Abstract excerpt
Studies in humans and mice show an important role for Tregs in the control of immunological disorders. The mechanisms underlying the immunosuppressive functions of Tregs are not well understood. Here, we show that CD4+ T cells expressing Foxp3 and membrane-bound TGF-beta (TGF-beta(m+)Foxp3+), previously shown to be immunosuppressive in both allergic and autoimmune diseases, activate the Notch1-hairy and enhancer...
