Regulatory T Cells and Profile of FOXP3 Isoforms Expression in Peripheral Blood of Patients with Myelodysplastic Syndromes

Figure 3

Flow cytometry. Contour plots reflecting FOXP3 exon 1 and exon 2 coexpression in CD3⁺CD4⁺ cells (small plots) and CD3+4+FOXP3+ cells (large plots) from PBMC¹ of healthy age-matched donor (a) and primary patient with MDS (b). The red cross marks the medians of the corresponding fluorescent intensities in the total FOXP3⁺ gate. ¹PBMCs: peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
