Investigation of the influence of CD4+CD25+ regulatory cells on the generation of tumour immunity in mice and human patients

A population of T cells identified as CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ (Tregs) are present in rodents and humans. These cells are vital for suppressing the activity of conventional self- reactive T cells. Previous work conducted using tumour cell lines has indicated that Tregs also suppress effective anti-tumour imm...
