Self/non-self discrimination and unresponsiveness to self is the fundamental properties of the immune system. Self-tolerance is a state in which the individual is incapable of developing an immune response to an individual's own antigens and it underlies the ability to remain tolerant of individual's own tissue components. Several mechanisms have been postulated to explain the tolerant state. They can be... |

Purpose : The release of histamine from human basophils is controlled by an intrinsic, as yet
unidentified, cellular property termed “releasability.” We carried out this study to ascertain whether
there was any difference in the releasability of basophils from asthmatic children compared to
those from normal children. We intended also to clarify the correlation between the releasability
and the atopic status of asthma.

Autoimmune hepatitis in children is a rare and severe inflammatory disease of unknown
etiology, and progress to cirrohosis and liver failure, generally is responsive to immunosuppressive
therapy. It is more prevalent in women than men, and characterized by the presence of
circulating autoantibodies, a high serum globulin. Extrahepatic manifestations such as thyroiditis,
ulcerative colitis, glomerulonephritis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia, are associated.
