A general theme in gene regulation is that transcription factors never function alone. Recent studies have emphasized this concept for regulatory T cells, a unique lineage of CD4+ T cells that exert active immune suppression and are essential to maintaining self-tolerance.
基因调控的一个普遍主题是转录因子从不单独发挥作用。最近的研究强调了调节性T细胞的这一概念,调节性T细胞是CD4+T细胞的一个独特谱系,具有主动免疫抑制作用,对维持自身耐受性至关重要。
