RORγt+Foxp3+ Cells are an Independent Bifunctional Regulatory T Cell Lineage and Mediate Crescentic GN
10 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
Cells expressing both the regulatory T cell (Treg)-inducing transcription factor Foxp3 and the Th17 transcription factor RORγt have been identified (biTregs). It is unclear whether RORγt(+)Foxp3(+) biTregs belong to the Th17-specific Treg17 cells, represent intermediates during Treg/Th17 transdifferentiation, or constitute a distinct cell lineage. Because the role of biTregs in inflammatory renal disease is also...
