Beyer Marc, Schultze Joachim L
Abstract excerpt
Regulatory T cells (T(reg) cells) are involved in self tolerance, immune homeostasis, prevention of autoimmunity, and suppression of immunity to pathogens or tumors. The forkhead transcription factor FOXP3 is essential for T(reg)-cell development and function as mutations in FOXP3 cause severe autoimmune diseases in mice and humans. Over the last years it has been postulated that FOXP3 expression in T(reg)...
