4.1.11 What is one way in which regulatory T cells (Tregs) can reduce the anti-cancer immune response?
Tregs present antigen and suppress signals to naive T cells to prevent T cell activation.
Tregs express large amounts of CTLA-4 to reduce T cell activation.
Tregs secrete cytokines that recruit additional inflammatory cells to the tumour.
Tregs express large amounts of PD-1 to encourage T cell exhaustion.
