## Abstract Autoimmune diseases are characterized by the loss of tolerance toward self‐antigens and the induction of destructive immune responses leading to tissue damage. Most patients with autoimmune diseases are treated with immunosuppressive drugs that suppress the immune response in a non‐spec

ral tolerance describes the observation that a state of hyporesponsiveness follows immunization with a previously fed protein. It was first described in 1911 when Wells fed hen egg proteins to guinea-pigs and found them resistant to anaphylaxis when challengedL In 1946, Chase fed guinea-pigs the con

Oral tolerance is the phenomenon of systemic, antigen specific, immunological hyporesponsiveness that results from oral administration of a protein. The mechanism by which tolerance is generated depends on the amount of antigen administered; low doses favor induction of regulatory T cells while high
