  • Patent number: 12146160
    Abstract: The present invention relates to regulatory T cell and uses thereof. By their immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory activities, regulatory T cells play a central role in peripheral tolerance and thus critically prevent the development of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. The inventors showed that Foxp3+CD4+ Tregs express high levels of LT?, which negatively regulates their immunosuppressive signature. The inventors have demonstrated that the adoptive transfer of Tregs previously incubated with soluble lymphotoxin-? receptor in mice protects from dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis. Thus, the number of cells to be injected in adoptive transfer may be reduced and a transfection or transduction step avoided, which represents a technical facilitation.
