Abstract excerpt
Il2 allelic variation in non-obese diabetic mice imparts marked resistance to type 1 diabetes. IL-2 is pivotal for the fitness and homeostasis of Foxp3(+) regulatory T (T(reg)) cells, and the Idd3(B6) locus augments IL-2 production by effector T cells, which in turn enhances the potency of T(reg)...
