Levels and function of regulatory T cells in patients with polymorphic light eruption: relation to photohardening
30 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that regulatory T cells (Tregs) are involved in the immunological abnormalities seen in patients with polymorphic light eruption (PLE). OBJECTIVES: To investigate the number and suppressive function of peripheral Tregs in patients with PLE compared with healthy controls.
