INTRODUCTION
Immunotherapy is a treatment that modulates the immune system aims. It allows the body to defend itself by bringing together very different therapeutic approaches. Indeed, it uses immunological reagents brought from outside, it mobilizes resources and strengthens the patient's immune system. New approaches to the treatment antibody can target certain diseases both in vivo and in vitro.
This technique takes an ever more important in the treatment of cancer alongside conventional treatment tripod that is surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
There are two types of essential immunotherapies: Active and passive. Indeed, our immune system has weapons to destroy cancer cells. However, these weapons do not always work, either because the immune system is weakened, either because the tumor is enough "hidden" so as not to be detected.
