Increased frequency and FOXP3 expression of human CD8 + CD25 High+ T lymphocytes and its relation to CD4 regulatory T cells in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
The mechanism of action of CD8 CD25 FOXP3 T cells in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been fully understood. Herein, the role of CD8 CD25 FOXP3 T cells in HCC was compared with that of CD4 CD25 FOXP3 regulatory T cells (conventional Tregs). Thirty-five patients with HCC and twenty age and sex-...
