Abstract
The photobiological destruction via direct photothermal (light alone) or indirect photodynamic (light and dye) action that have been noted to evoke a subjacent biological response. The inherently destructive nature of these approaches generates antigenic determinants that evoke a host immune response. In contrast, the use of low dose light treatments to induce a therapeutic host immune response is attributed to Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy. The utility of PBM to shore up the immune system as potent vaccine adjuvants and induce antimicrobial peptides have been reported. This presentation will highlight Photoimmunotherapy as a novel application using multiple treatments that are primarily focused on therapeutically enhancing the host immune responses.
