In addition to avoiding autoimmunity, the immune system must discriminate pathogens from innocuous foreign antigens. Failure to properly distinguish the harmless from the harmful can lead to allergy and asthma. Vanderbilt immunologists are leading the field in understanding mechanisms of respiratory inflammation and asthma among other allergic diseases.
