Abstract
The up- and down-regulation of the response to a specific stimulatory compound, according to its doses and to the sensitivity of the cells, is a widespread process in biology, immunology and endocrinology. Leukocytes are particularly suitable models for studying these changes of biological response as these cells may be easily isolated from blood and from inflammatory exudates and appear to be regulated by a large variety of mediators both in vitro and in vivo (disease states).
