This flashcard describes regulatory T cells (Tregs). It defines them as effector CD4 T cells that suppress other T cell responses, controlling immune reactions and preventing autoimmunity. It also mentions the two main types: natural Tregs from the thymus and induced Tregs differentiated in the periphery.
Células T efectoras CD4 que inhiben las respuestas de las células T y participan en el control de las reacciones inmunitarias y la prevención de la autoinmunidad. Se han distinguido varios subconjuntos diferentes, en particular el linaje de células T reguladoras naturales que se produce en el timo, y las células T reguladoras inducidas que se diferencian de las células T CD4 vírgenes en la periferia en ciertos entornos de citoquinas.
| Front | Effector CD4 T cells that inhibit T-cell responses and are involved in controlling immune reactions and preventing autoimmunity. Several different subsets have been distinguished, notably the natural regulatory T-cell lineage that is produced in the thymus, and the induced regulatory T cells that differentiate from naive CD4 T cells in the periphery in certain cytokine environments |
