Identification of secreted proteins that stabilise/destabilise Treg markers. (A) Schematic describing the concept of the Treg assay where FOXP3 and CTLA4 protein expression was used as an indicator of Treg stability. (B) Effect of proteins screened on FOXP3 and CTLA4 expression in Tregs at top concentration tested. The effect was measured as FOXP3 and CTLA4 Median Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) of live cells and normalized to Robust Z Score based on the on-plate PBS neutral controls. The blue dashed lines indicate the threshold for identifying hits based on ≥ 3 × Robust Z-score, or ≤ -3 × Robust Z-score of FOXP3 or CTLA4 expression.
