Abstract:
Regulatory T cells are a specialized subpopulation of T lymphocytes that play important roles in immunosuppression, maintaining immune balance and self-immune tolerance. The latest researches show that not only that FOXP3 + CD25+ CD4 + regulatory T cells (Tregs) are expressed in tumor tissues and peripheral blood of patients of various forms of cancers, Tregs also participate in the occurrence, development and prognosis of tumors.
