Immunomodulatory effects of iTr35 cell subpopulation and its research progress

Clin Exp Med. 2024 Feb 22;24(1):41. doi: 10.1007/s10238-024-01303-5.

Abstract

The spotlight in recent years has increasingly focused on inducible regulatory T cells 35 (iTr35), a novel subpopulation of regulatory T cells characterized by phenotypic stability, heightened reactivity, and potent immunosuppressive function through the production of IL-35. Despite being in the exploratory phase, research on iTr35 has garnered significant interest. In this review, we aim to consolidate our understanding of the biological characteristics and immunomodulatory mechanisms of iTr35, offering fresh perspectives that may pave the way for its potential applications in disease diagnosis and treatment.

Keywords: Immunomodulation; Induced regulatory T cells 35; Interleukin 35.
