The Regulatory T-cell Transcription Factor Foxp3 Protects against Crescentic Glomerulonephritis
Abstract Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been shown to play a protective role in glomerulonephritis (GN) and Foxp3 is a master transcription factor in Treg development. In this study, we examined the functional role and mechanisms of Foxp3 in a mouse model of accelerated anti-glomerular basement mem...
