Isolated regulatory T cells (Tregs) are expanded in vitro using anti-CD3/anti-CD28 beads
(activation/proliferation) and IL-2 (survival). Polyclonal Tregs are reintroduced into patients
safely in graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), transplantation rejection, and type 1 diabetes
mellitus (T1DM) clinical trials. The expansion step provides a window of opportunity for in
vitro Treg manipulation to boost their function and stability, which are impaired in
autoimmunity.
