Immunological Tolerance
Grand ChallenGes The question of self–non-self discrimination, and thereby immunological tolerance, is as old as our appreciation of the receptor-diversity in the immune system. Initially negative selection of self-reactive lymphocytes by clonal deletion in primary lymphoid organs, enhanced by promiscuous expression of ectopic antigens in these organs, attracted attention. It became clear, howe...
متن کاملImmunological Tolerance
Although most mouse strain combinations succumb to a lethal wasting disease when parabiosed across a strong histocompatibility (H-2) barrier, a high proportion of DBA mice parabiosed to DBA/C3H F(1) hybrids survive and appear healthy. DBA mice accept C3H skin grafts following parabiosis, and may therefore be considered operationally tolerant of C3H antigens. Nonetheless, spleen cells from long-...
متن کاملBasement Membrane and Cell Integrity of Self-Tissues in Maintaining Drosophila Immunological Tolerance
The mechanism underlying immune system recognition of different types of pathogens has been extensively studied over the past few decades; however, the mechanism by which healthy self-tissue evades an attack by its own immune system is less well-understood. Here, we established an autoimmune model of melanotic mass formation in Drosophila by genetically disrupting the basement membrane. We foun...
متن کاملInterferon α interferes with immunological tolerance
The ability of regulatory T cells (Tregs) to promote immunological tolerance represents an important obstacle in cancer immunotherapy. We have recently discovered that the clinically established immunotherapeutic agent interferon α (IFNα) inactivates the suppressive functions of human Tregs. Here, we outline the mechanisms whereby IFNα mediates this important function and discuss its therapeuti...
متن کاملImmunological Tolerance and Enhancement
This book is part of a series called Fundamental and Clinical Aspects of Internal Medicine, a series of volumes for a postgraduate course. Short chapters cover the subjects of cytogenetics, mendelian genetics, genetic markers, multifactorial inheritance, biochemical genetics, genetics of cancer, and treatment of genetic disease. It attempts to be a fairly comprehensive resource for clinicians w...
