EFFECTOR TYPE REGULATORY T CELL DETECTING METHOD, EFFECTOR TYPE REGULATORY T CELL ANALYZING DEVICE, EFFECTOR TYPE REGULATORY T CELL ANALYZING SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM

摘要

In an effector type regulatory T cell detecting method using flow cytometry, a control sample containing a CD4-positive T cell population is measured, and based on a result of measuring the control sample, a FOXP3 level as a division reference for dividing a FOXP3-positive T cell population contained in the CD4-positive T cell population at a predetermined ratio is acquired as a reference value to be used for measuring a biological sample. A biological sample containing a CD4-positive T cell population is measured, and based on a result of measuring the biological sample, effector type regulatory T cells are detected from a cell population having a FOXP3 level higher than the reference value.
