DGKα and ζ deficiency causes regulatory T-cell dysregulation, destabilization, and conversion to pathogenic T-follicular helper cells to trigger IgG1-predominant autoimmunity

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) actively engage in immune suppression to prevent autoimmune diseases, but also inhibit anti-tumor immunity. Although Tregs express a TCR repertoire with relatively high affinities to self, they are normally quite stable, and their inflammatory programs are intrinsically suppressed. We report...
