Abstract:
One of the several lines of evidence documenting a relationship between the brain and the immune system is the research on behaviorally induced alterations in immune reactivity. The present review concentrates on the use of immunopharmacologic agents, stress, and antigenic stimuli as unconditioned stimuli (UCSs) in the classically conditioned suppression and enhancement of cell-mediated immune reactions including host-vs-graft and graft-vs-host reactions and delayed type hypersensitivity.

What is Immunological Memory?
Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature is...
