Pathological conversion of regulatory T cells is associated with loss of allotolerance

Abstract CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a critical role in immune tolerance. The plasticity and functional adaptability of Tregs in an inflammatory microenvironment has been demonstrated in autoimmunity. Here, using a double transgenic mouse model that permits Foxp3 lineage tracing,...
