Ncf1 (p47phox) is essential for direct regulatory T cell mediated suppression of CD4+ effector T cells.

BACKGROUND: Multiple mechanisms have been advanced to account for CD4+FOXP3+ regulatory T cell (Treg)-mediated suppression of CD4+ effector T cells (Teffs) but none appear to completely explain suppression. Previous data indicates that Tregs may affect the microenvironment redox state. Given the inh...
