Functional and phenotypic analysis of CD4 T cell dynamics in peripheral blood of human visceral leishmaniasis patients confers increased frequencies of CD25 expressing regulatory T cells that contribute to disease pathogenesis
IntroductionRegulatory T cells (Tregs) have been reported to control immune responses in microbial infections. However, their possible role in visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has not been well defined. To address this, we carried out extensive studies to i…
