51. (Journal Article): Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1-producing regulatory T cells induce Smad-mediated interleukin 10 secretion that facilitates coordinated immunoregulatory activity and amelioration of TGF-beta1-mediated fibrosis.

Kitani A, Fuss I, Nakamura K, Kumaki F, Usui T, Strober W
 
ABSTRACT: Interleukin (IL)-10 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 are suppressor cytokines that frequently occur together during a regulatory T cell response. Here we used a one gene ...

52. (Journal Article): CD4+CD25+ immunoregulatory T cells suppress polyclonal T cell activation in vitro by inhibiting interleukin 2 production.

Thornton AM, Shevach EM
 
ABSTRACT: Peripheral tolerance may be maintained by a population of regulatory/suppressor T cells that prevent the activation of autoreactive T cells recognizing tissue-specific antigens. We...

53. (Journal Article): The effect of age on insulin resistance and secretion: a review.

Muller DC, Elahi D, Tobin JD, Andres R
