Promiscuous Foxp3-cre activity reveals a differential requirement for CD28 in Foxp3⁺ and Foxp3⁻ T cells. [PDF]
Costimulatory signals by CD28 are critical for thymic regulatory T-cell (Treg) development. To determine the functional relevance of CD28 for peripheral Treg post thymic selection, we crossed the widely used Forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3)-CreYFP mice to ...

In vitro generation of regulatory T cells: A challenging tool for studying immune aging in humans [PDF]
In vitro induction of human regulatory T cells using standard protocols generates suppressive, Foxp3‐expressing CD4+ T cells independently of TGF‐β supplementation and donor age. Regulatory T (Treg) cells play a key role in immune tolerance and homeostasis.

FOXP3 expression in FOXP3+ tumor cells promotes hepatocellular cells metastasis [PDF]
Forkhead transcription factor 3 (FOXP3) is a key molecule for the development of regulatory T cell. Recent studies showed that FOXP3 was also expressed in tumor cells. This study is designed to identify the expression of FOXP3 and its pathogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Through immunohistochemistry, RNA extraction and Real-Time Quantitative ...

Foxp3: Shades of Tolerance [PDF]
In this issue of Immunity, Darce et al. (2012) and Bettini et al. (2012) demonstrate that seemingly subtle alterations in the interaction of Foxp3 with its transcriptional partners have a ripple effect on the outcome of autoimmune phenotypes, worsening some while ameliorating others.

T regulatory cells in cord blood--FOXP3 demethylation as reliable quantitative marker [PDF]
Regulatory T-cells (Tregs), characterized as CD4+CD25(hi) T-cells expressing FOXP3, play a crucial role in controlling healthy immune development during early immune maturation. Recently, FOXP3 demethylation was suggested to be a novel marker for natural

Expression of Foxp3 in colorectal cancer but not in Treg cells correlates with disease progression in patients with colorectal cancer [PDF]
Background: Regulatory T cells (Treg) expressing the transcription factor forkhead-box protein P3 (Foxp3) have been identified to counteract anti-tumor immune responses during tumor progression. Besides, Foxp3 presentation by cancer cells itself may also

Prospective validation of CD4 CD25 FOXP3 T-regulatory cells as an immunological marker to differentiate intestinal tuberculosis from Crohn’s disease [PDF]
Background/Aims Crohn’s disease (CD) and intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) remain “difficult-to-differentiate” diseases. We have previously documented peripheral blood frequency of CD4+ CD25+ FOXP3+ T-regulatory cells (Treg) as a biomarker to differentiate ...
