Tim-3+ CD4 T cells from TILs expressed high levels of Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and glucocorticoid-induced TNF-related receptor (GITR) whereas Tim-3+ CD4 T cells from NILs did not express high levels of these inhibitory markers (Figure 4A), implying that tumor-derived Tim-3+ CD4 T cells are functional Tregs. Here, CTLA4 is linked to neoplasm.
