Immunological Tolerance

Immunological Tolerance is a physiological state of the immune system characterized by specific non-responsiveness to an antigen that would otherwise elicit an immune response, brought about by active mechanisms such as deletion, inactivation or regulation of antigen-reactive lymphocytes that prevent destructive reactions against self or other non-harmful antigens.
