Expression of FOXP3 and IL-22 in ex vivo isolated human T cells. Human CD4+CD25- (Tnaiv) and CD4+CD25+ (Treg) cells were isolated from healthy donors (n = 6-8) using AutoMACS technology and were either stimulated with PMA and ionomycin for 4 h or left untreated. Cells were subsequently analyzed by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (A) Expression of FOXP3 normalized to median expression of resting Tnaiv. (B) Fold induction of IL-22 comparing stimulated vs. resting cells. The median and individual measurements are shown. Asterisk indicates p < 0.05 in a two-sided Mann-Whitney U test.
