摘要
Among the several mechanisms that play a role in maintaining peripheral self-tolerance is the existence of a unique CD4(+)CD25(+) population of naturally occurring regulatory T cells, which actively prevent both the activation and the effector function of autoreactive T cells that have escaped different mechanisms of tolerance. Many studies have shown the benefit of targeting this cell population by restoring self-tolerance. Therapies that could possibly increase the suppressive ability of T regulatory cells were proven to improve the course of autoimmune diseases.
