We assessed the frequency of regulatory T cells, Tregs (CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+) and IL10 production by CD4 T cells, and the frequency and IL10 production by regulatory B cells, Bregs (CD19+ CD24hi CD38hi) in 101 hip fracture patients (81 female) 6 weeks after injury and 43 healthy age-matched controls (28 female). The gene discussed is FOXP3; the disease is hip fracture.
