Nachweis FOXP3 positiver Zellen im Nierenzellkarzinom als Hinweis auf das Vorliegen einer Infiltration durch regulatorische T-Zellen

Regulatorische T-Zellen tragen als aktive Immunregulatoren wesentlich zum Erhalt des immunologischen Gleichgewichts bei. Durch immunsuppressive Mechanismen induzieren sie Toleranz gegenüber Selbst-Antigenen und schützen den Organismus so vor Autoimmunität und überschießender Immunreaktion. Intensi...
