The functional changes of pancreatic islets, left ventricle, glomerulus and bladder micturition were assessed by means of insulin tolerance tests, echocardiography, urine biochemical indexes and cystometry.
Endogenous presentation of OVA in the lymph node was an effective means of inducing tolerance in naïve OT-I CD8+ T cells.
Apparently, exposure to (traces of) foods during the 'window' period of 4 6 months of age may serve as a means of inducing tolerance [ 29].
Other experiments show that for either weak binding or tight binding epitopes, altered or competing ligands are a means of achieving tolerance.
The aim of allogeneic HSCT is to replace host autoaggressive immune effector cells with donor-derived nonautoaggressive cells as a means of inducing tolerance and sustained remission of AD.
Bi-directional signalling between Treg cells and tolerogenic DCs may be one means of infectious tolerance, since Treg cells can condition DCs to express IDO and thereby exert a suppressive influence over neighbouring T-cells (Grohmann et al., 2002; Munn et al., 2002).
Consequently, simple formulas have been developed and are presented as possibly viable means for tolerance design and characterization of cracked laminated composite shell structures under internal pressure.
While Indonesia has made great strides in consolidating a stable, democratic government after five decades of authoritarian rule, the country is by no means a bastion of tolerance.
The quantitative differences that we have measured between the M and S forms concern mainly the shape and the variance, more than the mean, of the tolerance response.
