Abstract
Autoimmune disease is increasing widely, and the biologicals in autoimmune disease play a vital role in the cure. Biologicals have an affinity to bind the specific target molecule and suppress inflammation. The different biologicals are used to treat various autoimmune diseases by preventing the cytokines from unlocking cells and causing inflammation. Each biologic targets a different cytokine. The common classes of biologic that are used to treat autoimmune disease are i) Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNFα) inhibitors and ii) Interleukin Inhibitors (IL). Along with biologics, nanomedicine has shown to be a successful method for creating customized nanomaterials with the potential to deliver medicinal agents to particular organs or tissues drugs without causing immunosuppressive or immunostimulatory adverse effects. This article reviews biologics used in treating Autoimmune Disease (AD) and the mechanism involved. The examination of current developments that have been made to create innovative nanoparticle-based therapies for autoimmune illnesses and their inclusion in vaccines. Also, recent clinical trials display nanosystem strategies for treating AD.
