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 development and function of CD4^+^CD25^+^Treg cells. Though it is well defined that Foxp3 expression is sufficient to program CD4^+^CD25^+^Treg cell development, the physiological factors initiating intracellular Foxp3 expression remain poorly understood so far. In the present manuscript, we try to summarize the recent advances regarding the regulatory roles of T‐cell receptor (TCR), co‐stimulatory molecules, interleukin‐2 (IL‐2), transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) and beyond pathways on Foxp3 expression.

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

the authors want to correct the Methods section regarding the fixation/permeabilization protocols used for this study. The authors mentioned the use of 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) on pages 2 and 3 to resuspend the cells lasting the final step before flow acquisition, when in reality 1% PFA was used. F

## 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
