Critical co-stimulatory pathways in the stability of Foxp3 super(+ T) sub(r)eg cell homeostasis in Type I Diabetes

Mechanisms of peripheral tolerance maintain a controlled balance between self-tolerance, protective immunity against a spectrum of non-self antigens, and suppressing pathology in various disorders. CD4 super(+ regulatory T cells (T) sub(r)eg) expressing the Foxp3 transcription factor dominantly cont...

Summary:Mechanisms of peripheral tolerance maintain a controlled balance between self-tolerance, protective immunity against a spectrum of non-self antigens, and suppressing pathology in various disorders. CD4 super(+ regulatory T cells (T) sub(r)eg) expressing the Foxp3 transcription factor dominantly control the activity and pathological consequences of a variety of effector T cell lineages in various inflammatory settings. This review will focus on recent advances on the roles of B7 family members in regulating Treg cell development, function and homeostasis during tolerance induction and organ-specific autoimmunity.
