Participation of Leukotrienes in the Immune Modulation of Oral Tolerance

Participation of Leukotrienes in the Immune Modulation of Oral Tolerance

Oral tolerance (OT) is characterized as a peripheral immune tolerance form, in which, mature lymphocytes in lymphoid tissues associated with mucosa, become non-functional or hypo responsive due to prior oral administration of antigen. OT is an important immunological phenomenon due to its therapeuti...
