Low-dose IL-2 expands CD4+ regulatory T cells with a suppressive function in vitro via the STAT5-dependent pathway in patients with chronic kidney diseases

Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often have CD4+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) dysfunction and chronic inflammation. We aim to investigate the effect, function, and related mechanism of low-dose IL-2 on CD4+ regulatory T cells expansion in vitro from patients with CKD. Methods: A...
