IPEX as a Result of Mutations in FOXP3 [PDF]
Immunodysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome is a rare disorder caused by mutations in theFOXP3gene that result in the defective development ofCD4+CD25+regulatory T cells which constitute an important T cell subset involved in immune homeostasis and protection against autoimmunity.

Human CD4+ Memory T Cells Can Become CD4+IL-9+ T Cells [PDF]
Background: IL-9 is a growth factor for T- and mast-cells that is secreted by human Th2 cells. We recently reported that IL-4+TGF-β directs mouse CD4+CD25−CD62L+ T cells to commit to inflammatory IL-9 producing CD4+ T cells.

IPEX Syndrome, FOXP3 and Cancer [PDF]
In this review, we introduce the IPEX syndrome and its relationship with germline mutations of the FOXP3 gene. We then describe the multiple functional roles of FOXP3 in regulatory T cells and epithelial cells as well as in IPEX syndrome and tumor progression.
