Abstract:
How is the balance between immune response and immune tolerance dynamically kept in the complicated immune system of human body? To answer this question, many scientists have proposed various models since 1950's. A brief introduction to these models is given in this mini-review, which might reflect the historical process in the development of immunology in the past half century.
