Abstract
Follicular regulatory T (TFR) cells are a population of CD4+ T-cells that concomitantly express markers for regulatory T-cells and follicular helper T (TFH) cells, and have been predominantly implicated in the regulation of humoral immunity via their suppressive functions. Rapid and robust progress has been made in the field of TFR cell research since the discovery of this subset over a decade ago. However, there is still a significant gap in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of TFR cells under various physiologic and pathologic settings. In this review article, we aim to highlight the most up-to-date concepts and investigations in both experimental animal models and human studies to provide a perspective on our understanding of TFR biology with particular emphasis on these cells in the context of disease settings.
滤泡调节性 T 细胞生物学的最新进展》(Current Advances in Follicular Regulatory T-Cell Biology)。
滤泡调节性 T 细胞(TFR)是一种同时表达调节性 T 细胞和滤泡辅助性 T 细胞(TFH)标记的 CD4+ T 细胞群,主要通过其抑制功能参与体液免疫调节。自十多年前发现TFR细胞亚群以来,该领域的研究取得了快速而有力的进展。然而,我们对 TFR 细胞在各种生理和病理环境下的表型和功能异质性机制的认识仍有很大差距。在这篇综述文章中,我们将重点介绍实验动物模型和人体研究中的最新概念和调查,为我们了解 TFR 的生物学特性提供一个视角,并特别强调这些细胞在疾病环境中的作用。
期刊介绍:
Immunology covers a broad spectrum of investigations at the genes, molecular, cellular, organ and system levels to reveal defense mechanisms against pathogens as well as protection against tumors and autoimmune diseases. The great advances in immunology in recent years make this field one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing in medical sciences. Critical ReviewsTM in Immunology (CRI) seeks to present a balanced overview of contemporary adaptive and innate immune responses related to autoimmunity, tumor, microbe, transplantation, neuroimmunology, immune regulation and immunotherapy from basic to translational aspects in health and disease. The articles that appear in CRI are mostly obtained by invitations to active investigators. But the journal will also consider proposals from the scientific community. Interested investigators should send their inquiries to the editor before submitting a manuscript.
