Tr1 cells are considered an immunosuppressive CD4 T cell population producing IL-10. Here the authors show that IL-10 is insufficient for Tr1 immunosuppression, define surface markers and transcriptional program of the immunosuppressive subset within Tr1, and reveal its deficiency in patients with IBD.
