Inbred mouse strains exhibit different numbers of respiratory Treg cells. Analysis of Treg populations according to CD25, Foxp3, CD39 and CD127 expression indicates significantly increased CD4+ CD25high (A), CD4+ CD25high Foxp3+ (B), CD4+ CD25high Foxp3+ CD39+ (C), and CD4+ CD25+ CD127low/neg (D) Treg subsets in BALB/c mice in comparison to C3H and DBA mice. Results are representative for n≥ 5 independent animals per strain (mean ± SEM; *p<0.05; ***p<0.001).
