Abstract
Background and objectives: Neuropilin-1 (NP-1), a functional vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor, is important in the priming of resting T cells and contributes to the development of peripheral tolerance. Semaphorins, a family of axon guidance molecules, has been found to be involved in regulating the immune system.Keywords
