Abstract excerpt
Several immune regulatory cell types participate in the protection against autoimmune diseases such as autoimmune diabetes. Of these immunoregulatory cells, we and others have shown that peripheral CD4-CD8- double negative (DN) T cells can induce antigen-specific immune tolerance. Particularly, we have described that diabetes-prone mice exhibit a lower number of peripheral DN T cells compared to...
