METHOD FOR EX-VIVO EXPANSION OF REGULATORY T CELLS WITH ENHANCED SUPPRESSIVE FUNCTION FOR CLINICAL APPLICATION IN IMMUNE MEDIATED DISEASES

摘要

Methods for the ex-vivo expansion of CD4+CD25+ Tregs are disclosed. Further disclosed is a method for producing ex vivo expanded Tregs that may be used to inhibit unwanted human immune responses against self-antigens or allergens. Additionally, the ex vivo expanded Tregs may provide treatment for inflammatory/automimmune diseases.
