Abstract
Cellular adoptive transfer and mixed bone marrow chimera are cornerstone experimental tools for immuno-biology. Here we describe protocols for adoptive transfer and bone marrow chimera to address the effect of a specific mutation on T regulatory cell (Treg) function and differentiation, respectively. Treg function can be quantitatively measured by analyzing the expansion of conventional CD4 T cells and their differentiation into helper cells. The quantitative measure of Treg differentiation is addressed by analyzing the number and phenotype of Foxp3-expressing cells. The use of congenic markers is instrumental for these approaches.Entities:
