Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) possess immunosuppressive activities but the mechanisms of such activities are not fully understood. Here, we investigated the role of IL-6, one of the characteristic factors of MSCs, in the immunoregulating effect of hUC-MSCs on CD4(+) T lymphocytes.
