FOXP3+ Regulatory T Cells Require TBET to Regulate Activated CD8+ T Cells During Recovery from Influenza Infection

Nurbek Mambetsariev, Manuel A. Torres Acosta, Qianli Liu, Carla P. Reyes Flores, Anthony M. Joudi, Kathryn A. Helmin, Jonathan K. Gurkan, Elizabeth M. Steinert, Luisa Morales‐Nebreda, Benjamin David Singer

This study shows that FOXP3+ Treg cells use TBET to control activated CD8+ T cells during influenza recovery, but not Trm cell generation.
