Abstract excerpt
Discovery of the CD4+CD25+ T cells has stemmed from investigation of the AOD in the d3tx mice. Besides CD4+CD25+ T cell depletion, d3tx disease induction requires effector T cell activation prompted by lymphopenia. This is supported by other neonatal AOD models in which T cell-mediated injury has been found to be triggered by immune complex or Ag immunization. In addition, there is growing evidence that support a...
