TNFRSF18 and cancer: For example, Treg populations with enhanced suppressive function due to elevated expression of inhibitory receptors such as glucocorticoid induced tumour necrosis factor receptor (GITR) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen (CTLA)-4 as well as increased production of suppressive factors such as adenosine and cytokines TGF-β and IL-10, have been reported to be elevated in cancer patients [29-31].
