The clinical and pathogenetic value of Foxp3+ T regulatory cells in rheumatoid arthritis by A. S. Avdeeva, Yu. P. Rubtsov, D. T. Dyikanov, E. L. Nasonov

“…T regulatory cells (Tregs) play a key role in the immune system due to the suppression of a hyperimmune response to autoantigens and opportunistic enteric microorganisms. In recent years, there has been evidence that Tregs can suppress various immunoinflammatory responses to a wide range of physiological and pathological stimuli, including microorganisms, tumor cells, allogeneic grafts, and fetal cells.Tregs express a broad spectrum of membrane molecules that determine their functional activity and make it possible to identify these cells; however, none has discovered a universal surface marker that would distinguish this cell subpopulation from a pool of T lymphocytes. …”
