Mechanisms of CD4+ T tolerance to a corneal epithelial neoantigen

Jeremías G. Galletti, Kaitlin K. Scholand, Jianming Shao, Eric P. Fujisaki, Prashant Kumar, Elizaveta A. Demianova, Elle Joy J San Juan, Laura Schaefer, Cintia Sade de Paiva

This study identifies inducible regulatory T cells as the mechanism for immune tolerance to corneal epithelial antigens, showing that this tolerance can be overcome by inflammatory priming.
