Extra-thymically induced regulatory T cells: do they have potential in disease prevention?
Semin. Immunol. 23, 410-417 (2011)
Fopx3(+) Treg safeguard against autoimmune diseases and immune pathology. The extrathymic conversion of naïve T cells into Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells can be achieved in vivo by the delivery of strong-agonist ligands under subimmunogenic conditions. Tolerogenic vaccination with strong-agonist mimetopes of self-antigen to promote self-antigen specific tolerance may represent the most specific and safest means of preventing autoimmunity. This review discusses the requirements for induction of dominant tolerance exerted by Foxp3(+) Tregs in autoimmunity with special emphasis on their impact to interfere with T1D. The future goals are the understanding of self-non-self discrimination at the cellular and molecular level, which should then enable investigators to develop clinical vaccination protocols that specifically interfere with unwanted immune responses.
