Abstract excerpt
CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) restrict inflammatory responses to self and nonself. Aberrant Treg activity is pathologic: Insufficient Treg activity is implicated in autoimmunity, allergy, and graft-versus-host-disease; overabundant activity is implicated in chronic infection and cancer. Tregs require IL-2 for their expansion and acquisition/execution of suppressor function; however, because...
