B and T cell immune response to small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles in lupus mice: autoreactive CD4(+) T cells recognize a T cell epitope located within the RNP80 motif of the 70K protein.

abstract：:Constitutive expression of CD25, the IL-2 receptor alpha-chain, defines a distinct population of CD4+ T cells (Treg) with suppressive activity in vitro and in vivo. IL-2 has been implicated in the generation and maintenance of Treg, however, a functional contribution of the IL-2 receptor during suppression is thus far...
