Factors affecting tolerance role of antigen Factors which affect response Favor immune response Favor tolerance Ø Physical form of antigen Ø Large, aggregated, complex molecules, properly processed Ø soluble, aggregate-free, simple small molecules, not processed Ø Route of injection Ø Subcutaneous or intramuscular Ø Oral or, sometimes, intravenous Ø Dose of antigen Ø Optimal dose Ø Very large or very small dose

Factors affecting tolerance the role of host Factors that affect response Favor immune response

Factors affecting tolerance the role of host Factors that affect response Favor immune response Favor tolerance Ø Age of responding animal Ø Fully differentiated; memory T & B cells Ø Newborn (mice), immunologically immature Ø Differentiation state of cells Ø Older, immunologically mature Ø Relative undifferentiated B cell with only Ig. M, T cells in the thymic cortex

Immunologic features of tolerance Ø It is an antigen-induced, active process Ø Like immunologic

Immunologic features of tolerance Ø It is an antigen-induced, active process Ø Like immunologic memory, it is antigen specific Ø Like immunologic memory, it can exist in B cells, T cells or both Ø Like immunologic memory, its easier to induce and lasts longer in T cells than in B cell

Mechanism of tolerance induction Ø Clonal deletion Thymus: negative selection Ø Bone marrow: Ig.

Mechanism of tolerance induction Ø Clonal deletion Thymus: negative selection Ø Bone marrow: Ig. M+, Ig. D- B cells encountering self antigen Ø Ø Clonal anergy Lack of co-stimulatory(B 7) molecules Ø Exposure to large amounts of antigen Ø Improper antigen presentation Ø Lack of antigenic stimulus Ø Ø Receptor editing Anti-idiotype antibodies Suppressor T cells
