Medawar's "actively acquired tolerance" and the Danger model: Setting the record straight

Scandinavian Journal of Immunology
G Al-Yassin

Abstract

I describe here what I believe is a misrepresentation of the classic observations of Billingham, Brent and Medawar on "actively acquired tolerance," by Ridge, Fuchs and Matzinger; I set the record straight by revisiting the original literature and discussing the implications of this misinterpretation.
