Özet

The advent of new technologies in gene expression, immunology, molecular biology, and computational modeling studies has expedited the discovery process and provided us with a holistic view of host immune responses that are highly regulated. The regulatory mechanisms of the immune system lie not only in weakening the attacker directly but also in fortifying the defender for the development of an efficient adaptive immune response. This chapter reviews a comprehensive set of experimental and bioinformatic studies designed to deepen the current knowledge on the regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the context of Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs). Initially, we examined both membrane-bound Toll-like Receptors (TLRs) and C Type Lectin Receptors (CLRs); and cytosolic NOD-like Receptors (NLRs) and RIG-I like Receptors (RLRs) in Tregs. Then, we revisited the disease conditions associated with regulatory T cells by emphasizing the essential roles of PRRs. Expanding our knowledge and strategies on the regulatory mechanisms are likely to provide our best chances for long-term disease control and maintenance of homeostasis.
