Elimination1
Dominant recalled immune cells can sustain infection by killing local support cells
Where this hypothesis actsDominant recalled antigen specificity in affected tissues of older adults with discordant tissue infections
What is proposedSelectively remove the dominant recalled cytotoxic population
With whatNot stated in the record
HowDeplete antigen-reactive cells in autologous infected tissue cultures, with matched add-back experiments
Possible resultPossible restoration of pathogen control by existing alternative effectors without generating new clones

Immunosuppression1
Repeated skin repair primes immune attacks that impair later hair growth
Where this hypothesis actsRepeatedly repaired skin after closure, when subsequent anagen exposes follicular descendants to attack
What is proposedSuppress the antigen-specific T-cell response against follicular cells
With whatNot stated in the record
HowPostclosure interruption of the relevant T-cell response, with depletion tested in animals; pathogen and tumor defense must remain intact
Possible resultPossible restoration of appendage output without replacing epithelial cells, and stabilization of SPV_5

Population balance1
Exposure order can cause chance loss of unfamiliar immune cells despite favorable average growth
Where this hypothesis actsUnfamiliar clone founders in primary-cell cultures exposed to different antigen and environmental sequences
What is proposedIncrease the initial number of otherwise identical unfamiliar founder cells
With whatInstrument or assay
HowTitrate founder numbers in limiting-dilution primary-cell cultures, maintaining total cell density with nonresponding cells
Possible resultPossible reduction in complete clone loss without changing per-capita growth, recall abundance or antigen recognition
