Background T regulatory (Treg) cells are important in balancing immune responses and
dysregulation of Treg cells has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple disease …

Background Natural regulatory T (Treg) cells are implicated in the regulation of the
inflammatory response in patients with allergic asthma. Objectives We sought to determine …

Natural regulatory T (nTreg) cells are described by expression of a specific transcription
factor, FOXP3, on CD4+ CD25+ cells. They play very important roles in the suppression of …

Background Human regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a heterogeneous population which
consists of three distinct subpopulations: CD25+ CD45RA+ resting Treg (rTreg) cells; CD25 …

Our purpose was to determine whether numbers of CD4+ CD25+ T [T regulatory (Treg)] cells
and mRNA expression of functional molecules of Treg are related to airway allergy and …

Abstract Background In the United States, asthma prevalence is particularly high among
urban children. Although the underlying immune mechanism contributing to asthma has not …

Background and objective: CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells play an essential role in
maintaining immune homeostasis. In this study, we investigated whether the induced …

The immune system's correct functioning requires a sophisticated balance between
responses to continuous microbial challenges and tolerance to harmless antigens, such as …

Background T regulatory cells (Tregs) may play a role in the suppression of effector
lymphocyte activity in asthma. We hypothesized that Treg numbers would be increased in …

Background: Mechanisms underlying the association between asthma and obesity remain
poorly understood. Obesity appears to be a risk factor for asthma, and obese asthmatics fare …
