Regulation of autoreactive CD4 T cells is essential to maintain self-tolerance and prevent autoimmune disease. Although CD8 T regulatory (Treg) cells that recognize self-peptides restricted by Qa-1 (HLA-E in humans) inhibit autoreactive CD4 cells and attenuate experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the mechanism of this interaction is unclear. We generated Qa-1 mutant knock-in mice that impair Qa-1 binding to the T cell receptor (TCR) and CD94/NKG2A receptors. Analysis of these mice showed that TCR-dependent recognition of Qa-1-peptide complexes on target CD4 cells is essential for suppression by CD8 Treg cells. Further analysis revealed that genetic disruption of the Qa-1-CD94/NKG2A interaction unleashes robust CD8 Treg cell activity that completely abolishes development of EAE.
