Regulatory
T Cells Tactful in Controlling Killer Cousins
Thirty years ago, a pair of researchers proposed that self-reactive T cells are
subdued by a population of suppressor cells. The whole concept of a suppressor
cell fell into disrepute, however, until the mid-1990s when a researcher identified
a certain kind of T cell that stopped self-reactive T cells from turning on the
body. Ulrich von Andrian and colleagues now have observed for the first time—and
captured on video—individual killer T cells mounting an attack, which regulatory
T cells indirectly halt.
