Regulatory T cells have crucial roles in immune homeostasis and response. A systems immunology approach can advance our understanding of Treg function and identify general principles of immune regulation.
Regulatory T (Treg) cells play vital roles in immune homeostasis and response, including discrimination between self-and non-self-antigens, containment of immunopathology, and inflammation resolution. These diverse functions are orchestrated by cellular circuits involving Tregs and other cell types across space and time. Despite dramatic progress in our understanding of Treg biology, a quantitative framework capturing how Treg-containing circuits give rise to these diverse functions is lacking. Here, we propose that different facets of Treg func-tion can be interpreted as distinct operating regimes of the same underlying circuit. We discuss how a systems immunology approach, involving quantitative experiments, computational modeling, and machine learning, can advance our understanding of Treg function, and help identify general operating and design principles underlying immune regulation.
