Inflammatory Cytokine-Neutralizing Antibody Treatment Prevented Increases in Follicular Helper T Cells and Follicular Regulatory T Cells in a Mouse Model of Arthritis. [PDF]
Background Follicular T helper (TFH) and follicular regulatory T (TFR) cells play important roles in humoral immunity. Nevertheless, their significance in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated.

Microbiota-derived butyrate limits the autoimmune response by promoting the differentiation of follicular regulatory T cells. [PDF]
Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic debilitating autoimmune disorder with a high prevalence, especially in industrialized countries. Dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota has been observed in RA patients.

Dysregulated follicular regulatory T cells and antibody responses exacerbate experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. [PDF]
Background Follicular regulatory T (T FR ) cells are essential for the regulation of germinal center (GC) response and humoral self-tolerance. Dysregulated follicular helper T (T FH ) cell-GC-antibody (Ab) response secondary to dysfunctional T FR cells ...

Decreased circulating follicular regulatory T cells in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
Follicular regulatory T cells (Tfr) have critical functions in inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. The main purpose of the current work was to assess Tfr cell frequency in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

Immunological dysregulation of follicular helper T cells, follicular regulatory T cells, and follicular cytotoxic T cells is associated with disease activity and identifies exploratory immune patterns in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
BackgroundThe onset and progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are linked to autoantibody production driven by dysregulated germinal center (GC) responses. Follicular helper T cells (Tfh), follicular regulatory T cells (Tfr), and follicular cytotoxic T

Foxp3+ follicular regulatory T cells control T follicular helper cells and the germinal center response [PDF]
Follicular helper (TFH) cells provide crucial signals to germinal center B cells undergoing somatic hypermutation and selection that results in affinity maturation. Tight control of TFH numbers maintains self tolerance.

Follicular regulatory T cells control humoral and allergic immunity by restraining early B cell responses. [PDF]
Follicular regulatory T (TFR) cells have specialized roles in modulating follicular helper T (TFH) cell activation of B cells. However, the precise role of TFR cells in controlling antibody responses to foreign antigens and autoantigens in vivo is still ...
