Figure 3. Helios could be used as a tTreg cell marker in both CD-1 and NOD mice.
The upper panel shows an example of the gating strategies for CD-1 lymphocytes in lower panel. Thymic CD4+CD8−CD25−Foxp3+ cells of CD-1 mice were further analysed for individual expression of Nrp1 and Helios in thymus and thymic glands of NOD and C57BL/6 mice were examined similarly (lower panel). Results are expressed as means ± SEM, from two experiments (n = 4–5 mice/experiment). *** denotes p < 0.001, unpaired t-tests were performed for comparisons.
