The field of biologic immune-modulators is currently mushrooming at a dizzying pace. While most of these biologics are tested and approved for one or a few indications, their un-anticipated side effects and their off-label use have contributed significantly to our understanding of basic immune mechanisms, of the involvement of cytokines in several apparently non-immunologic diseases, and of the importance of compartmentalized immune responses. In this review, we attempt to give a bird's-eye view of the major biologics and to highlight insights and implications derived from their secondary effects and adverse reactions.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 December 2019.
All research outputs
#6,615,312
of 34,372,222 outputs
Outputs from The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology
#5,901
of 14,535 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#83,617
of 352,345 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology
#109
of 235 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,372,222 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,535 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 18.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 352,345 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 235 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
