Scientific plans and methodology: Mice will be employed as the model system for experimentation. From literature, N number of antigens already shown to be effective in causing oral tolerance will be selected like s-antigen, OVA etc. [5, 6]. N+1 groups of mice with 4 mice in each group would be created. One group would serve as control and remaining each group would be administered a particular antigen. Each…
