## Abstract Regulatory T cells (Treg cells) have been well documented to have a crucial physiological role in preventing the development of autoimmune diseases and keeping self‐tolerance. Foxp3, a recently identified member of the forkhead transcription factors, serves as a master regulator for the
## Background: Cd4+cd25+ regulatory t cells (tr) can prevent or treat experimental murine colitis but little is known about their potential role in human inflammatory bowel disease (ibd). foxp3 is a transcription factor that plays a critical role in the development and function of cd4+cd25+ tr. the
The transcription factor FOXP3 plays a key role in CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cell function and represents a specific marker for these cells. Despite its strong association with regulatory T cell function, in humans little is known about the frequency of CD4 + CD25 + cells that express FOXP3 protein
