Abstract 020: Sex Difference in T Regulatory Cells After Adoptive Transfer From Hypertensive Donors Leads to Protection Against T Cell-Mediated Hypertension in Premenopausal Female Mice
Abstract:Activation of T cell-dependent pro-inflammatory responses are required for Ang II hypertension in male mice. However, females are protected from T cell-mediated hypertension and may suppress hypertension by directly preventing Ang II-induced pro-inflammatory T cell activation. Here we sought to determine whether transferring T cells from hypertensive donor mice eliminates female protection against T cell-mediated hypertension. Splenic CD3
