✦ Synopsis

The immune system is a delicately balanced network of interacting cells. In recent years, the concept of immune regulation/suppression has been firmly established, and both natural and induced regulatory cells play vital roles in protection from autoimmune disease. Recent work has revealed the diverse nature of regulatory CD4 + T (Treg) cells and the molecules involved in their function. Innate and adaptive responses to infection are able to override the suppressive properties of such regulatory cells, whereas several reports point to deficiencies in regulatory cell function in autoimmune disease. Protocols have been developed that allow the expansion of Treg cells in vitro and their antigen-specific induction in vivo. A full understanding of Treg differentiation and function will facilitate the development of improved strategies for prevention and treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Interface hepatitis, the histological lesion typical of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), is composed of CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes and of innate immunity cells, particularly monocytes. Studies in AIH have focused on autoreactive CD4 and CD8 T cells and impairment of CD4Ψ‰CD25Ψ‰ regulatory T cells (T-regs),

CD4 Ψ‰ CD25 Ψ‰ regulatory T cells (Treg) are important mediators of peripheral immune tolerance; however, whether Treg participate also in hepatic immune tolerance is not clear. Therefore, we tested the potential of Treg to suppress stimulation of CD4 Ψ‰ T cells by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (L

ΓΎ CD25 ΓΎ regulatory T (T R ) cells are essential negative regulators of multiple immune functions. Their development and function are critically dependent on the forkhead transcription factor Foxp3. IL-2R-derived signals are also required for their maturation and/or proliferation. Expression of the
