Cell-intrinsic IL-7Rα deficiency in Foxp3+ Tregs increases type 1 diabetes incidence in NOD mice

Abstract Regulatory CD4+ T cells (Tregs), as defined by expression of the transcription factor Foxp3, strongly depend on the cytokine interleukin 2 (IL-2) for their survival and function and are often identified by the combination of high IL-2Rα (CD25) and low IL-7Rα (CD127) expression. Nevertheless, subsets expressing...
