AUTOIMMUNITY

J Immunol (2021) 206 (5): 941–952.

  • SFB-mediated CTLA-4 reduction is associated with increased Tfr glycolytic activity.

  • Reduced Nur77, an indicator of TCR signal strength, is linked to SFB-reduced CTLA-4.

  • Nur77 deficiency causes an increased glycolysis and decreased CTLA-4 in Tfr cells.
