Spleen cells were prepared as described above. The cells were surface-stained with fluoresce in isothiocyan (FITC)-conjugated anti-CD4 (BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA, USA) and PE-conjugated anti-CD25 (eBioscience) to separate T cells. For analysis of the FoxP3, cells were fixed, permeabilized and stained according to the manufacture instruction for FoxP3 staining (PE-Cy5-conjugated anti-mouse/rat FoxP3 staining kit; eBioscience). To analyze intracelluar cytokine production, the cells were cultured for 48 h in the prescence of 2 mM monensin (BD Pharmingen) with 100 ng/ml phorbolmyristate acetate (PMA) (Alexis, Lausen, Switzerland) and 1 mM ionomycin (Alexis). After washed and blocked with Fc-blockade (CD16/32; BD Pharmingen) for 30 min, cells were directly surface-stained with PE-Cy5-conjugated anti-CD3e (BD Pharmingen) and FITC-conjugated anti-CD4. After fixed and permeabilized using the BD cytofix/cytoperm kit (BD Pharmingen), the cells were stained using PE-conjugated anti-IL-4 (BD Pharmingen) or PE-conjugated anti-IFN-γ (BD Pharmingen). Cells were analyzed (104 gated events were collected) using a FACSCalibur. Background fluorochrome was assessed using appropriate isotype and fluorochrome-conjugated control mAbs. Data collected were analyzed using FlowJo software.

Single-cell suspensions were prepared as previously described (Dou et al., 2018 (link)). For detection of NK cells and their NKG2D expression, cells were stained with FITC-conjugated anti-NK1.1 (BD Bioscience), APC-conjugated anti-CD3 (BioLegend), PE-conjugated anti-NKG2D (BioLegend) and corresponding isotype controls. For detection of NK cell-produced IFN-γ, firstly, 1.0×106 cells were activated in vitro with 2 μl Leukocyte Activation Cocktail (BD Bioscience) for 5 h at 37°C, followed by incubation with FITC-conjugated anti-NK1.1, APC-conjugated anti-CD3 for 30 min. Then, cells were permeabilized and fixed using Cytofix/Cytoperm Soln Kit (BD Bioscience) for 30 min, followed by incubation with PE-conjugated anti-IFN-γ (BD Bioscience). FACS was performed on BD FACS Calibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, NJ, United States) or CytoFLEX (BECKMAN COULTER, United States). Data were analyzed using FlowJo (version 10, United States). For analysis of NK cell infiltration, the lymphocyte population was gated from the general diagram of FSC-SSC. The negative control was then determined from cells stained with isotype controls. The location of CD3+ cells was determined by CD3-stained cells, and that of NK1.1+ cells was distinguished by NK1.1-stained cells. The percentage of NK1.1+CD3 cells in the population was recorded.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
