Microbes Infect. 2002 Apr;4(5):559-66. doi: 10.1016/s1286-4579(02)01573-3.

Abstract

T regulatory cells are essential for downregulation of undesired immune responses and prevention of autoimmune diseases, organ rejection, and graft versus host disease. This review describes the considerable progress made in the recent years in the characterization of the many subsets that constitute the puzzled world of murine T regulatory cells.
