Pathogen-specific regulatory T cells delay the arrival of effector T cells in the lung during early tuberculosis

The ability of the adaptive immune system to restrict Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is impeded by activated Foxp3(+) regulatory T (T reg) cells. The importance of pathogen-specific T reg cells in this process has not been addressed. We show that T reg cell expansion after aerosol Mtb infection do...
