Figure 1: Gating-strategy of CD4⁺CD25⁺CD127^-T cells. Strategy for analysis of CD4⁺CD25⁺CD127^- T cells on fresh drawn blood-samples. % CD25⁺CD127^- were determined in the CD4⁺CD3⁺ compartment. CD4⁺CD25⁺CD127^- cells represent the T regulatory cells. Additional FoxP3 analysis was performed on CD4⁺CD25⁺CD127^- cells in representative patients.
