Abstract excerpt
The low number of natural regulatory T cells (nTregs) in the circulation specific for a particular Ag and concerns about the bystander suppressive capacity of expanded nTregs presents a major clinical challenge for nTreg-based therapeutic treatment of autoimmune diseases. In the current study, we demonstrate that naive CD4+CD25-Foxp3- T cells specific for the myelin proteolipid protein (PLP)139-151 peptide can be...
