Figure 6. CCR5-/- and WT Tregs sorted from target organ–infiltrating cells are suppressive in vitro. Lethally conditioned recipients were given transplants containing WT TCD-BM and WT CD25- T cells, with column-purified WT/eGFP (black bars) or CCR5-/-/eGFP (hatched bars) Tregs or with WT/eGFP CD4+CD25- T cells (dark gray bars). GFP+CD4+ cells were isolated from spleen and liver infiltrates by flow cytometric sorting on day 14, from 3 mice per group. These were used in the indicated Treg/responder cell ratios in an in vitro suppression assay, as described in “Materials and methods.” (Note: From previous work [Figure 5], a significant proportion of GFP+CD4 T cells sorted from target tissues are FoxP3-negative cells. The indicated ratios therefore overestimate Treg numbers and should not be compared to suppression by freshly isolated cells in Figure 3.)
