Subsets of proliferating bulk CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes express Foxp3 after anti-CD3 stimulation, with enhancement by added interleukin (IL)-2. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from eight healthy (HIV-1-uninfected) subjects were assessed for proliferation after stimulation with anti-CD3 antibody in the absence and presence of added IL-2. (A, B) Representative plots are shown for each of the four conditions (Uns = unstimulated; Uns + IL-2 = unstimulated with added 50 U/ml IL-2; St = stimulated by anti-CD3 antibody; St + IL-2 = stimulated with added 50 U/ml IL-2). Proliferation was determined by carboxyfluorescein succinyl ester dilution assessment by flow cytometry, with costaining of the CD4+ (A) and CD8+ (B) T lymphocytes for CD25 and Foxp3. (C) The results are summarized for all eight subjects. (D) Foxp3 were generally coexpressed in all analyses; a representative contour plot is shown to demonstrate coexpression.
