Coexistence of critical sensitivity and subcritical specificity can yield optimal population coding [PDF]
J. R. Soc. Interface 14:20170207 (2017), 2017 The vicinity of phase transitions selectively amplifies weak stimuli, yielding optimal sensitivity to distinguish external input. Along with this enhanced sensitivity, enhanced levels of fluctuations at criticality reduce the specificity of the response.

The specific suppression of contact sensitivity [PDF]
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1978 The ability of 2,4,6 trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced regulatory cells to modulate the generation of contact sensitivity (CS) to picryl chloride has been studied. We have confirmed that such suppressor cells can modulate CS and have extended these observations to demonstrate that suppressor factors, liberated by suppressor cells in ...
