Regulatory T cells appear to show great potential for use in cellular therapy. In particular, CD4(-)CD8(-) (double negative (DN)) T cells, which compose 1-3% of the total number of T lymphocytes, exhibit prominent antigen-specific immune tolerance properties and confer immune tolerance in models of allografts and xenografts. We have recently shown that autoimmune-diabetes-prone mice carry fewer DN T cells and...
