Fig 1 FOXP3 expression by PBMCs of patients with IPEX syndrome. Percentages of CD4+CD25+ T cells (lymphocyte gate) and CD25+FOXP3+ T cells (CD4+ gate) are reported. Stainings are representative of at least 2 determinations, with the exception of patients 8, 12, and 14. p, Patient. ∗Patients undergoing immunosuppression; †3 years after BMT.

Fig 2 FOXP3 expression on T-cell activation and in the intestinal mucosa. FOXP3 expression with (thick line) or without (thin line) anti-CD3 (aCD3)/anti-CD28 (aCD28) mAb activation of PBMCs (A) or CD4+ T-cell lines (B). Numbers in the plots represent percentages of FOXP3+ T cells (CD4+ T-cell gate). C, FOXP3+ T cells (red) were detected by means of immunohistochemistry in the intestinal mucosa of patient 12 (F373A).
