To confirm previously published data[9] that functional Tregs are present in the intestinal mucosa of IBD patients, we were able to sort sufficient numbers of CD25+/CD127- CD4+ T cells from the homogenized, surgically resected intestinal LPL of three UC patients, three Crohn’s patients, and one patient without IBD to perform in vitro suppression assays. Here, LPL is linked to inflammatory bowel disease.
