Cutting Edge: Deficiency in the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Cbl-b Results in a Multifunctional Defect in T Cell TGF-β Sensitivity In Vitro and In Vivo
1 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Mice deficient in the E3 ubiquitin ligase Cbl-b have CD28-independent T cells and develop autoimmunity. We previously reported that Cbl-b-/- CD4+CD25- T effector cells are resistant in vitro to the antiproliferative effects of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells and TGF-beta. We have now asked whether the resistance noted in Cbl-b-/- T cells is restricted solely to TGF-beta's antiproliferative effects, whether the...
