Tissue-based class control: the other side of tolerance

Matzinger, Polly, Kamala, Tirumalai·2011·Nature Reviews Immunology

Abstract

In this Essay, we offer a new perspective on how immune responses are regulated. We do not cover how they are turned on and off, but focus instead on the second major aspect of an immune response: the control of effector class. Although it is generally thought that the class of an immune response is tailored to fit the invading pathogen, we suggest here that it is primarily tailored to fit the tissue in which the response occurs. To this end, we cover such topics as the nature of T helper (TH) cell subsets (current and yet to be discovered), the nature of privileged sites, the difference between oral tolerance and oral vaccination, why the route of immunization matters, whether the TH1-type response is really the immune system's primary defense, and whether there might be a different role for some regulatory T cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
