The transcription factor FOXP3 is essential for the development and function of CD4+CD25hiFOXP3+ regulatory T (T(reg)) cells, but also expressed in activated human helper T cells without acquisition of a regulatory phenotype. This comment focuses on glycoprotein-A repetitions predominant (GARP or LRRC32) recently identified as specific marker of activated human T(reg) cells, which may provide the missing link toward a better molecular definition of the regulatory phenotype.
转录因子 FOXP3 对于 CD4+CD25hiFOXP3+调节性 T(Treg)细胞的发育和功能至关重要,但也在没有获得调节表型的活化人类辅助性 T 细胞中表达。这篇评论重点介绍了最近被鉴定为活化人类 Treg 细胞特异性标志物的糖蛋白-A 重复为主(GARP 或 LRRC32),这可能为调节表型的更好分子定义提供了缺失的环节。
