Upregulation of Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-Associated Protein 4 and Forkhead Box P3 Transcripts in Peripheral Blood of Patients with Bladder Cancer [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2021 Background: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a key role in the progression of tumors. These cells express forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4), which are the potential targets for cancer immunotherapy.

The role of regulatory T cells in autoimmune thyroiditis
Медицинский совет, 2021 Autoimmune thyroiditis is an organ-specific autoimmune disease caused by the activation of self-reactive CD4+ T cells. Regulatory T (Treg) cells are a population of T cells that play a central role in immunological tolerance by suppressing selfreactive ...

Off-Target Deletion of Conditional Dbc1 Allele in the Foxp3YFP-Cre Mouse Line under Specific Setting
Cells, 2019 The Cre-LoxP conditional knockout strategy has been used extensively to study gene function in a specific cell-type. In this study, the authors tried to engineer mice in which the Dbc1 gene is conditionally knocked out in Treg cells.
