Bach2–Batf interactions control Th2-type immune response by regulating the IL-4 amplification loop

Bach2 limits T cell effector functions. Here the authors show that Bach2–Batf complex antagonizes the recruitment of the Batf–Irf4 complex to AP-1 motifs and suppresses Th2 cytokine production, and describe mechanisms of negative feedback by which Bach2 restricts Baft-mediated Th2 response.
