Comparative genomics reveals key gain-of-function events in Foxp3 during regulatory T cell evolution
The immune system has the ability to suppress undesirable responses, such as those against commensal bacteria, food and paternal antigens in placenta pregnancy. The lineage-specific transcription factor Foxp3 orchestrates the development and function of regulatory T cells underlying this immunologic...
