title: Transcriptional partners in regulatory T cells: Foxp3, Runx and NFAT.
abstract: A general theme in gene regulation is that transcription factors never function alone. Recent studies have emphasized this concept for regulatory T cells, a unique lineage of CD4+ T cells that exert active immune suppression and are essential to maintaining self-tolerance.
