Abstract excerpt
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) having CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ or CD4+ IL-10+ (Tr1) phenotype and capable of inducing anergy towards self- and alloantigens play an important role in autoimmunity, as well as in tolerance of allografts, pregnancy and cancer. Both thymus-derived T CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ natural cells and peripherally-induced T CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ cells prevent migration of effector immunocytes to target organs and...
