Article Title: TGF-β: Guardian of T cell function
Abstract: A fundamental aspect of the adaptive immune system is the generation and maintenance of a diverse and selftolerant T cell repertoire. Through its regulation of T cell development, homeostasis, tolerance, and differentiation, the highly evolutionarily conserved cytokine TGF-βcritically supports a functional T cell pool. The pleiotropic nature of this regulation is likely due to the elaborate control of TGF-βproduction and activation in the immune system, and the intricacy of TGF-β signaling pathways. In this review we discuss the current understanding of TGF-βregulation of T cells. Copyright © 2013 by The American Association of Immunologists, Inc.
