MHC based suppression

This treatise presents in detail a novel proposal that the tissue-type molecules are so varied and notoriously hard to match for purposes such as transplantation precisely because their purpose is to prevent matching, or more exactly duplication by invaders. This places the tissue-type molecules at the heart of the mechanisms that control and specifically turn off the immune system. The treatise presents the theory in detail, introduces ideas on how it may operate and the evidence that such a mechanism exists. The application of the idea to most fields of immunology is then discussed
