Core Tip	Evidence suggests that autoimmune inflam-mation may cause interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) in subgroups of patients. However, the role of regulatory T (Treg) cells in the control of bladder autoimmunity has not yet been identified. In this study we developed novel transgenic autoimmune cystitis models and demonstrated that Treg cells specific for bladder epithelial Ag play an important role in immunological homeostasis and the control of CD4+ T cell-mediated bladder autoimmune inflammation. Our results suggest that loss of functional Treg cells may contribute to IC/BPS pathology in subgroups of patients.
