Abstract

The effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) on apoptosis and production of IL-10 and TGF-β1 by isolated pools of natural T-regulatory lymphocytes (nTreg, CD4+CD25bright) and precursors of adaptive Treg (aTreg, CD4+CD25-) in the in vitro system was studied. As a result, we demonstrated that HCG induces apoptosis of nTreg and interferes with aTreg apoptosis, without affecting the production of IL-10 and TGF-β1 by these cells.
