analgesic
What kind of drug suppresses the body's immune response?
Immunosuppressive
A patient has jus received an organ transplant which treatment would be most effective in preventing the patients body from rejecting the organ?
Treat the patient with medications that decrease the immune system's response.
A sentence using transplant?
Recipients are given immuno-suppressant drugs to prevent transplant rejection and attenuate the immune response
The immune response that is stimulated in an organ transplant is?
The immune response that is stimulated in an organ transplant is aimed at fighting any foreign materials in the body. The T cells will reproduce by mitosis so as to provide antigens.
Why is a transplant consisting of fetal tissue less likely to provoke an immune rejection response than tissue from an adult?
Why is a transplant consisting of fetal tissue less likely to provoke an immune rejection response than tissue from an adult?
Side effects of general anesthesia cyclosporine predisonole?
Effects of Cyclosporine on Anesthetic Action Vincent N. Cirella, MD, Carol B. Pantuck, BA, Young Joo Lee, MD, PhD, and Eugene J. Pantuck, MD Received from the Department of Anesthesiology, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, New York. Abstract The effects of a single dose of cyclosporine on anesthetic actions of pentobarbital and fentanyl were studied in mice. Mice given pentobarbital 2 hr after receiving cyclosporine, 60 mg/kg, slept a statistically significant 2.3 times longer than did controls. In a second study, each of two dose levels of cyclosporine was given before each of four dose levels of fentanyl. The analgesic effect of fentanyl, measured with the abdominal constriction test, was dose-dependent. Cyclosporine significantly increased the analgesia produced by fentanyl and did so in a dose-dependent manner. Cyclosporine by itself did not produce analgesia. Plasma levels of fentanyl and binding of fentanyl by plasma proteins were unchanged by cyclosporine treatment. The results show that a single dose of cyclosporine can increase pentobarbital hypnosis and fentanyl analgesia in mice but do not establish the mechanism of these interactions. Key Words: IMMUNE RESPONSE, SUPPRESSION—cyclosporine • INTERACTIONS (DRUG)—cyclosporine, anesthetics
Can white blood cells attack the body?
Yes they can. White blood cells can attack certain body tissues either as an autoimmune response or if someone has an organ transplant. That is why they give immune suppressant drugs to people who have had a transplant.
What is cycolosporine?
It`s a substance, synthesized by certain fungi, that suppresses the immune response by disabling helper T cells. T cells used to minimize rejection of foreign tissue transplants.

What hormone is produced by zona fasciculata cells?
glucocorticoidsmainly cortisol, hydrocortisone, and cortisone. This promotes fat deposition and suppresses immune response. It is regulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone that is secreted by the adenohypophysis of the pituitary gland.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zona_fasciculata
