Abstract

Abstract:

The immune system is the important guarantee for maintaining the health of organ function and preventing diseases. The goal of immune health management and immune treatment is to restore the normal function of the immune system. The technical problems of how to inhibit or enhance the immune status has been solved in the field of immunology, but how to comprehensively detect and quantitatively evaluate the immune status is still a challenge. There is no mature solution at present. The quantification detection and visualization evaluation of immune status are of great significance for disease prevention and control, sub-health status management, and immune treatment. This expert consensus has carried out preliminary discussions on the definition of normal immune status and the comprehensive quantitative evaluation and visual scoring techniques of immune cell function status (immune function), put forward the basic concepts and thinking related to normal immune status, discussed the direction and principles of quantitative detection and evaluation of immune cell function status, and taken this as an opportunity to promote the decoding of immunity and the study of basic and clinical trials in the field of immune health.

Key words: Immunity, Immune cell, Assessment of immunity, Immunotherapy, Health management
