T regulatorisk cell (Treg)

T regulatory cell [ENGLISH]

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a specialized subpopulation of T cells that act to suppress immune response, thereby maintaining homeostasis and self-tolerance. It has been shown that Tregs are able to inhibit T cell proliferation and cytokine production and play a critical role in preventing autoimmunity.

T regulatorisk cell [SWEDISH]

Regulatoriska T-celler (Treg-celler), tidigare känd som suppressor-T-celler, är av avgörande betydelse för upprätthållande av immunologisk tolerans. Deras viktigaste uppgift är att stänga av cell-medierad immunitet i slutet av en immunreaktion och att undertrycka auto-reaktiva T-celler som undkommit processen för negativt urval i brässen. Två stora klasser av CD4+ regulatoriska T-celler har beskrivits; Naturligt förekommande T-reg-celler samt adaptiva Treg-celler. Naturligt förekommande Treg-celler (även kallade CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3+ Treg-celler) uppkommer i brässen, medan adaptiva Treg-celler (även känd som Tr1-celler eller Th3-celler) kan uppkomma under en normal immunrespons.
