A central role for Foxp3+ regulatory T cells in K-Ras-driven lung tumorigenesis.
<h4>Background</h4>K-Ras mutations are characteristic of human lung adenocarcinomas and occur almost exclusively in smokers. In preclinical models, K-Ras mutations are necessary for tobacco carcinogen-driven lung tumorigenesis and are sufficient to cause lung adenocarcinomas in transgeni...
