description: Inflammation and immunomodulation are two major and pharmacologically important functions of the immune response. The body responds to injury through inflammation, a complex process activated to effect repairs and defend against any invading organisms. Normally, the appropriate signals deactivate inflammation after it completes these functions; however, it can continue unchecked at low levels under certain circumstances. Uncontrolled and chronic inflammation contributes to a broad spectrum of diseases including atherosclerosis, arthritis, asthma, diabetes, cancer and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases. To date, many drugs control inflammation and help decrease the susceptibility to these disease states by blocking key receptors, enzymes and other mediators of the process. Many targets of immunomodulation, which includes immunosuppression, tolerance and immunostimulation, have been identified and used to develop better agents to control unchecked immune responses. This GEArray contains all of the known drug targets involved in inflammation and immunomodulation. It is designed to allow you to systematically study the gene expression of these drug targets and their association with specific physiologic and pathologic conditions as well as their sensitivity and response to drugs.
