What is To be or Not to be Ridded? – That is the Question Addressed by the Associative Antigen Recognition Model^\*†^ about?

The reasons that germline‐encoded recognitive sites cannot sort the immune system's large and random somatically generated repertoire into anti‐Not‐to‐be‐ridded (‘self ’) and anti‐To‐be‐ridded (‘nonself ’) specificities are analysed. The immune system cannot use ‘nonself ’‐markers of To‐be‐ridded antigens (‘Danger’, toll receptors, pathogenicity, localization, etc.) to sort the repertoire; it may, however, use them to determine the magnitude and class of the effector response.

Who reads To be or Not to be Ridded? – That is the Question Addressed by the Associative Antigen Recognition Model^\*†^?
