Serotherapy

Serotherapy, also known as immunotherapy, involves treating diseases—particularly infections and allergies—by using natural or modified antibodies from immune serum. These antibodies are proteins that recognize and neutralize specific pathogens or allergens. The therapy works by boosting or mimicking the body's immune response, providing immediate, targeted defense. It is commonly used for conditions like rabies, tetanus, and certain allergic reactions, where passive immunity is needed quickly. Overall, serotherapy harnesses the body's immune components to help fight illnesses more effectively.
