Abstract

CD4^+^Foxp3^+^ Treg consist of two indistinguishable subsets induced in either the thymus or the periphery. In addition to their suppressive activities, IL‐6 can convert natural Treg to pro‐inflammatory IL‐17‐producing cells, but those induced with IL‐2 and TGF‐β remain Treg. Unlike mouse CD4^+^CD25^–^ cells, which rapidly become polyclonal Foxp3^+^CD25^+^ Treg when activated appropriately with IL‐2 and TGF‐β, human T cells require multiple stimulations to become similar suppressor cells.

## Abstract Both CTLA‐4 and TGF‐β have been implicated in suppression by CD4^+^CD25^+^ regulatory T cells (Treg). In this study, the relationship between CTLA‐4 and TGF‐β in Treg function was examined. Blocking CTLA‐4 on wild‐type Treg abrogated their suppressive activity __in vitro__, whereas neut
