Immune Exhaustion
Functional impairment of effector cells due to chronic stimulation
without proper regulation [207, 208]
Mapping these patterns with the Lymphocyte MAP™ enables
earlier and more targeted interventions addressing the specific
immune dysfunctions underlying clinical presentations [209, 210].
Therapeutic Approaches Based on Lymphocyte MAP™ Results
The detailed immune profiling provided by the Lymphocyte
MAP™ enables personalized therapeutic strategies targeting
specific immune imbalances:
Balancing TH1/TH2 Responses
Interventions can be tailored to address specific T helper
imbalances [211, 212]:
TH1 Modulation
For excessive TH1 activity: curcumin, resveratrol, vitamin D, specific
probiotics, and omega-3 fatty acids [213, 214]
TH2 Modulation
For excessive TH2 activity: quercetin, vitamin D, zinc, specific
probiotics strains, and perilla seed extract [215, 216]
Balanced Immune Support
For generalized support: adaptogenic herbs, medicinal
mushrooms, vitamin C, and zinc [217, 218]
Enhancing NK Cell Function
Specific approaches can support natural killer cell activity [219,
220]:
