The role of different subsets of T regulatory cells in controlling autoimmunity

M G Roncarolo et al. Curr Opin Immunol. 2000 Dec.

Abstract

T regulatory cells-in addition to clonal deletion and anergy-are essential for the downregulation of T cell responses to both foreign and self antigens, and for the prevention of autoimmunity. Recent progress has been made in characterising the different subsets of T regulatory cells, the factors that drive their differentiation, and their mode of action. The resolution of these mechanisms will make it possible to use T regulatory cells therapeutically in human autoimmune diseases.
