CD4(+)FoxP3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been shown to suppress T cell-mediated host immune responses against self- and nonself-antigens; however, the impact of CD4(+) Tregs on human antitumor immune responses and their influence on cancer treatment are unknown. In the present study, we explored the factors that influence CD4(+) Treg reconstitution in patients receiving adoptive immunotherapy following...
