HSP70 Enhances Immunosuppressive Function of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ T Regulatory Cells and Cytotoxicity in CD4+CD25− T Cells

Human CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ T regulatory cells (Tregs) control effector T cells and play a central role in peripheral tolerance and immune homeostasis. Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a major immunomodulatory molecule, but its effect on the functions of Tregs is not well understood. To investigate target...
