Increased frequency of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in Foxp3-Cre GRfl/fl mice. (A) Flow cytometry analysis of splenic total CD4+ and CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells (expressed as a percentage of total CD4+ cells) from Foxp3-Cre and Foxp3-Cre GRfl/fl mice. (B) Example of ANA determination by immunofluorescence. Mouse sera were incubated with HEp-2 cells and the presence of ANA was determined by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. The sample on the left is ANA negative, while the sample on the right is considered ANA positive. (C) Presence of ANA in sera from 8 to 13 months old Foxp3-Cre and Foxp3-Cre GRfl/fl mice. Data are shown as mean ± SEM (n ≥ 7).
