  • Treg cells are immunosuppressive and generally suppress or downregulate induction and proliferation of effector T cells. (wikipedia.org)
  • Treg cells express the biomarkers CD4, FOXP3, and CD25 and are thought to be derived from the same lineage as naïve CD4+ cells. (wikipedia.org)
  • Because effector T cells also express CD4 and CD25, Treg cells are very difficult to effectively discern from effector CD4+, making them difficult to study. (wikipedia.org)
