic diseases: Diagnostic biological products, such as diagnostic kits used to check hepatitis B, blood type, HIV, etc., play an important role in disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment testing, and prognosis observation.
Immunoregulation: Biological products can cause the body to produce specific automatic immunity or transfer specific passive immunity or specific immune information to the body for preventive or therapeutic purposes, or to detect unknown antibodies or antigens with known specific antigens or antibodies to determine the cause.
In addition, biological products also have anti-inflammatory, anti-infection, anti-autoimmune, anti-shock and anti-tumor effects, and need to be used rationally under the guidance of doctors to avoid adverse reactions that may be caused by blind medication.
