Conjunctival FOXP3 expression in trachoma: do regulatory T cells have a role in human ocular Chlamydia trachomatis infection? [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Trachoma, caused by ocular infection with Chlamydia trachomatis, remains the leading infectious cause of blindness and in 2002 was responsible for 3.6% of total global blindness.

Forkhead box P3 (FOXP3)-specific cytotoxic CD8+ T cells are present among human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), especially in cancer patients. Such T lymphocytes are able not only to specifically recognize dendritic cells (DCs) that have been exposed to recombinant FOXP3 and regulatory T cells, but also to kill FOXP3+ malignant T cells. The

Prostate cancer with different ERG status may show different FOXP3-positive cell numbers [PDF]
Prostatic carcinoma is the most frequent cancer in males in the Western world. A significant proportion of these cancers have a recurrent translocation involving ETS family genes, which leads to the overexpression of ERG transcription factor.

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 ...

Clinical Significance of FOXP3 Expression in BRCA1/2-Mutant Breast Cancer
ObjectiveTo investigate the potential significance of FOXP3 expression in BRCA1/2-mutant breast cancer. MethodsA total of 48 BRCA mutation carriers (16 with BRCA1 and 32 with BRCA2) and 78 age-matched non-carriers were included in this study ...

Effect of RUNX1/FOXP3 axis on apoptosis of T and B lymphocytes and immunosuppression in sepsis
Lymphocyte apoptosis is a latent factor for immunosuppression in sepsis. Forkhead box protein P3 (FOXP3) can interact with RUNX family transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) in regulatory T cells.

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

IPEX as a Result of Mutations in FOXP3 [PDF]
Immunodysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome is a rare disorder caused by mutations in theFOXP3gene that result in the defective development ofCD4+CD25+regulatory T cells which constitute an important T cell subset involved in immune homeostasis and protection against autoimmunity.

Human CD4+ Memory T Cells Can Become CD4+IL-9+ T Cells [PDF]
Background: IL-9 is a growth factor for T- and mast-cells that is secreted by human Th2 cells. We recently reported that IL-4+TGF-β directs mouse CD4+CD25−CD62L+ T cells to commit to inflammatory IL-9 producing CD4+ T cells.
