IL-21 restricts T follicular regulatory T cell proliferation through Bcl-6 mediated inhibition of responsiveness to IL-2

IL-21 is central to follicular helper T cell function and germinal centre responses. Here the authors show that IL-21 signalling directly inhibits T follicular regulatory cells by limiting Bcl-6-dependent IL-2 receptor expression.
