Abstract excerpt
Regulatory T (Treg) cells are essential in preventing the host from developing certain autoimmune diseases and limiting excessive immune responses against pathogens. The normal function of most Treg cells requires sustained expression of functional FOXP3, a member of the FOXP family transcription factors. FOXP3 is distinct from other subfamily members because of its unique proline rich amino (N)-terminal domain....
