Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that xenogeneic stromal cell stimulation of naïve T cells resulted in the generation of a new type of regulatory T (Treg) cell termed HOZOT, which has multifunctional properties and a CD4/CD8 double-positive phenotype. Even after the establishment of HOZOT, stromal cells can function as an antigen-presenting cell (APC) by inducing these cells to produce interleukin (IL)-10. When compared...
