CD8+ REGULATORY T-CELLS FOR USE IN THE TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATORY DISORDERS OF THE HUMAN GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT

摘要

The present invention relates to composition comprising an isolated CD8⁺ Treg cell population, wherein the Treg cells have signatures for i) identifying that the T-cells are CD8⁺ regulatory Tcells, ii) identifying that the Treg cells are tissue type tropic, i.e they can migrate to the diseased tissue, iii) optionally identifying that the Treg cells are tropic with respect to the diseased tissue, i.e. they are homing cells, iv) identifying that the Treg cells are emigrant cells, i.e. they originate from the target tissue, and v) optionally identifying that the Treg cells are capable of being retained in the target tissue and optionally one or more X-signatures and/or one or more Y-signatures.
