Angiotensin (Ang) II induces hypertension by mechanisms mediated in part by adaptive immunity and T effector lymphocytes. T regulatory lymphocytes (Tregs) suppress T effector lymphocytes. We questioned whether Treg adoptive transfer would blunt Ang II-induced hypertension and vascular injury. Ten-to 12-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were injected IV with 3 x 10(5) Treg (CD4(+)CD25(+)) or T effector (CD4(+)CD25(-)) cells, 3 times at 2-week intervals, and then infused or not with Ang II (1 mu g/kg per minute, SC) for 14 days. Ang II increased systolic blood pressure by 43 mm Hg (P
