Expression of interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-7 receptors discriminates between human regulatory and activated T cells
Open accessAbstract
Abnormalities in CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T (T reg) cells have been implicated in susceptibility to allergic, autoimmune, and immunoinflammatory conditions. However, phenotypic and functional assessment of human T reg cells has been hampered by difficulty in distinguishing between CD25-expressing activated and regulatory T cells. Here, we show that expression of CD127, the α chain of the interleukin-7 receptor, allows an unambiguous flow cytometry–based distinction to be made between CD127lo T reg cells and CD127hi conventional T cells within the CD25+CD45RO+RA− effector/memory and CD45RA+RO− naive compartments in peripheral blood and lymph node. In healthy volunteers, peripheral blood CD25+CD127lo cells comprised 6.35 ± 0.26% of CD4+ T cells, of which 2.05 ± 0.14% expressed the naive subset marker CD45RA. Expression of FoxP3 protein and the CD127lo phenotype were highly correlated within the CD4+CD25+ population. Moreover, both effector/memory and naive CD25+CD127lo cells manifested suppressive activity in vitro, whereas CD25+CD127hi cells did not. Cell surface expression of CD127 therefore allows accurate estimation of T reg cell numbers and isolation of pure populations for in vitro studies and should contribute to our understanding of regulatory abnormalities in immunopathic diseases.

The best accepted combination of surface markers for Tregs is high expression of CD25 and low expression of CD127.
“In terms of surface phenotype, the best accepted combination of markers is high expression of the IL-2 receptor α chain (CD25) and low expression of the IL-7R α chain (CD127) [134, 385].”
From Guidelines for the use of flow cytometry and cell sorting in immunological studies (third edition) (2021) · cites this paper as [385]
The Results and Discussion (pages not provided) identify CD25+CD127lo human T cells as a regulatory population and report that suppressive activity was restricted to that population in cord and adult blood. The paper supports the marker combination, but describes CD25 positivity rather than requiring high CD25 expression, and does not establish that this is the best accepted combination.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
