Polymeric nanoparticles containing rapamycin and autoantigen induce antigen-specific immunological tolerance for preventing vitiligo in mice

Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease in which pigment is lost in patches of the skin. CD4+ T cells are implicated in vitiligo while regulatory T cells (Tregs) could ameliorate vitiligo. Rapamycin together with autoantigen have been shown to induce immunological tolerance and promote Tregs in multiple a...
