Immunogenic, but not steady-state, antigen presentation permits regulatory T-cells to control CD8+ T-cell effector differentiation by IL-2 modulation.

Absorption of IL-2 is one proposed mechanism of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cell (Treg) suppression. Direct in vivo experimental evidence for this has recently been obtained. While modulation of IL-2 bioavailability controls CD8+ T-cell effector differentiation under strongly immunogenic conditions...
