Abstract

CD4+CD25+ T regulatory (T(R)) cells are an important regulatory component of the adaptive immune system that limit autoreactive T cell responses in various models of autoimmunity. This knowledge was generated by previous studies from our lab and others using T(R) cell supplementation and depletion. Contrary to dogma, we report here that injection of anti-CD25 mAb results in the functional inactivation, not depletion, of T(R) cells, resulting in exacerbated autoimmune disease. Supporting this, mice receiving anti-CD25 mAb treatment display significantly lower numbers of CD4+CD25+ T cells but no change in the number of CD4+FoxP3+ T(R) cells. In addition, anti-CD25 mAb treatment fails to both reduce the number of Thy1.1+ congenic CD4+CD25+ T(R) cells or alter levels of CD25 mRNA expression in treatment recipients. Taken together, these findings have far-reaching implications for the interpretation of all previous studies forming conclusions about CD4+CD25+ T(R) cell depletion in vivo.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
