Regulatory T cells secreting IL-10 dominate the immune response to EBV latent membrane protein 1

NA Marshall, MA Vickers, RN Barker - The Journal of Immunology, 2003 - journals.aai.org
Viruses exploit a number of strategies to evade immune recognition. In this study, we describe
a novel mechanism by which EBV, rather than avoiding detection, subverts the immune …

The soluble isoform of CTLA‐4 as a regulator of T‐cell responses

…, H Xu, MA Vickers, RN Barker - European journal of …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
CTLA‐4 is a crucial immune regulator that mediates both negative costimulation signals to T
