Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Regulatory T (Treg) cell depletion-associated immune tolerance deficiency have been shown to play a key role in the pathogenesis of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). Treg cells mainly express the transcriptional regulator Foxp3 and are characterized by constitutively high expression of inhibitory coreceptor CTLA-4 . Herein, the aim of this study was to investigate the potential association of single...
