The frequency of CD127(low )expressing CD4(+)CD25(high )T regulatory cells is inversely correlated with human T lymphotrophic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) proviral load in HTLV-1-infection and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis
BACKGROUND: CD4(+)CD25(high )regulatory T (T(Reg)) cells modulate antigen-specific T cell responses, and can suppress anti-viral immunity. In HTLV-1 infection, a selective decrease in the function of T(Reg )cell mediated HTLV-1-tax inhibition of FOXP3 expression has been described. The purpose of th...
