Abstract excerpt
Cytokine receptors expressed by CD4(+) FoxP3(+) regulatory T cells (Treg cells) not only serve as a phenotypic marker for the identification of this important population of immunosuppressive cells, they also promote the function of Treg cells. CD25, the α-chain of interleukin-2 receptor, is a prototype of such a receptor, which enables Treg cells to be activated by interleukin-2. We and others have found that...
