Hepatocytes Delete Regulatory T Cells by Enclysis, a CD4+ T Cell Engulfment Process

Summary: CD4+ T cells play critical roles in directing immunity, both as T helper and as regulatory T (Treg) cells. Here, we demonstrate that hepatocytes can modulate T cell populations through engulfment of live CD4+ lymphocytes. We term this phenomenon enclysis to reflect the specific enclosure of...
