Cyclosporine induced autoimmunity in newborns prevented by early immunization.

abstract：MOTIVATION:The human immune system evolved a multi-layered control mechanism to eliminate self-reactive cells. Of these so-called tolerance induction mechanisms, lymphocytes T education in the thymus gland represents the very first one. This complicated process is not fully understood and quantitative models able to he...
