Abstract
To assess the potency of regulatory T (T reg ) cells induced against an irrelevant Ag, mice were orally vaccinated with Salmonella expressing Escherichia coli colonization factor antigen I fimbriae. Isolated CD25 + and CD25 − CD4 + T cells were adoptively transferred to naive mice, and T reg cells effectively protected against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), unlike T reg cells from Salmonella vector-immunized mice. This protection was abrogated upon in vivo neutralization of TGF-β, resulting in elevated IL-17 and loss of IL-4 and IL-10 production. Thus, T reg cells induced to irrelevant Ags offer a novel approach to treat autoimmune diseases independent of auto-Ag.
