The design of a gene chip for functional immunological studies on a high-quality control platform.

At-risk and recent-onset type 1 diabetic subjects have increased apoptosis in the CD4+CD25+ T-cell fraction.

Apoptosis of CD4+ CD25(high) T cells in type 1 diabetes may be partially mediated by IL-2 deprivation.

The role of NF-kappaB and Smad3 in TGF-beta-mediated Foxp3 expression.

Inducible regulatory T cells (iTregs) from recent-onset type 1 diabetes subjects show increased in vitro suppression and higher ITCH levels compared with controls.

The type of responder T-cell has a significant impact in a human in vitro suppression assay.
