  4. 7. Beyond Th1 and Treg : intestinal T helper cells in disease and tolerance

    Author : Rebeca Franco Cardoso; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The human intestinal tract is not only one of the largest organs by surface area in our bodies but also harbors the greatest number of immune cells. These cells are crucial for maintaining tolerance towards the various food and microbial antigens and mounting protective inflammatory responses towards invading pathogens. READ MORE

  5. 8. Phenotype and function of CD25+ regulatory T cells in infants and adults

    Author : Hanna Grindebacke; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Immunology; CD4 CD25 FOXP3 regulatory T cells; human; allergy; IL-10; Systemic immunotherapy; migration; homing receptors; maturation;

    Abstract : Active suppression by CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) is essential for the maintenance of peripheral tolerance to both self antigens and environmental antigens. Absence of these cells in human newborns leads to autoimmune and inflammatory disorders as well as allergic disease. READ MORE
