Abstract
Expression of the forkhead/winged helix family of transcription factor P3+ regulatory T cells (FOXP3(+) Treg), a master gene of regulatory T cells (Treg) is observed in patients with autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). We investigated the usefulness of detection of FOXP3(+) Treg in the main duodenal papilla for differential diagnosis between AIP and pancreatic cancer (Pca).Firstly, we determined the cut-off value of FOXP3 expression in duodenal...
