Many studies have supported that Regulatory T cell (Treg) activation may alleviate inflammation in allergic reactions [1, 2]. CD4+CD25+Tregs account for 5-10% of peripheral CD4+T cells in humans [3]. Tregs play a crucial role in self-tolerance, controlling autoimmune diseases and chronic infections by suppressing the activation, proliferation and function of Teffs. Tregs function via the cell surface molecule cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4, also known as CD152), as well as secreting inhibitory [...]
