Acquisition of Suppressive Function by Activated Human CD4+CD25− T Cells Is Associated with the Expression of CTLA-4 Not FoxP3
1 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
The role of CTLA-4 in regulatory T cell (Treg) function is not well understood. We have examined the role of CTLA-4 and its relationship with the transcription factor FoxP3 using a model of Treg induction in human peripheral blood. Activation of human CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells resulted in the appearance of a de novo population of FoxP3-expressing cells within 48 h. These cells expressed high levels of CTLA-4 and cell...
