A fine balance is needed for Treg cells to enable immune responses to pathogens without triggering autoimmunity. Data now show that thymus-derived self-peptide-specific Treg cells suppress conventional T cells during infection, but enable immune responses to pathogen-derived peptides, thus promoting self–nonself discrimination.
