In situ prior proliferation of CD4+ CCR6+ regulatory T cells facilitated by TGF-β secreting DCs is crucial for their enrichment and suppression in tumor immunity.

BACKGROUND: CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs), a heterogeneous population, were enrichment in tumor mass and played an important role in modulating anti-tumor immunity. Recently, we reported a Treg subset, CCR6(+) Tregs but not CCR6(-)Tregs, were enriched in tumor mass and closely related to...
