Immune Tolerance by Induced Regulatory T Cells in Asthma

© Copyright The Korean Academy of Asthma, Allergy and Clinical Immunology • The Korean Academy of Pediatric Allergy and Respiratory Disease http://e-aair.org Dr. Ralph M. Steinman, who discovered the dendritic cells (DCs) that play a key role in the adaptive immune response, was awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 3 days after his untimely death.

Immune privilege induced by regulatory T cells in transplantation tolerance.

Immune privilege was originally believed to be associated with particular organs, such as the testes, brain, the anterior chamber of the eye, and the placenta, which need to be protected from any excessive inflammatory activity. It is now becoming clear, however, that immune privilege can be acquired locally in many different tissues in response to inflammation, but particularly due to the acti...

Regulatory T Cells and Immune Tolerance

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play an indispensable role in maintaining immunological unresponsiveness to self-antigens and in suppressing excessive immune responses deleterious to the host. Tregs are produced in the thymus as a functionally mature subpopulation of T cells and can also be induced from naive T cells in the periphery. Recent research reveals the cellular and molecular basis of Treg ...
