BACKGROUND: Induction of endogenous regulatory T (Treg) cells represents an exciting
new potential modality for treating allergic diseases, such as asthma. Treg cells have been
implicated in the regulation of asthma, but the anatomic location in which they exert their
regulatory function and the mechanisms controlling the migration necessary for their
suppressive function in asthma are not known. Understanding these aspects of Treg cell
biology will be important for harnessing their power in the clinic. OBJECTIVE: We sought to …
