Abstract
Loss of tolerance to self-antigens is thought to have a role in a variety of common diseases. Studies in animal models of such diseases as systemic lupus erythematosus have provided new insights into how self-tolerance is broken or bypassed and how it may be restored. These and other experiments also are clarifying how self-tolerance is normally established; the T lymphocyte appears to be the dominant player.
