IL4 blockade of inducible regulatory T cell differentiation: the role of Th2 cells, Gata3 and PU.1.

abstract：:It is well known that most physiological functions change with aging, including the immune response. Data concerning the aging of lymphocyte subpopulations are conflicting. The antigen density of peripheral blood lymphocytes has been determined by fluorescently tagged OKT-3, OKT-4, OKT-8, OKT-11 and OKM1 monoclonal an...
