Abstract

VOJDANI and ERDE have described Regulatory T-cells, a type of white blood cells potentially important in allergy.

Abstract: Regulatory T cells maintain dominant control of immune responses to foreign materials and microbes. Appropriate Regulatory T cell suppression of immune responses is essential for the maintenance of efficacious defensive responses and the limitation of collateral tissue damage due to excess inflammation. Allergy and infection are well-studied and frequent afflictions in which Regulatory T cells play an essential role. As such, they provide excellent models to communicate the significance and relevance of Regulatory T cells to complementary and alternative medicine.
