For the following mechanism that is thought to contribute to maternal–fetal tolerance, state whether you would consider it to be an example of T cell tolerization, control of responses by regulatory lymphocytes, immune deviation or immune privilege: a) Placental cells express FasL and can kill Fas-expressing maternal T cells

Adaptive immunity has two division, cell-mediated immunity and humoral immunity. Humoral immunity comprises of B cell and the antibodies produced by them. Humoral immunity is dependent on cell-mediated immunity. T cells and B cells undergo positive and negative selection when they mature. During negative selection of lymphocytes, the cells that bind strongly to self-antigen would be eliminated.
