The role of N-glycans in regulatory T cells in autoimmunity
Carneiro, P; Vicente, MM; Leite, MI; Santos, ME; Pinho, SS; Fernandes, ÂRegulatory T cells (Tregs) have a key role in the maintenance of immune tolerance and in the prevention of autoimmunity. Recent studies have shown an association between decreased Treg frequency and a deficient suppressive activity with the development of many autoimmune diseases. Although glycosylation, which consists in the addition of glycans to proteins and lipids on the cell surface, is recognized as a cri...
