TLDR
Evidence is presented that T cells can exert specific feedback control of autoantibody formation and relaxation of T-cell control in ageing humans and experimental animals may be an important contributory factor in the development of autoimmunity.

Organ-specific autoimmune diseases induced in mice by elimination of T cell subset. I. Evidence for the active participation of T cells in natural self-tolerance; deficit of a T cell subset as a possible cause of autoimmune disease

TL;DR: The autoimmune disease induced in nude mice was quite similar to human organ-specific autoimmune disease in terms of the spectrum of organs involved, histopathological features, and the development of autoantibodies to corresponding organ components.
Journal ArticleDOI

Angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathy. Diagnosis and clinical course.

TL;DR: The clinical, laboratory and pathologic manifestations of AILD are consistent with an autoimmune disorder, in which a deficiency of the T-cell regulatory functions probably predisposes to an abnormal proliferative and autoaggressive reaction of the B-cell system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Graft-versus-host reactions: clues to the etiopathology of a spectrum of immunological diseases

TL;DR: The pathogenesis of parental strain T lymphocytes injected into adult F, mice respond to allogeneic MHC antigens and so induce the symptoms of systemic graft v. host disease (GVHD).
Journal ArticleDOI

The spectrum of diseases associated with thymoma. Coincidence or syndrome

TL;DR: Findings merit consideration of thymoma together with certain diseases as a syndrome rather than as a spectrum of coincidental diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence of suppressor cell activity in spleens of mice bearing primary tumors induced by moloney sarcoma virus

TL;DR: The data show, that a tumor, although stimulating the immune system, nevertheless may be suppressive on certain immune functions through the activation of suppressor cells.

The clonal selection theory of acquired immunity

F. M. Burnet
TL;DR: The clonal selection theory of acquired immunity is studied as a theory of selection for immunity in the context of infectious disease.

Cell interactions in the induction of tolerance: the role of thymic lymphocytes

R. K. Gershon, +1 more
- 01 May 1970 - 
TL;DR: The induction of tolerance as well as the induction of immunity in thymus dependent BMD cell populations, seems to require the co-operation of TD cells.

Regulatory effect of antibody on the immune response.

TL;DR: This chapter deals with the regulatory effect of antibody on antibody formation, and two mechanisms are described both of which regulate the immune response.

Inhibition of Experimental Drug Allergy by Prior Feeding of the Sensitizing Agent

TL;DR: Through the feeding of certain allergenic compounds to the non-sensitive subject, a state of resistance may be established against subsequent experimental sensitization of the skin by the same substance.

THE CELLULAR BASIS OF IMMUNOLOGICAL RESPONSES: A Synthesis of Some Current Views

TL;DR: The cooperative function of T-lymphoblasts would account for the relationship often observed between delayed hypersensitivity and humoral-antibody formation, and for the occurrence of allergen-induced blastcell transformation of lymphocytes from allergic patients with anaphylactic - type hypersensitivity.
