Multi - color Flow Cytometry Mini Panel for TREGs

Multi - color Flow Cytometry Mini Panel for TREGs
Tregs are a subset of CD4⁺ T cells with immunosuppressive functions. Their main role is to maintain immune tolerance, preventing autoimmune reactions and excessive inflammation. Tregs inhibit immune responses through various mechanisms, including cell - contact dependence, secretion of inhibitory cytokines, and metabolic interference. Treg research offers key insights into immune balance and has significant translational value in autoimmunity, oncology, infection, and transplantation.

Human Panel Recommendation 2

In human samples, CD25⁺CD127⁻ can replace CD25⁺FOXP3⁺ to identify Tregs, as FOXP3 detection requires nuclear membrane permeabilization.

Detailed Explanation of Each Antibody Marker's Function:

CD antigen

Cellular expression

Molecular weight (kDa)

Functions

CD3

Thymocytes, T cells

γ:25–28, δ:20, ε:20

Associated with the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR). Required for cellsurface expression of and signal transduction by the TCR

CD4

Thymocyte subsets, T H 1 and T H 2 T cells (about two thirds of peripheral T cells), monocytes, macrophages

55

Co-receptor for MHC class II molecules. Binds Lck on cytoplasmic face of membrane. Receptor for HIV-1 and HIV-2 gp120

CD25

Activated T cells, B cells, and monocytes

55

IL-2 receptor α chain

FOXP3

Treg,transiently expressed in activated conventional CD4+T cells (but has no inhibitory function),some tumor cellsmay abnormally express FOXP3, but its function is still unclear (controversial)

47-50

It is a core regulatory factor for Treg development and function

CD127

Bone marrow lymphoid precursors, pro-B cells, mature T cells, monocytes

68–79, possibly forms homodimers

IL-7 receptor
