Specificity
Human Foxp3 (Mr ~57 kDa). Does not cross react with Mouse Foxp3. T regulatory cells (Originally called T suppressor cells) are a subpopulation of T cells. Their major roles are to suppress excess immune response of other cells and to maintain tolerance of self-antigens. Initially, researchers used CD4 and CD25 (IL-2 receptor) to identify T suppress subpopulation and purified CD4+CD25+ T cells were used for T cells Suppression Assay, however some other activated T cells also express CD25.1,2 The most convincible molecular marker of Treg cells is Forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3) which is expressed in the nucleus.3 Anti-Foxp3 antibodies are now widely applied to identify the roles of Treg cells in the development of many diseases, such as cancer, autoimmune disease, and organ transplantation.4,5,6 Scientists found that the over-activation of Treg cells may cause cancer cells to escape from immune surveillance 5. Conversely, patients with autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) have relative dysfunction of Foxp3 positive cells.7,8 Immunologists are trying to induce immune tolerance in organ transplantation using Treg cells.6

Test
MyBioSource supplies antibodies that are for research of human proteins. Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.

Gene
Forkhead Box Protein P3 scurfin FOXP3, is a protein involved in immune system responses. A member of the FOX protein family, FOXP3 appears to function as a master regulator of the regulatory pathway in the development and function of regulatory T cells. Foxp3 or forkhead box P3 or skurfin or scurfin or skurfina is also known as IPEX, AIID, PIDX, XPID and DIETER.

Properties
Human proteins, cDNA and human recombinants are used in human reactive ELISA kits and to produce anti-human mono and polyclonal antibodies. Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens). Depending on the epitopes used human ELISA kits can be cross reactive to many other species. Mainly analyzed are human serum, plasma, urine, saliva, human cell culture supernatants and biological samples.
