Regulatory T cell proliferative potential as novel marker to investigate immune tolerance and clinical progression in Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]
In autoimmune disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) one of the determining alteration is the breakdown of self-antigen immune-tolerance. Peripheral immune tolerance is maintained, at least in part, by Regulatory T cells (Treg).

CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T Cells and CD4+CD25−Foxp3+ T Cells in Aged Mice [PDF]
Abstract Aging is associated with a progressive decline in T cell-mediated immune responses. However, it has been unknown whether regulatory/suppressive CD4 T cells are involved in this decline. Our in vitro analyses revealed that CD4+CD25+ T cells, the well-characterized naturally occurring regulatory/suppressive CD4 T cells, in aged ...

Tolerance without clonal expansion: Self-antigen-expressing B cells program self-reactive T cells for future deletion [PDF]
B cells have been shown in various animal models to induce immunological tolerance leading to reduced immune responses and protection from autoimmunity.

Typically, CD25 is expressed on the cellular surface of regulatory T (Treg) cells. These cells are significant in regulating the self-tolerance and also preventing the immune system from attacking a person’s own tissues and cells. They promote the cancer

The ratios of CD8+ T cells to CD4+CD25+ FOXP3+ and FOXP3- T cells correlate with poor clinical outcome in human serous ovarian cancer. [PDF]
Ovarian cancer is an immune reactive malignancy with a complex immune suppressive network that blunts successful immune eradication. This suppressive microenvironment may be mediated by recruitment or induction of CD4(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs).

Combination immunotherapy induces distinct T-cell repertoire responses when administered to patients with different malignancies. [PDF]
BackgroundCTLA-4 blockade with ipilimumab is Food and Drug Administration-approved for melanoma as a monotherapy and has been shown to modulate the circulating T-cell repertoire.

Regulation of immune response by permafrost microorganism metabolites via effector T-lymphocytes
Infectious agents have closely interacted with the human immune system, acquiring a set of highly sophisticated mechanisms for modulating immunity. One of the survival strategies for viruses, bacteria, protozoa, helminths and fungi is to target the ...

Generation and Immune Regulation of CD4+CD25−Foxp3+ T Cells in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
The imbalance of CD4+Foxp3+ T cell subsets is reportedly involved in abnormal inflammatory immune responses in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Differential responses of human regulatory T cells (Treg) and effector T cells to rapamycin. [PDF]
The immunosuppressive drug rapamycin (RAPA) promotes the expansion of CD4(+) CD25(high)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells via mechanisms that remain unknown. Here, we studied expansion, IL-2R-gamma chain signaling, survival pathways and resistance to apoptosis ...
