Helios is a transcription factor belonging to the Ikaros family of Zinc-finger proteins. While its mechanism of action is still poorly understood, Ikaros family members are believed to regulate transcription by chromatin remodelling.


Recently, Ethan Shevach and others have demonstrated that 100% of CD4+Foxp3+CD8- thymocytes express Helios, while peripheral Foxp3+ cells are only ~70% positive. They further provide evidence to suggest that extra-thymically induced Tregs do not express Helios. Therefore, Helios may be a critical marker for distinguishing thymic "natural" Tregs from induced peripheral Tregs.

The program death 1 receptor (PD-1, also known as CD279) in an inhibitory receptor that plays a key role in peripheral tolerance and autoimmune disease. PD-1 contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) and an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif (ITSM) in the cytoplasmic region.

CD279/PD-1 is expressed predominantly on activated T cells, B cells, and the myeloid cells. PD-L1 (B7-H1) and PD-L2 (B7-DC) are ligands of CD279/PD-1 and are members of the B7 gene family.

Evidence reported to date suggests overlapping functions for these two PD-1 ligands and their constitutive expression on same normal tissue and upregulation on activated antigen-presenting cells. Interaction of CD279: PD-Ligands result in inhibition of T cell proliferation and cytokine secretion.

 


Interleukin 22 (IL-22) is involved in inflammatory and wound healing processes. IL-22 is produced mostly by IL-17-producing helper T cells. Recently, a new IL-22-producing human helper T cell population, Th22,  has been described, distinct from both Th17 cells and Th1 cells. Th22 cells may be important in skin homeostasis and pathology.

BioLegend offer a range of products to study IL-22:
