METHODS FOR THE ENRICHMENT OF VIABLE FOXP3+ CELLS AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present invention is directed to methods of identifying and enriching for viable Foxp3+ cells and the use of such cells. In particular, the present invention provides methods whereby viable Foxp3+ cells are isolated from a mixed population of cells; Foxp3+ cells being identifiable as those cells with relatively high forward scatter as assessed by a flow cytometer.
