## Abstract Steadyโstate dendritic cells (DC) present peptideโMHC complexes to T cells in a tolerogenic manner, presumably because of deficient costimulation. However, it is clear that the path to tolerance involves initial T cell activation, suggesting that the deficit may lie in lateโacting costi
Cyclosporine, a powerful immunosuppressant, has been used successfully for organ transplantation. Its efficacy on liver transplants of patients with primary hepatic tumors remains controversial because of a high rate of recurrence of the original tumors in the transplanted livers. In this study, we

Several studies of this disease in animal models indicate that the manifestation of autoimmune diabetes can be modiยฎed by factors which inยฏuence the gut immune system.
