Adoptive T Regulatory Cell Therapy for Tolerance Induction

Abstract There is a clear need to develop strategies to induce tolerance without the need of chronic immunosuppression in transplant recipient and in patients with autoimmunity. Adoptive T regulatory cell ($ T_{reg} $) therapy offers the potential of long-lasting protection. However, based on results of clinical trials so far with ex vivo expanded autologous $ T_{regs} $ in type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients, it seems unlikely that single immunotherapy with $ T_{reg} $ infusion without immunomodulation regimens that promote stable donor $ T_{reg} $ engraftment and persistence would afford truly significant clinical benefit. Combination therapies could provide improved outcomes with consideration of the fundamental factors required for $ T_{reg} $ generation, homeostasis, and function to promote long-term donor $ T_{reg} $ persistence to provoke beneficial therapeutic outcomes..
