Reduced number of CD4+/CD25bright regulatory T cells and increased Fas expression in ITP. Flow cytometric analysis of CD25 on CD3+/CD4+ T-helper cells and Fas on CD3+ T cells in peripheral blood (A,B) and bone marrow (C,D) from ITP patients (n = 6) and controls (n = 8). The results are given as percentage of T cells expressing CD25 and Fas. Data are presented as means (± SEM).
