CD8+ T Cell-Mediated Suppression of Autoimmunity in a Murine Lupus Model of Peptide-Induced Immune Tolerance Depends on Foxp3 Expression
1 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease caused by autoantibodies, including IgG anti-DNA. New Zealand Black/New Zealand White F(1) female mice, a model of spontaneous polygenic systemic lupus erythematosus, tolerized with an artificial peptide (pConsensus) based on anti-DNA IgG sequences containing MHC class I and class II T cell determinants, develop regulatory CD4+CD25+ T cells and CD8+ inhibitory...
