abstract = "The main physiologic function of the immune system - protection of the host from infection for many years characterized the immune response in its ability to distinguish between “foreign” and “self”, the key issue being that foreign was to be attacked and eradicated, while self was not to be
attacked. In recent years, however, from the wide range of diseases that are consequent to inappropriate immune functions, we have learned that the ability of the immune system to distinguish between harmful and harmless molecules or cells rather than characterizing the dichotomy as foreign and self is essential for mounting protective immune responses and preventing the induction of pathology.",
