Peacekeeper cells protect the body from autoimmunity during infection.

New research shows how a specially trained population of immune cells keeps the peace by preventing other immune cells from attacking their own.

Study provides a better understanding of immune regulation during infection and could provide a foundation for interventions to prevent or reverse autoimmune diseases.

Regulatory T cells constrain T cells of shared specificity to enforce tolerance during infection.

Instead of deleting all helper T cells reactive to self-antigens, you simply generate enough of these Treg peacekeeper cells instead.

"It's like flipping the idea of self-nonself discrimination upside down," says Savage.
