The Cytokine Receptor IL-7Rα Impairs IL-2 Receptor Signaling and Constrains the In Vitro Differentiation of Foxp3+ Treg Cells

Summary: IL-7 receptor signaling is essential for the generation and maintenance of conventional T cells. Immunosuppressive Foxp3+ Treg cells, however, express uniquely low amounts of the IL-7-proprietary IL-7Rα so that they are impaired in IL-7 signaling. Because Treg cells depend on IL-2, the loss...
