immune system
• CD4 T cells are highly susceptible to dose-dependent suppression by CD8 T regulatory cells in vitro
• this suppression is dependent on Fas ligand being expressed by the CD8 T regulatory cell
|
• transfer of CD4 T cells into Rag2-/- Prf1-/- hosts initiates a progressive and lethal form of EAE that results in death from fulminant disease within 14?16 days after transfer
• co-transfer of CD8 T regulatory cells with mutant CD4 T cells prevents disease where as co-transfer of CD8 T regulatory cells with transgenic CD4 T cells not carrying the H2-T23 mutation fails to prevent disease
