Prevention of toxic epidermal necrolysis by regulatory T cells
2005-05-24
Abstract excerpt
To analyze immunoregulation of autoreactive T cells specific for epidermal skin antigens, we crossed transgenic mice expressing ovalbumin selectively in keratinocytes under the keratin 5 promoter (K5-mOVA) with mice expressing a Kb-restricted OVA-specific T cell receptor transgene (OT-I). In athymic double-transgenic mice, OT-I cells developed extrathymically and, at 8–12 weeks of age, initiated severe epidermal d...
