Brief description An unfortunate consequence of immune function is that occasionally rogue immune cells are produced that attack the host and lead to the development of so-called autoimmune diseases such as arthritis. Normally a white blood cell called a regulatory T cell suppresses these self reactive immune cells. We have identified factors that govern genetic programs in regulatory T cells. Understanding how these factors work should permit the development of new strategies to combat autoimmune diseases.
