Unregulated antigen-presenting cell activation by T cells breaks self tolerance [Immunology and Inflammation]

T cells proliferate vigorously following acute depletion of CD4+ Foxp3+ T regulatory cells [natural Tregs (nTregs)] and also when naive T cells are transferred to syngeneic, nTreg-deficient Rag1−/− hosts. Here, using mice raised in an antigen-free (AF) environment, we show that proliferation in these two situations is directed to self...
