IL-10: The Master Regulator of Immunity to Infection (2008, background): “However, under certain conditions (typically following exposure to IL-10 or TGF- ) DC can initiate the development of Treg that limit these effector responses (39, 40).”
An immunomodulatory molecule of symbiotic bacteria directs maturation of the host immune system. (2005, background): “Concordantly, DCs are the APCs that mediate the generation and activity of regulatory T cells (Tregs), a CD4+ T cell subset involved in suppression of immune reactions and direction of TH1/TH2 responses (Groux et al., 2004; Mills, 2004).”
Fitness consequences of immune responses: strengthening the empirical framework for ecoimmunology (2011, background): “However, we also note that cellular tolerance of parasite antigens can lead to organismal tolerance of parasites (Mills 2004), so the verbal definitions are not entirely at odds.”
Mesenchymal stem cells avoid allogeneic rejection (2005, background): “There is evidence that MSC prevent normal allogeneic responses by directing CD4+ T cells to a suppressive or counter-regulatory phenotype[46,50].”
