Because TGF-b induces FOXP3 expression in naïve CD4+ T cells and converts them to Tregs [19], while Tregs express cell surface or secrete TGF-b [20,21], this introduces the possibility that Tregs ... considered to indicate statistical significance Results Tregs and Th17 Cells Were Significantly Increased in MPE We first used flow cytometry to identify both CD39+ Tregs and Th17 cells in CD4+ T cells ... signed-rank test found that this subset ofT cells were almost FOXP3 positive (> 97%) (Figure 5A) and were almost CD127 negative (> 97%) (Figure 5B), possessing typical phenotypes of Tregs As shown...
