There is now compelling evidence that immune responses for both foreign and self antigens are downregulated by T cells that are specialised for this function; these are known as regulatory T (T reg) cells. This review describes progress in the characterisation of the T reg cells that mediate both mu

## Abstract Recent studies have revealed that Foxp3^+^CD25^+^CD4^+^ regulatory T cells (Tregs), which are physiologically engaged in the maintenance of immunological selfβtolerance, play critical roles for the control of antitumor immune responses. For example, a large number of Foxp3^+^Tregs infil
ΓΎ CD25 ΓΎ regulatory T (T R ) cells are essential negative regulators of multiple immune functions. Their development and function are critically dependent on the forkhead transcription factor Foxp3. IL-2R-derived signals are also required for their maturation and/or proliferation. Expression of the
