Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Foxp3 is a key marker of CD4CD25 regulatory T cells and appears highly specific for regulatory T cells. Human dendritic cells transfected with foxp3 gene also exhibit immunosuppressive functions. We want to understand whether natural killer (NK) cells could be endowed with regulatory properties by transduction of Foxp3 gene. METHODS: A recombinant vector (pRV.GFP Foxp3) or control vector (pRV.GFP...
