Minimal histologic damage in the large intestine 5 days after cotransfer of CD4+CD25+CD62L+ Treg cells. Lethally irradiated BALB/c hosts received TCD BM or TCD BM plus 500 000 CD4+CD25- T cells alone or together with 500 000 CD4+CD25+CD62L+ or CD4+CD25+CD62L- T cells. Animals (n = 3 each group) were killed 5 days later, and a piece of large bowel was processed for standard H/E histology. Representative sections are shown at 1:40 magnification for recipients of (A) TCD BM alone, (B) CD4+CD25- T cells, (C) CD4+CD25- plus CD4+CD25+CD62L+ T cells, and (D) CD4+CD25- plus CD4+CD25+CD62L- T cells.
