The 16 pages that link to Immune tolerance, each with the reason it gives.

• ApoptosisRelated: Clearance of apoptotic material can present self-antigens in a noninflammatory context.

• AutoimmunityCompared with: Tolerance to self is the restraint that autoimmunity breaks or bypasses.

• ImmunosuppressionCompared with: Tolerance can prevent a targeted attack without broadly suppressing immune function.

• Immune systemRelated: It restrains defense from attacking self while responses target threats.

• Autoimmune diseaseRelated: Breakdowns in central or peripheral tolerance allow self-reactive immune cells to cause disease.

• Dendritic cellRelated: Dendritic cells can promote tolerance as well as immunity, depending on context and signals.

• ImmunologyRelated: Tolerance prevents attacks on self and can determine acceptance of transplanted tissue.

• ThymusNarrower topic: Thymic selection is a central source of tolerance to self-antigens.

• Pattern recognition receptorRelated: Tolerance must restrain responses to self-derived signals detected by innate sensors.

• ImmunogenicityCompared with: Tolerance explains why exposure to an antigen does not always produce an immune response.

• Hashimoto's thyroiditisRelated: Loss of tolerance to thyroid antigens permits the autoimmune response in Hashimoto's.

• Primary immunodeficiencyRelated: Some inherited immune defects impair tolerance, causing autoimmunity alongside infections.

• UrushiolCompared with: Differences in tolerance help explain why some people show little or no reaction to urushiol.

• Allogeneic cellsRelated: Tolerance to donor antigens could allow allogeneic cells to persist without continuous broad suppression.

• Immune System DiseasesRelated: Failures of tolerance allow autoimmune disease to develop.

• Immune system phenomenaCompared with: It distinguishes necessary restraint from immune activation.
