Immunological Tolerance: Therapeutic Induction
Immunological tolerance can be defined as an unresponsiveness of T and/or B cells to self antigens. Low responsiveness of T cells and/or B cells to self antigens could be termed partial tolerance. Protection from the development of autoimmune diseases and acceptance of transplanted organs or tissue are due to effective tolerance to self antigens and alloantigens, respectively. The breakdown of ...
متن کاملInduction as a Search Procedure
This chapter introduces Inductive Logic Programming from the perspective of search algorithms in Computer Science. It first briefly considers the Version Spaces approach to induction, and then focuses on Inductive Logic Programming: from its formal definition and main techniques and strategies, to priors used to restrict the search space and optimized sequential, parallel, and stochastic algori...
متن کاملMechanisms of immunological tolerance to the antigens of the central nervous system. Skin-induced tolerance as a new therapeutic concept.
The immune system is designed to recognize and eliminate foreign (non-self) antigens. At the same time, there are mechanisms protecting the organism from development of inappropriate immune responses that are harmful to ones own body (allergy, autoimmunity) and those that help to silence the inflammatory responses and allow their resolution. Tolerance to self-antigens is a result of central tol...
متن کاملInduction of Immunological Tolerance to Tissue Allografts with Antilymphocyte Serum*
At the present time successful clinical organ transplantation depends on chronic administration of immunosuppressive agents to prevent the persistent tendency of the recipient to reject the graft. Chronic immunosuppressionalthough often successful in maintaining graft function and viability-is frequently associated with numerous and often fatal complications. These associated problems include: ...
متن کاملRetroviral and Lentiviral Vectors for the Induction of Immunological Tolerance
Retroviral and lentiviral vectors have proven to be particularly efficient systems to deliver genes of interest into target cells, either in vivo or in cell cultures. ey have been used for some time for gene therapy and the development of gene vaccines. Recently retroviral and lentiviral vectors have been used to generate tolerogenic dendritic cells, key professional antigen presenting cells t...
