| Research Abstract |
Regulatory T cells (Treg) induced by retinal pigment epithelial cells strongly suppressed proliferation of active T cells and production of inflammatory cytokines by T cells. Furthermore, removing non-suppressive fraction of Treg exhibited much more intense suppressive activities. The suppressive fraction of Treg was capable of suppressing experimental autoimmune uveitis in mice. In human, Treg and suppressive fraction of Treg were induced similarly, but using pre-stimulation by TGF-b.These results indicate that Treg (or suppressive fraction of Treg) can be used for the treatment of non-infectious uveitis in human.
