Inflammatory bowel disease and cancer response due to anti-CTLA-4: is it in the flora?

abstract：:The conventional perception asserts that immunology is the science of 'discrimination' between self and non-self. This concept is however no longer tenable as effector cells of the adaptive immune system are first conditioned to be tolerant to the body's own antigens, collectively known as self until now. Only then at...
