    Andrzej Szczeklik ; translated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones ; introduction by Adam Zagajewski ; afterword by John Martin.
    Summary: "... Szczeklik writes with the grace of a poet and the ease of a fine storyteller. Anecdotes drawn from a personal immersion in art, music, and literature are woven with reports on experimental medicine and daily clinical experience. From DNA and the re-creation of the Spanish Flu virus, to contemporary research in genetics, cancer, neurology, and the AIDS virus, from "Symptoms and Shadows," to "Dying and Death," to "Enchantment of Love," every chapter of this book is alive and engaging. The result is a life-affirming work of science, philosophy, art, and spirituality"--Excerpted from notes supplied by publisher.

    Tolerance to contact sensitization with DNFB may be induced by DNBSO3. This specific unresponsiveness may occur via one or both of two mechanisms--production of suppressor T cells or clone inhibition. We investigated the role of the spleen in this unresponsiveness. Splenectomized mice may be tolerized by i.v. injection of DNBSO3, but they are incapable of serving as donors of lymph node cells for transfer of tolerance to normal recipients. Kinetic studies indicated that the spleen must be present at least three days after tolerization in order to permit development of a significant number of suppressor cells in the peripheral lymph nodes. We interpret these results to indicate that 1) clone inhibition does not require the spleen, 2) the generation of suppressor T cells is dependent on the presence of the spleen, and 3) it is likely that tolerogens in this system induce suppressor cells in the spleen and some of these cells or their products leave the spleen to reach the peripheral lymph nodes.
