title: Mechanism of immune stimulation and tolerance based on an hypothesis on the cell division mechanism directed by the cell membrane.
abstract: The binding of the antigen to membrane receptors is suggested to modify the structure of the membrane and consequently the activity of some of its enzymes and the flow of metabolites. The nature of the effects may be a function of the quantity of the interacting antigen.
