摘要
OBJECTIVE CD4^+CD25^+ T regulatory (Treg) cells are a population of T cells which suppress an overactive immune system. CCR4 is a chemokine receptor involved in the recruitment of lymphocytes. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is resistant to immunosurveillance, owing to the increased number of tumor-infiltrating Treg cells which are recruited to the tumor bv CCR4.
