## Abstract A large body of evidence on the activity of regulatory T (Treg) cells was gathered during the last decade, and a similar number of reviews and opinion papers attempted to integrate the experimental findings. The abundant literature clearly delineates an exciting area of research but als
Stimulation of T cells by the T-cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 complex results in interleukin-2 (IL-2) synthesis and surface expression of the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R), which in turn drive T-cell proliferation. However, the significance of the requirement of IL-2 in driving T-cell proliferation, when TCR stim
