Abstract excerpt
Several strategies are being designed to test the therapeutic potential of Ag-specific regulatory T cells to prevent or treat autoimmune diseases. In this study, we demonstrate that naive CD4+ Foxp3- T cells specific for a naturally expressed autoantigen (H+/K+ ATPase) can be converted to Foxp3+...
