CD4+CD25+ Immunoregulatory T Cells Suppress Polyclonal T Cell Activation In Vitro by Inhibiting Interleukin 2 Production
Peripheral tolerance may be maintained by a population of regulatory/suppressor T cells that prevent the activation of autoreactive T cells recognizing tissue-specific antigens. We have previously… Expand

Expression of Helios, an Ikaros Transcription Factor Family Member, Differentiates Thymic-Derived from Peripherally Induced Foxp3+ T Regulatory Cells
Helios, a member of the Ikaros transcription factor family, is preferentially expressed at the mRNA level by regulatory T cells (Treg cells). We evaluated Helios protein expression using a newly… Expand

Suppressor Effector Function of CD4+CD25+ Immunoregulatory T Cells Is Antigen Nonspecific
CD4+CD25+ T cells represent a unique population of “professional” suppressor T cells that prevent induction of organ-specific autoimmune disease. In vitro, CD4+CD25+ cells were anergic to simulation… Expand

Cutting Edge: IL-2 Is Critically Required for the In Vitro Activation of CD4+CD25+ T Cell Suppressor Function
CD4+CD25+ T cells are potent immunoregulatory cells that suppress TCR-induced proliferation of CD4 and CD8 T cells in vitro by a cell contact-dependent mechanism. Addition of IL-2 or anti-CD28… Expand

tTregs, pTregs, and iTregs: similarities and differences
Foxp3+ T‐regulatory cells (Tregs) are primarily generated in the thymus (tTreg), but also may be generated extrathymically at peripheral sites (pTreg), or induced in cell culture (iTreg) in the… Expand

CD4+CD25+ T cells inhibit both the induction and effector function of autoreactive T cells and represent a unique lineage of immunoregulatory cells.
Thymectomy of susceptible strains of mice on day 3 of life results in a spectrum of organ-specific autoimmunity that can be prevented by reconstitution of the thymectomized animals early in life with… Expand

Control of T‐cell activation by CD4+ CD25+ suppressor T cells
Summary: Depletion of the minor (∼10%) subpopulation of CD4+ T cells that co‐expresses CD25 (interleukin (IL)‐2 receptor α‐chain) by thymectomy of neonates on the third day of life or by treatment of… Expand

CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T Cells Can Mediate Suppressor Function in the Absence of Transforming Growth Factor β1 Production and Responsiveness
CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells inhibit organ-specific autoimmune diseases induced by CD4+CD25−T cells and are potent suppressors of T cell activation in vitro. Their mechanism of suppression remains… Expand

Activated CD4+CD25+ T cells selectively kill B lymphocytes.
The suppressive capacity of naturally occurring mouse CD4+CD25+ T cells on T-cell activation has been well documented. The present study is focused on the interaction of CD4+CD25+ T cells and B… Expand

The lifestyle of naturally occurring CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells
Summary:  Numerous studies over the past 10 years have demonstrated the importance of naturally occurring CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (nTregs) in immune regulation. We analyzed the mechanism… Expand
