Tregs protect against invariant NKT cell-mediated autoimmune colitis and hepatitis Universiteit Gent Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie
Immunomodulatory T cells play a pivotal role in protection against (auto)immune-mediated diseases that open perspectives for therapeutic modulation. However, how immune regulatory networks operate in vivo is less understood. To this end, we focused on FOXP3+CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) and invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, two lymphocyte populations that independently regulate adaptive and innate immune responses. In vitro, a ...
