The effect of cyclosporin A on CD4~+CD25~+T cells in TCR-transgenic DO11.10 mice immunized with OVA / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the effect of CsA on CD4+CD25+T cells from DO11.10 mice after immunization with OVA.Methods:The amount of spleen CD4+CD25+T cells and Foxp3+T cells was detected by means of flow cytometry (FCM).Results:After immunization with OVA,the ratios of CD4+CD25+T cells to CD4+T cells and Foxp3+T cells to CD4+CD25+T cells elevated in spleen,but CsA significantly decreased the percentage of CD4+CD25+T cells and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+T cells under either naive state or immune reaction state.Conclusion:CsA inhibits immune responses,while it also suppresses immune tolerance.
