| Core Tip |
This study investigates the effect of overexpression of fibrinogen-like protein 2 (FGL2) on T cell-induced colitis in mice. For these experiments, effector T cells (Teff) and regulatory T cells (Treg) were isolated from a newly generated line of transgenic mice that ubiquitously overexpress FGL2 (fgl2Tg). Following injection in Rag1-/- mice, fgl2Tg Treg were present in high numbers in mesenteric lymph nodes and were superior to fgl2+/+ Treg in preventing T cell-induced colitis. Fgl2Tg Teff were not capable of inducing colitis. This work is important in showing that the immunoregulatory molecule FGL2 may be useful in the treatment of colitis. |
