Retinal pigment epithelial cells induce foxp3(+) regulatory T cells via membrane-bound TGF-β.

Ocular immunology and inflammation - 1 Dec 2010

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: It is speculated that retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells convert naïve T cells into regulatory T cells (Tregs) via soluble factors such as transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β). Yet presence or absence of similar membrane-bound mechanisms on RPE cells has yet to be addressed. Here the authors investigated the expression of surface TGF-β by RPE cells and its participation in the conversion of naive...
