ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Regulatory T Cells in a Spectrum of HPV‐Induced Cervical Lesions: Cervicitis, Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia and Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Abstract

Cervical tumors are marked by the presence of an immunoregulatory environment, and harbor equal proportions of 'inactive' n Tregs; activated n Tregs; and Tregs operating via TGFbeta. nTregs in cervicitis and CIN may be a potential marker of persistence.
