Regulatory T cells expressing abundant CTLA‐4 on the cell surface with a proliferative gene profile are key features of human head and neck cancer

Abstract excerpt
FOXP3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells suppress anti‐tumor immunity. The suppression of Treg cells is regulated by cytotoxic T‐lymphocyte‐associated antigen‐4 (CTLA‐4), whose expression on the cell surface is tightly regulated. Here we found that Treg cells expressing abundant CTLA‐4 on the cell surface (surface‐CTLA‐4+ Treg) were expanded in human head and neck cancer tissues. RNA sequencing of surface‐CTLA‐4+ and...
