title: Brushing up on immunological tolerance. Immunologic Tolerance for Immune System Mediated Diseases, Bethesda, MD, USA, 8 December 1997.
abstract: While nonspecific immunosuppressive agents have had major impact both on autoimmune disease and transplantation, the development of specific immunological tolerance holds great promise for the future. Studies of tolerance thus have both theoretical and practical implications for biology and medicine.
