    TGFβ limits IFNγ signaling and increases T reg cell stability. (A) Immunoblot and densitometry of pSTAT1 Y701 , STAT1, and β-actin in T reg cells sorted from spleen and lymph node of a Foxp3 reporter mouse and treated for 30 min with IFNγ, TGFβ1, or both.

T reg cells were sorted from spleen and lymph node of a Foxp3-reporter mouse and then cultured for 3 d in IFNγ, TGFβ, or both. Cells were then sorted again to purify Foxp3+ T reg cells and then co-cultured in the suppression assay with CTV-labeled responder CD4 + cells.

(A) Immunoblot and densitometry of pSTAT1 Y701 , STAT1, and β-actin in T reg cells sorted from spleen and lymph node of a Foxp3 reporter mouse and treated for 30 min with IFNγ, TGFβ1, or both. (B) Quantification and Cell Trace Violet (CTV) plots of the proliferation of stimulated Thy1.1+ CD4 responder cells in the presence of suppressing T reg cells at the 1:8 T reg cell:responder ratio in an in vitro suppression assay.

T reg cells were sorted from spleen and lymph node of a Foxp3-reporter mouse and then cultured for 3 d in IFNγ, TGFβ, or both.
