Induced regulatory T cells (iT(reg) cells) can be generated by peripheral dendritic cells (DCs) that mediate T cell unresponsiveness to rechallenge with antigen. The molecular factors required for the function of such iT(reg) cells remain unknown. We report a critical role for the transcription cofactor homeodomain-only protein (Hop; also known as Hopx) in iT(reg) cells to mediate T cell unresponsiveness in vivo. Hopx-sufficient iT(reg) cells downregulated expression of the transcription factor ...[more]
