Abstract excerpt
A network of mechanisms operates to maintain tolerance in the gut mucosa. Although CD103 marks many lymphoid cells within the gut, its direct functional role in intestinal tolerance is poorly understood. CD103 may be part of a redundant pathway, as CD103(-/-) mice do not exhibit autoimmunity. To reduce such redundancy, CD103(-/-) mice were crossed to mice (designated Y3) whose T cells expressed a mutant...
