Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The functions of regulatory T (Treg) cells are important in immunity, and the regulatory mechanisms of Treg cell activities are not fully understood yet. OBJECTIVES: We sought to investigate the role of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) 2 in the upregulation of Treg cell function. METHODS: The expression of insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R) on T cells was assessed by using flow cytometry....
