Abstract excerpt
Forkhead winged-helix transcription factor Foxp3 serves as the dedicated mediator of the genetic program governing CD25+CD4+ regulatory T cell (T(R)) development and function in mice. In humans, its role in mediating T(R) development has been controversial. Furthermore, the fate of T(R) precursors in FOXP3 deficiency has yet to be described. Making use of flow cytometric detection of human FOXP3, we have...
