Limb regeneration in amphibians: immunological considerations.
We review key aspects of what is known about limb regeneration in urodele and anuran amphibians, with a focus on the early events of the process that lead to formation of the regeneration blastema. This includes the role of the nerves and wound epithelium, but also covers the inflammatory effects of the amputation trauma and their importance for regenerative growth. We propose that immunotolera...
متن کاملImmunological 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 کاملImmunological Tolerance in Organ Transplantation
A formidable array of practical problems must be solved at laboratory level before tolerance induction in organ transplantation can be considered a realistic clinical possibility. I believe it is too early for even tentative human experimentation in this field. However, the work of the last decade has shown unequivocally that even adult animals can readily be rendered tolerant of even exceeding...
متن کاملPesticide tolerance in amphibians: induced tolerance in susceptible populations, constitutive tolerance in tolerant populations
The role of plasticity in shaping adaptations is important to understanding the expression of traits within individuals and the evolution of populations. With increasing human impacts on the environment, one challenge is to consider how plasticity shapes responses to anthropogenic stressors such as contaminants. To our knowledge, only one study (using mosquitoes) has considered the possibility ...
