Figure 5. CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ lymphocytes from lamina propria.

Figure 5

Parenteral nutrition (PN) significantly reduces the percentage of cells expressing CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ compared to chow (38% ± 2.2 vs. 58% ± 1.9, p =0.01). Addition of bombesin (BBS) to PN (PN+BBS) significantly increased CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ lymphocytes in the lamina propria compared to PN (59% ± 2.3 vs. 38% ± 2.2, p =0.01). Values are means ± SE. Flow cytometry gating progressed from the preceding parent population in the order of lymphocytes, CD3+, CD4+CD25+, and finally Foxp3+.
