Flow cytometric analysis of Mouse CD25 expression on BALB/c mouse splenocytes. BALB/c mouse splenocytes were stained with Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat Anti-Mouse CD4 Antibody and either Alexa Fluor® 647 Rat IgG2a, κ or SDT PE Rat Anti-Mouse CD25 Antibody (Right panel) at 5 μl/test. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using BD FACSymphony™ A1 and FlowJo™ software.

Background
CD25, also known as the interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain (IL2RA), is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in the immune system. It is primarily expressed on the surface of activated T cells and regulatory T cells (Tregs). CD25 is a key component of the high-affinity IL-2 receptor complex, which also includes the IL-2 receptor beta and gamma chains. By itself, CD25 can bind IL-2 with low affinity, but when combined with the beta and gamma chains, it forms a high-affinity receptor that initiates intracellular signaling pathways such as MAPK and JAK/STAT. This receptor complex is essential for the proliferation and activation of T cells, as well as the regulation of immune tolerance by controlling the activity of Tregs. Mutations in the IL2RA gene can lead to deficiencies in IL-2 receptor function, highlighting its importance in maintaining immune homeostasis.
