Abstract

Regulatory T (Treg) cells are thought to be susceptible to conversion into effector T cells. In this issue of Immunity, Miyao et al. (2012) provide evidence that the apparent plasticity of murine Foxp3(+) Treg cells is largely restricted to a defined subset of poorly committed Foxp3(+) cells.
