abstract：:Type I diabetes (T1D) is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease characterized by loss of tolerance to islet autoantigens, leading to the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells. Peripheral tolerance to self is maintained in health through several regulatory mechanisms, including a population of CD4+CD25hi naturally ...

abstract：:Atopic disorders are caused by disregulated activation of T helper 2 (Th2) cells that produce IL-4 and IL-5. Because the presence of IL-4 potently augments the differentiation of naive T cells into Th2 cells, it is important to seek the cell population which provides IL-4 for naive T cells. Recently, a unique subpopul...
