## Abstract Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play an important role in maintaining immunological tolerance that is one of the main obstacles to overcome for improving antitumor immunity. Recently, the Treg has been shown to constitutively express OX40 (CD134), which is a member of the TNF‐receptor family
The specificity of T-cell recognition is dictated by the interaction of the T-cell receptor with MHC-peptide complexes. The biological consequences of such recognition is determined, however, by costimulatory pathway(s). Recent studies have led to the identification of receptor-counter-receptor pair
Three distinct subsets of T helper (Th) cells, Th1, Th2, and Th17, not only contribute to host defense against pathogens, but also cause many types of immune diseases. Differentiation and functions of these T cell subsets are mainly regulated by specific cytokines. Intriguingly, recent studies have
