The anti-tumoral effect was correlated with the generation of CD4+, CD8+ T cells, and CD44+ CD62L- CCR7low CD127low T-effector memory cells, and the reduction of CD4+ CD25+FoxP3+ Tregs, Arg1+ CD11b+ Gr1+, and Arg1+ and CD11b+ Ly6+ myeloid-derived suppressor cell populations within the tumor. The gene discussed is CD44; the disease is neoplasm.
