Regulatory T Cell

Regulatory T cells (Treg), formerly known as suppressor T cells (Ts), are a subpopulation of T cells which modulate the immune system, maintain tolerance to self-antigens, and abrogate autoimmune disease. Mouse models have suggested that modulation of Tregs can treat autoimmune disease and cancer, and facilitate organ transplantation.
