We read with interest the article by Ma et al. on how a high-fat diet reduced regulatory T cells (Tregs) in liver and influenced susceptibility to endotoxin-induced liver injury. 1 This interesting finding may also explain a previous report on increased sensitivity in mice with fatty liver to concan

## Abstract Recent studies have revealed that Foxp3^+^CD25^+^CD4^+^ regulatory T cells (Tregs), which are physiologically engaged in the maintenance of immunological self‐tolerance, play critical roles for the control of antitumor immune responses. For example, a large number of Foxp3^+^Tregs infil
We compared T-cell proliferative responses to acetylcholine receptor (AChR) and to purified protein derivative (PPD) (of tuberculin) of hyperplastic thymus, thymoma, and blood cells from patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). Hyperplastic MG thymus cells gave significantly higher and more consistent
## Abstract Since entering the immunological stage several decades ago, regulatory T cell biology has been realized as fundamentally important in the prevention of autoimmune conditions, induction of transplant tolerance and the immune response to cancer. The role of regulatory T cells in tumor imm
