NEGATIVE REGULATION IN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM • Decrease of antigen concentration in the course of the immune response • Inhibition of B lymphocyte activation - antibody feedback • Cross linking of BCR with FcRIIB (CD32) by antigen-antibody complex • ITIM-induced negative signaling of B cell activation - phosphatases • B cells without T cell help are excluded from follicles • Death of activated T lymphocytes • Passive cell death mediated by the shortage in survival factors (cytokines) • Activation induced FasL expression sensitizes activated T cells for Fas- • mediated apoptosis (AICD) • Activation induced cell death (AICD) is induced by repeated antigenic stimulation • 4. Inhibition T lymphocyte activation • Anergy of CD4+ T lymphocytes • Late in the immune response activated T cells express CTLA-4, the ligand of B7 • Suppression by regulatory T lymphocytes • Counter regulation of Th1 and Th2 cytokines • Production of suppressive cytokines • IL-10 inhibits APC function such as IL-12 secretion and B7 expression • TGF inhibits T-cell proliferation • IL-4 inhibits IFN-mediated functions • IL-10 and TGF inhibit macrophage activation

FUNCTIONS OF REGULATORY T CELLS • Maintenance of peripheral tolerance • Prevention of autoimmunity • Limiting inflammatory processes (asthma, inflammatory bowel diseases) • Inhibit protection against infectious diseases • Limit immune responses to tumors MECHANISM Intrinsic and extrinsic regulation Various inhibitory mechanisms Cell contacts – Cytokines Interaction with the target effector T cells

THE ROLE OF IL-35 IN THE FUNCTION OF REGULATORY T CELLS Initial T cell activation Sensed by Treg cells Increased suppressive mechanisms • The molecular patterns of activated Treg cells are different in the presence and absence of effector cells • The expression of EBI3 and IL-12α/p35 (IL-35) subunits is increased in the presence of effector T cells • Treg cells in contact with effector cell act also on effector cells out of contact through IL-35 Induced capability, the effector cell is involved NOT ONLY A FUNCTION
