T cells that cannot respond to TGF-beta escape control by CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells.

CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T (T reg) cells play a pivotal role in control of the immune response. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) has been shown to be required for T reg cell activity; however, precisely how it is involved in the mechanism of suppression is poorly understood. Using the T ce...
