Characterizing Foxp3+ and Foxp3- T cells in the homeostatic state and after allo-activation: resting CD4+Foxp3+ Tregs have molecular characteristics of activated T cells
Due to the intracellular expression of Foxp3 it is impossible to purify viable Foxp3+ cells on the basis of Foxp3 staining. Consequently CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in mice have mostly been characterized using CD4+CD25+ T cells or GFP-Foxp3 reporter T cells. However, these two populations...
