β¦ Synopsis
There is now compelling evidence that immune responses for both foreign and self antigens are downregulated by T cells that are specialised for this function; these are known as regulatory T (T reg) cells. This review describes progress in the characterisation of the T reg cells that mediate both mucosal tolerance and tolerance to self antigens. The recent work on the antigen specificity, generation and mode of action of T reg cells is also reviewed.

## Abstract Recent studies have revealed that Foxp3^+^CD25^+^CD4^+^ regulatory T cells (Tregs), which are physiologically engaged in the maintenance of immunological selfβtolerance, play critical roles for the control of antitumor immune responses. For example, a large number of Foxp3^+^Tregs infil
## Abstract We describe a regulatory lymphoid dendritic cell (LDC) population propagated from mouse liver nonparenchymal cells (NPC) in ILβ3 and antiβCD40 monoclonal antibody that are phenotypically mature, and induce Tβcell hyporesponsiveness by promoting Tβcell apoptotic death, which is partially
