Liver tolerance mediated by antigen presenting cells: fact or fiction?

Possible mechanisms by which liver antigen presenting cells (APC) may facilitate tolerance induction are discussed. Tolerance may be facilitated by a distinctive combination of factors, linked to the unique anatomical and microenvironmental features of the liver.
