Tolerance Induction

Tolerance induction refers to a process in the immune system where the body becomes less responsive or "tolerant" to certain substances, such as allergens or transplanted tissues. This happens when the immune system is gradually exposed to these substances in a controlled way, helping to prevent allergic reactions or organ rejection. Essentially, tolerance induction aims to train the immune system to recognize and accept non-harmful substances, rather than overreacting against them, promoting better health outcomes and improving quality of life for individuals with allergies or those receiving transplants.
