## Background: Cd4+cd25+ regulatory t cells (tr) can prevent or treat experimental murine colitis but little is known about their potential role in human inflammatory bowel disease (ibd). foxp3 is a transcription factor that plays a critical role in the development and function of cd4+cd25+ tr. the
## Abstract Current literature suggests that T cells recognizing antigen on mature dendritic cells (DC) differentiate into effector T cells whereas tolerance is induced when antigen is presented by immature DC. We investigated the consequences of the interactions between immature or lipopolysacchar
## 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
