Research Article: Regulatory T cells inhibit autoantigen-specific CD4+ T cell responses in lupus-prone NZB/W F1 mice
Abstract:
Introduction: Progressive loss of regulatory T cell (Treg)-mediated control over autoreactive effector T cells contributes to the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Accordingly, we hypothesized that Treg may also have the capacity to suppress the activation of autoreactive CD4+ T cells that are considered to drive autoimmunity.
