1 In the present study, we observed the cell levels, phenotypes, and immunoregulatory function of CD4(+)CD25(+)Treg cells in indirubin-treated mice. indirubin CD4 antigen Mus musculus
2 Treatment with indirubin significantly enhanced the ratios of CD4(+)CD25(+)Treg cells or CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+)Treg cells to CD4(+)T cells in peripheral blood, lymph nodes, and spleens (P < 0.01 compared with control mice). indirubin CD4 antigen Mus musculus
3 Treatment with indirubin significantly enhanced the ratios of CD4(+)CD25(+)Treg cells or CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+)Treg cells to CD4(+)T cells in peripheral blood, lymph nodes, and spleens (P < 0.01 compared with control mice). indirubin CD4 antigen Mus musculus
4 Treatment with indirubin significantly enhanced the ratios of CD4(+)CD25(+)Treg cells or CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+)Treg cells to CD4(+)T cells in peripheral blood, lymph nodes, and spleens (P < 0.01 compared with control mice). indirubin CD4 antigen Mus musculus
5 Furthermore, splenic CD4(+)CD25(+)Treg cells in indirubin-treated mice showed immunosuppressive ability on the immune response of T effector cells to alloantigens or mitogen as efficiently as the control CD4(+)CD25(+)Treg cells in vitro. indirubin CD4 antigen Mus musculus
6 Furthermore, splenic CD4(+)CD25(+)Treg cells in indirubin-treated mice showed immunosuppressive ability on the immune response of T effector cells to alloantigens or mitogen as efficiently as the control CD4(+)CD25(+)Treg cells in vitro. indirubin CD4 antigen Mus musculus
7 The selectively enhanced CD4(+)CD25(+)Treg cell levels by indirubin made host to be more favorable for immune tolerance induction, which opened one possibility for indirubin to treat autoimmune diseases. indirubin CD4 antigen Mus musculus
