Figure Lengend Snippet: Percentage of CD25 + Foxp3 + T-cells analyzed by FC and results of cell migration. (A) Representative images of DCregs migration in the four groups (Crystal violet staining, Bars: 200 μm). (B) Comparison of the average migrated cell numbers of the four groups. Bars show the mean of migrated cell number selected randomly from five fields of view from each group, while the points show the migrated cell number of each field. Relative migration rate = Average number of migrated cells in experimental group/control group ×100%. * P <0.01, † P <0.001, by one-way ANOVA multiple comparisons. (C) The FACS plots showing the percentage of CD25 + Foxp3 + T-cells in each group. ANOVA: Analysis of variance; DCregs: Regulatory dendritic cell; FACS: Fluorescence-activated cell sorting; FC: Flow cytometry.
Article Snippet: CD4 + T-cells and CD4 + CD25 + T-cells were isolated using the CD4 + CD25 + Regulatory T Cell Biotin-Antibody Cocktail and the autoMACS Pro Separator (Miltenyi Biotec), following the manufacturer’s protocol.
