The immune tolerance network: a new paradigm for developing tolerance-inducing therapies.
@article{Rotrosen2002TheIT, title={The immune tolerance network: a new paradigm for developing tolerance-inducing therapies.}, author={Daniel Rotrosen and Jeffrey B. Matthews and Jeffrey A. Bluestone}, journal={The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology}, year={2002}, volume={110 1}, pages={ 17-23 } }
Immune tolerance therapies are designed to reprogram immune cells in a highly specific fashion to eliminate pathogenic responses while preserving protective immunity. A concept that has tantalized immunologists for decades, the development of tolerance-inducing therapies, would revolutionize the management of a wide range of chronic and often debilitating diseases by obviating the need for lifelong immunosuppressive regimens. The advances of the past decade have provided a more detailed…

The key questions that these trials will have to address are discussed, including the induction of central tolerance by establishment of mixed chimerism through hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and the inductionof “operational tolerance” through immunodeviation involving dendritic or regulatory T cells.

It is demonstrated that LIGHT is selectively expressed on immature dendritic cells (DCs) generated from human PBMCs, and engagement of LIGHT costimulates human T cell proliferation, amplifies the NF-κB signaling pathway, and preferentially induces the production of IFN-γ, but not IL-4, in the presence of an antigenic signal.
