Monitoring immune cell activity — including phenotyping immune cell subsets, tracking cell proliferation, and
measuring cytokine production — can provide insights into the overall status of immune function in patients, particularly those undergoing immunosuppression after transplants, enduring cancer treatment, or suffering from autoimmune disease or other pathologies that affect the immune system.
Although it has been suggested that resveratrol has anti-inflammatory properties, in this study resveratrol did not suppress autoimmune responses as
measured by levels of MOG35 -55-specific lymphoproliferative responses and pro-inflammatory
cytokine production.
