Springer Semin Immunopathol 25:295-310. 2004..This article reviews the recent progress on thymic-derived as well as peripherally induced regulatory T cells as they relate to atopy. The latter discussion also includes regulatory T cells that arise through immunotherapy...
CD25- T cells generate CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells by peripheral expansionMaria A Curotto de Lafaille
Molecular Pathogenesis Program, Skirball Institute, and Department of Pathology, New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY 10016, USA
J Immunol 173:7259-68. 2004..The maintenance of CD25 expression by CD4(+)CD25(+) cells depends on IL-2 secreted by cotransferred CD4(+)CD25(-) or by Ag-stimulated T cells in peripheral lymphoid organs...
Control of homeostatic proliferation by regulatory T cellsShiqian Shen
Molecular Pathogenesis Program, Skirball Institute for Biomolecular Medicine, New York University School of Medicine, New York, New York 10016, USA
J Clin Invest 115:3517-26. 2005..The presence of Tregs resulted in a lower accumulation of T cells, enhanced apoptosis, and impaired differentiation to a cytokine-producing state. We conclude that Tregs play a major role in the control of homeostatic proliferation...
Diesel exhaust particle-exposed human bronchial epithelial cells induce dendritic cell maturation and polarization via thymic stromal lymphopoietinBertram Bleck
Department of Medicine, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, New York University School of Medicine, 550 1st Avenue, Room NB7N24, New York, NY, USA
J Clin Immunol 28:147-56. 2008..These findings provide new insight into the mechanisms by which diesel exhaust particles modify human lung mucosal immunity...
Oral tolerance in the absence of naturally occurring TregsDaniel Mucida
Program of Molecular Pathogenesis, Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine, New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY 10016, USA
J Clin Invest 115:1923-33. 2005..However, unlike oral administration of antigen, which induced Tregs but not effector T cells, i.p. immunization led to the simultaneous induction of Tregs and effector Th2 cells displaying the same antigen specificity...
Unique maturation program of the IgE response in vivoAgustin Erazo
Program of Molecular Pathogenesis, Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine, New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY 10016, USA
Immunity 26:191-203. 2007..Our results have implications for the understanding of IgE memory responses in allergy...
Natural and adaptive foxp3+ regulatory T cells: more of the same or a division of labor?Maria A Curotto de Lafaille
Molecular Pathogenesis Program, Kimmel Center for Biology and Medicine of the Skirball Institute, and Department of Pathology, New York University School of Medicine, 540 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016, USA
Immunity 30:626-35. 2009....
Beta-catenin stabilization extends regulatory T cell survival and induces anergy in nonregulatory T cellsYi Ding
Molecular Pathogenesis Program and Skirball Institute for Biomolecular Medicine, New York University School of Medicine, 540 First Avenue, New York, New York 10016, USA
Nat Med 14:162-9. 2008..Thus, through enhanced survival of existing regulatory T cells, and through induction of unresponsiveness in precursors of T effector cells, beta-catenin stabilization has a powerful effect on the prevention of inflammatory disease...
Immune regulatory mechanisms influence early pathology in spinal cord injury and in spontaneous autoimmune encephalomyelitisMaria Cecilia G Marcondes
Program of Molecular Pathogenesis, Skirball Institute for Biomolecular Medicine, New York University School of Medicine, New York, USA
Am J Pathol 166:1749-60. 2005..Overall, our results suggest that common mechanisms regulate T-cell accumulation in CNS lesions of different causes, such as mechanic lesion or autoimmune-mediated damage...
Sequential class switching is required for the generation of high affinity IgE antibodiesHuizhong Xiong
The Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine, The Sackler Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences, 3 Department of Pathology and 4 Department of Medicine New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY 10016
J Exp Med 209:353-64. 2012..We demonstrate that a small amount of high affinity IgE can cause anaphylaxis and is pathogenic. Low affinity IgE competes with high affinity IgE for binding to Fc? receptors and prevents anaphylaxis and is thus beneficial...

Molecular Pathogenesis Progam, Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine, and Department of Pathology, New York University School of Medicine, New York 10016, USA
Int Rev Immunol 24:269-84. 2005..One of these relates to the stage at which regulatory T cells could play a role (i.e., T-cell proliferation vs. survival)...
