Abstract:The suppressive function of T-regulatory cells (Tregs) can have a detrimental effect on immune responses against tumor cells. Within the Treg cells subset, a new non-classical population has been reported, which expresses high levels of CD49b molecule and, depending on their activation status, can also express the canonical Tregs transcription factor Foxp3. In this report, we sought to characterize Tregs subsets in a murine melanoma model and disrupt the CD49b/CD29 axis by administering an anti-CD29 antibody i… Show more
