Although central and peripheral tolerance are important for the regulation of human immune
responses to self-and microbial antigens, an important role of suppressor CD4+ CD25+ T
cells is suggested from the recent investigations of human autoimmune diseases and HIV.
These new data provide increasing evidence that altered function of CD4+ CD25+ T cells
may be an important factor in a wide range of human inflammatory and infectious diseases.
Abstract
Although central and peripheral tolerance are important for the regulation of human immune responses to self-and microbial antigens, an important role of suppressor CD4+ CD25+ T cells is suggested from the recent investigations of human autoimmune diseases and HIV. These new data provide increasing evidence that altered function of CD4+ CD25+ T cells may be an important factor in a wide range of human inflammatory and infectious diseases.
