Quantification and phenotype of regulatory T cells in rheumatoid arthritis according to Disease Activity Score-28

Here we studied and characterized different peripheral blood (PB) regulatory T cell (Treg) subsets in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and tested the hypothesis that changes in these cells can be linked to the degree of inflammation and relapsing/remission periods.
