First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

Two articles in this issue of Journal of Biology prompt a brief reflection on the regulation of adaptive immune responses. (I suspect many, if not most, non-immunological readers may find immunology impenetrable, and I cannot promise that what follows will reassure them, so they may like to click over to something else - Articles by Semple on diabetes [1], or Garfield and Wray on the evolution of development [2], inter alia, may interest them. Immunologically sophisticated readers will not learn anything and may also be better advised to read something else.)
