Popis: Mutations that affect Treg cell function can cause lethal autoimmunity, but whether correcting these mutations can reverse established disease is unclear. Here, the authors correct Treg cell-specific Brg1 mutation in a minor fraction of Treg cells, which supercharges these cells to rescue mice from otherwise fatal IPEX-like autoimmunity.
