Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Regulatory T cells play a role in the control of immune responses in the intestinal mucosa and their absence may predispose to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Our goal was to characterize the phenotype and function of T cells proliferating after interaction with IECs. METHODS:...
