“…Two main types of T cells, including CD 4 + T cells and CD 8 + T cells, have multifarious anti-tumor abilities, of which the former has the ability to harmonize the elaborate immune interactions and the latter can identify the superficial peptides on cells and assault antigen expression cells [ 40 , 41 ]. CD8 + T-cell infiltration prospectively predicts disease prognosis; unlike other tumors, elevated CD8 + T-cell level is associated with poor prognosis in ccRCC [ 42 ]. Meanwhile, another immune cell type of CD4 + T cells, as a cell subset, playing a momentous role in the TME and keeping strong immunosuppressive traits called Tregs (CD25 + cells).…”
