description: Additional file 1: Figure S1. Over-expression MKL-1 and STAT5b increase the number of Treg in CD3+ T cells and enhance the Treg markers expression. A. Western blot analysis of MKL-1 and STAT5b protein level in CD3+T cells transfected with myc-MKL-1 or flag-STAT5b for 48 h. B. The number of Treg in CD3+T cells transfected with myc-MKL-1 or flag-STAT5b for 48 h by flow cytometry. C.
