Increased generation of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells by manipulating antigen presentation in the thymus

The degree of Treg self-antigen reactivity varies across experimental systems. Here the authors develop a new model of skin autoimmunity and show that the size of tissue-specific Treg pool in the thymus depends on AIRE, the availability of the tissue antigen, and its presentation by dendritic cells.
