Abstract

The most important task for the developing immune system is to learn how to react adequately to the environment. This is achieved by an active recognition and response to all antigens that are encountered. These include dietary antigens, commensal and pathogenic micro-organisms, non-replicating environmental antigens and autoantigens. To maintain homeostasis the immune system needs to discriminate between harmful and innocuous antigens.
