Abstract excerpt
IL-10 producing regulatory type 1 (Tr1) cells represents a subpopulation of CD4+ regulatory cells able to prevent in vitro bystander T-cell proliferation and to inhibit a wide range of inflammatory diseases in mice. Our aim was to evaluate the frequency and function of joint specific Tr1 cells in the peripheral blood of severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients. The collagen II protein was chosen to isolate Tr1...
