Regulatory T cell ablation causes acute T cell lymphopenia.

Regulatory T cell ablation causes acute T cell lymphopenia.

Regulatory T (Treg) cells enforce T cell homeostasis and maintain peripheral T cell tolerance. Here we report a previously unappreciated phenomenon of acute T cell lymphopenia in secondary lymphoid organs and non-lymphoid tissues triggered by Treg cell depletion that precedes the expansion of self-r...
