I have briefly reviewed the factors that motivated me to change my views about the existence and importance of suppressor/regulatory T cells and to devote the majority of my laboratory efforts to this newly revitalized area of immunologic research. I am optimistic that manipulation of regulatory T-cell function will shortly be applicable to the clinic.
我简要回顾了一些因素,这些因素促使我改变了对抑制性/调节性T细胞的存在及其重要性的看法,并将我实验室的大部分精力投入到这个重新焕发生机的免疫研究领域。我乐观地认为,调节性T细胞功能的操控不久将应用于临床。
