Abstract excerpt
In the periphery, tolerance to self antigens is mainly mediated by the CD4(+)CD25(+)FOXP3(+) subset of regulatory T cells, which can suppress the activity of autoreactive T cells that have escaped deletion in the thymus. The essential role of the transcription factor FOXP3 (forkhead box P3) in the development and function of these regulatory T cells has been well documented. It is also clear that regulatory T...
