Regulation of suppressive function of myeloid-derived suppressor cells by CD4+ T cells

Abstract

Myeloid derived suppressor cells play a critical role in T cell suppression in cancer. Here, we discuss the mechanisms of how MDSC suppress CD4(+) or CD8(+) T cells in an antigen dependent or non-dependent manner.
