Abstract excerpt
Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is accompanied by insufficient antigen-specific regulatory T cells (Tregs) and clonally expanded antigen-specific conventional T cells. In particular, this applied to the immunodominant T cell autoepitope of type IV collagen, α3(IV)NC1135-145, presented by human leukocyte antigen-DRB1∗1501. Here, we investigated whether Tregs engineered to express GBM-T cell...
