Abstract
Biological response modifiers are modified (poly) peptides from living organisms designed to modulate a specific biologic process. Biotechnology has led to the rapid development of recombinant drugs for treatment of many immunoinflammatory diseases. In this article, we briefly describe the main types of these therapeutic proteins, their mechanisms of action and side-effects.
