Coexistence of regulatory B cells and regulatory T cells in tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte aggregates is a prognostic factor in patients with breast cancer
2019
Background
Tumors can acquire tolerance to tumor immunity and develop enhanced proliferation. Regulatory B cells (Bregs), whose role in immune tolerance is similar to that of regulatory T cells (Tregs), appear to be involved in tumor immunity. Recently, Bregs were found to induce Tregs against tumor immunity. However, the platform for the coexistence of Bregs and Tregs in cancer patients and its clinical significance remain unclear; thus, they were evaluated in breast cancer patients.
