Despite intense recent interest, the suppressive mechanisms of regulatory CD25+CD4 T cells remain poorly understood. One deficiency in the field is the lack ofin vivomodels where the effects of regulatory CD25+CD4 T cells on antigen-specific responder T cells can be measured quantitatively. We describe one such model here. We compared responses of adoptively transferred naive wild-type antigen-specific CD4 T cells in syngeneic CD28−/− and wild-type recipient mice toward a nominal antigen. The cells exhibited a greater degree of proliferation and differentiation in CD28−/− mice and could not be rendered functionally hyporesponsive by systemic exposure to adjuvant-free antigen. The only reason we were able to find to explain this difference was the deficiency of regulatory CD25+CD4 T cells in the CD28−/− mice. Use of CD28−/− mice as adoptive transfer recipients provides a simple model that reveals the contribution of regulatory CD25+CD4 T cells in controlling antigen-driven responsesin vivo.
