CD4+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells from Gαi2-/- mice are functionally active in vitro, but do not prevent colitis.
BACKGROUND: Mice deficient in the inhibitory G protein subunit Gαi2 spontaneously develop a T helper 1 dominated colitis. We examined whether a defect in CD4(+)FoxP3(+) regulatory T cells (Treg) underpins the pathogenesis of colitis in the Gαi2(-/-) (Gαi2-deficient) colitis model. METHODOLOGY/PRINCI...
