Conditioned immune responses and pharmacotherapy.
Data on the conditioned modulation of immune responses are briefly reviewed, and the successful application of conditioning operations to the pharmacotherapy of autoimmune disease in lupus-prone mice is described. These data provide the background for a discussion of the role of conditioning in pharmacotherapy and an experimental analysis of the "placebo effect" as a conditioned response.
