Abstract excerpt
Little is known about the molecules that control the development and function of CD4+ CD25+ Tregs. Recently, it was shown that the transcription factor FOXP3 is necessary and sufficient for the generation of CD4+ CD25+ Tregs in mice. We investigated the capacity of FOXP3 to drive the generation of suppressive CD4+ CD25+ Tregs in humans. Surprisingly, although ectopic expression of FOXP3 in human CD4+ T cells...
