IL-27 gives a good gut feeling about immune regulation
Regulatory T (Treg) cells maintain the balance between immune protection and pathology. Research has now found that intestinal Treg cells produce IL-27 to restrain TH17 cell-mediated immune responses, effectively...

TFH cells progressively differentiate to regulate the germinal center response
Craft and colleagues show that follicular helper T cells progress through transcriptionally and functionally distinct stages that provide specific signals for germinal center regulation.

Production of IL-10 by CD4+ regulatory T cells during the resolution of infection promotes the maturation of memory CD8+ T cells
The precise factors that control effective memory formation by T cells are unclear. Kaech et al. demonstrate that regulatory T cell–produced IL-10 is critical for the generation of CD8+ memory cells.

PTENtiating autoimmunity through Treg cell deregulation
Regulatory T cells require the phosphatase PTEN to maintain suppressive function in homeostatic conditions through preserved expression of CD25 and the transcription factor Foxp3.

Thymic self-reactivity selects natural interleukin 17–producing T cells that can regulate peripheral inflammation
Several unconventional T cell populations, including γδ T cells and regulatory T cells, are selected by recognition of self antigen in the thymus. Craft and colleagues add TH-17 cells to the list of T cell subset...

Resistance to Development of Collagen-Induced Arthritis in C57BL/6 Mice Is Due to a Defect in Secondary, but Not in Primary, Immune Response
Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is a rodent model of human rheumatoid arthritis. Mice of the H-2q (DBA/1J) background are highly susceptible to disease whereas mice of the H-2b (C57BL/6, B6) background are resis...

γδ T cells in autoimmunity
γδ T cells likely play a critical role in the host defenses, and recent evidence has indicated they are important in regulation of the immune response after pathogen challenge. Data are also accumulating that ...

Autoreactive T cells in murine lupus
The conventional paradigm to explain systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is that disease results from tissue deposition of pathogenic autoantibodies and immune complexes, secondary to activation of autoreactive...

Lessons from Knockout and Transgenic Lupus-Prone Mice
Inbred mice have provided the majority of knowledge regarding the pathogenesis of lupus. Their ease of use relates predominately to their more accessible immune organs, greater genetic homogeneity, and more pr...
