The Decreased Treg Cells Number Associated with Retinal Lesion Size in Ocular Toxoplasmosis

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Introduction. The imbalance of the immune response is an important factor contributing to the incidence of ocular toxoplasmosis (OT). Regulatory T cells (Treg) play a key role in maintaining the balance between Th1 and Th17 immune responses, while interleukin‐27 (IL‐27) levels are related to the differentiation of Th17 cells.
