First sentence: It is still a key issue in immunology to understand how the immune system discriminates between self and non-self, inhibiting autoimmune responses while allowing effective immune responses to non-self antigens.
Description: By linking data on regulatory T cells from experimental models with recent findings from the clinic, this topical book will be of interest to immunologists and other biomedical researchers as well as clinicians that are interested in regulation and manipulation of the immune response during (chronic) inflammatory disease.
