T cells doing it for themselves: TGF-beta regulation of Th1 and Th17 cells
Abstract
The source of TGF-beta, which regulates inflammation in various disease settings, is unclear. In this issue of Immunity, Li et al. (2007) find that not only does T cell-produced TGF-beta regulate Th1-cell-mediated inflammation, but it is also required for the generation of Th17 cells in vivo.
