Regulation of immune response by T cells
Article Abstract:
The regulation of immune response by the T-cells and the way they mediate the peripheral regulatory mechanism and intrinsic homeostatic mechanisms are examined. The T cells that are reactive with tumors express intermediate-avidity T-cell receptors, while the CD8+ suppressor T-cell pathway targets these antitumor T cells and interfere with successful induction of antitumor immunity.
