Despite intense interest and scrutiny focused on FOXP3 as a key protein and master transcription factor, isolating and enriching for viable FOXP3 positive cells remains a challenge. Although cell separation/staining via CD4+CD25+ selection is commonly used, this technique has limited applications. Thus, surface markers specific for FOXP3 positive cells would be invaluable research tools as they would:
• Facilitate isolation and purification of viable
Treg cells
• Distinguish naturally occurring
CD4+CD25+cells from both naive and
recently activated CD4+CD25-
nonregulatory T cells
• Allow therapeutic manipulation of
Treg cells
As the search for putative FOXP3+ markers continue, Neuropilin-1, GPR83, and FR4 have emerged as potential candidates. IMGENEX is excited to offer a panel of flow cytometric characterized antibodies against:
• Neuropilin-1 (clone 211H6.01)
• GPR83 (polyclonal)
• Folate Receptor 4 (clones 12A5 and TH6)
Flow cytometric analysis of intracellular FOXP3 (IMG-5802D) and cell surface FR4 with clone 12A5 (IMG-6217C) (left) and clone TH6 (IMG-6218C) (right) at 0.06 ug/10^6 mouse splenocytes.
Flow cytometric analysis of Neuropilin-1 in CD4+CD25+ human PBMCs using A) an isotype control and B) DDX0440 at 0.5 ug/10^6 cells. These antibodies are available in multiple sizes and conjugates.

Chelation therapy is a natural way to detoxify the body of toxic chemical and harmful metals (heavy metal poisoning). Chelation therapy involves the injection of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). It is a mean by which an organic substance (Edta) binds to minerals and ionized metals (electrically charged) such as iron, calcium, lead, copper, etc.

Think about the part of your body that takes the most abuse every day. It doesn't matter if you are jogging at the park, running on the field, or walking around the office, each activity puts stress on a major part of your body. The parts of your body that take a beating everyday are your feet and ankles. No matter where you go or what you do, as long as you are walking, running, or jogging your feet and ankles are the parts of your body that pay the highest price. Without the proper preventative care, many athletes end up injuring themselves in their foot and ankle area.
