Abstract
This paper discusses the development of the immune system from early gestation throughout postnatal development. The major aspects of immunoregulation and immunocompetence are reviewed. The mechanism(s) of immunologic tolerance, graft rejection reactions, mixed lymphocyte reactions, allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and graft versus host disease are described.
