Suppressive capacity of regulatory T cells (Tregs) derived from preterm infants on the proliferation of CD4+ CD25- T cells was significantly stronger after 4 days of co-culture compared to Tregs from term infants and adults. (A) Proliferation rate of CD4+ CD25– T cells after 4 days of co-culture with Tregs from adults, term and preterm infants in a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio. The positive control was generated without Tregs. Proliferation was determined via CFSE signal using flow cytometry. (B) Representative stagged histograms show the negative staining control (-CFSE) with beads, the negative proliferation control (+CFSE) without beads, and the positive proliferation control (+CFSE, +Beads) without suppressive Tregs (ANOVA followed by Šidák-Holm, p-values are presented in the figure).
