Extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP) is considered as an immune modulating therapy majorly targeting the T cells of the Immune system. ECP induces an anti-inflammatory condition with tolerogenic responses without inducing a global immunosuppression state which is a typical feature of other therapeutic options such as steroids. Clinical indication of ECP has grown over time since its initial applications. Our review discusses the technical aspects of the concept of photopheresis with the available methods for its clinical applications.
体外光化学疗法(ECP)被认为是一种主要针对免疫系统T细胞的免疫调节疗法。ECP可诱导具有耐受性反应的抗炎状态,而不会诱导出如类固醇等其他治疗选择所具有的典型特征——全身性免疫抑制状态。自最初应用以来,ECP的临床适应症一直在增加。我们的综述讨论了光分离置换法概念的技术方面及其临床应用的可用方法。
