  1. Immune Anti-Inhibitors Regulate Immune Responses and Keep T Cells from Attacking Other Cells in the Body Immune anti-inhibitors are a kind of cancer immunotherapy used to treat malignant melanoma. The treatment targets key regulators of your immune system, which when activated can dampen the immune defense response to an antigenic stimulus. Some cancers are able to protect themselves from attacks by suppressing immune checkpoint targets. When a tumor is suppressed the immune cells no longer attack the tumor, thereby not presenting an immunological response when it was important to do so. There are three types of immunotherapies: systemic, localized, and complementary. Systemic immunotherapy encompasses all strategies used to attack malignant tumors at the cellular level and include combination therapy and single cell genetic engineering. Locally designed immunotherapies include, interferon beta, lasers, drugs, and combinations of these. Complementary immunotherapy is used to enhance the immune defense of normal cells and tissues against biological agents. The most commonly utilized complementary strategies include: Beta interferon, Docevax, Fosamax, and Mycophenolate. Major pharmaceutical companies are focused on R&D in immunotherapy. In February 2021, 4D pharma plc, a pharmaceutical company, announced a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Merck KGaA, Germany and Pfizer Inc. for BAVENCIO (avelumab), the first and only immunotherapy approved as a first-line maintenance treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Immune anti-inhibitors reduce the activity of the immune defense system's T cells, which in turn can reduce the proliferation of tumors. T cells normally perform a specific task to defend the body from infections. With immunotherapy, when T cells are not needed for the protection of the body, they stop multiplying. This leads to a drop in tumor growth. Biological Response Modifiers or BMRs are immune anti-inhibitor drugs that are in the form of capsules, pills, and sprays. These drugs work by interfering with the function of the biological response pathways, which control the immune cells' proliferation. The checkpoint inhibitors thus

For this purpose, the inhibitors also regulate the activities of other immune cells such as eukaryotic and pro- inflammatory immunity cells.
