Figure 2.
CD4+CD25+CD62L+ and CD4+CD25+CD62L- T cells express comparable levels of GITR on their surface but differ in the expression of other markers. C57BL/6 splenocytes were stained with anti-CD4 Cy7APC, anti-CD25 APC, anti-CD62L FITC, and PE-labeled antibody against the marker of interest and analyzed by flow cytometry. Two-dimensional dot plots of CD62L versus GITR, CD44, CD45RB, or CD69 are shown for CD4+CD25- T cells in the left and CD4+CD25+ T cells in the middle column. The histograms in the right column are overlays of the respective markers for CD4+CD25- T cells (shaded), CD4+CD25+CD62L- (bold), and CD4+CD25+CD62L+ Treg cells (fine). The gates for CD4+CD25- and CD4+CD25+ cells as well as the CD62L+ and CD62L- subsets are shown in the two top FACS plots.
