immune tolerance

Immune tolerance is the body's way of preventing the immune system from attacking its own cells, tissues, and harmless substances. It develops through a process that teaches immune cells to recognize and ignore the body's own components while still being able to defend against harmful invaders like bacteria and viruses. This balance is essential to prevent autoimmune diseases, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body. Essentially, immune tolerance ensures that the immune system can protect us without harming ourselves, maintaining overall health and immune harmony.
