A fraction of enriched PBMCs and enriched tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) were plated in a 96 well U-bottom plate and stimulated with Dynabeads Human T-Activator CD3/CD28 for T cell Expansion and Activation (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat #11132D) at a ratio of 1 bead:1 cell for 12 h in cMedia in the presence of protein transport inhibitor cocktail 500X (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat #00-4980-03). The samples were washed with 1X PBS, and underwent staining with Fixable Viability Dye (eFluor 780 Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat # 65-0865-14), followed by fluorophore conjugated antibodies specific for human CD4 (BV570 Biolegend, Cat 300534), CD8 (BV650 Biolegend, Cat # 301041), PD-1 (PE-Cy7 Biolegend, Cat # 329918) and CD3 (AF700 BD Biosciences, Cat # 557943). The samples then underwent fixation and permeabilization (eBioscience, Cat # 88-8824-00), after which they stained by fluorophore conjugated antibodies specific for human FoxP3 (Pac Blue BD Biosciences, Cat # 560460), IFNγ (FITC BD Biosciences, Cat # 554700), IL-2 (PE Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat # 562462) and TNFα (APC Biolegend, Cat # 502913). Manufacturer specified isotype control antibodies were used to determine positive signal and gating strategies. Data were analyzed using FlowJo Software (Tree Star, Mac version 9.9.4).

A fraction of enriched PBMCs and enriched TIL were plated in a 96 well U-bottom plate. The samples were washed with 1X PBS and underwent staining with Fixable Viability Dye (eFluor 780 Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat # 65-0865-14), followed by fluorophore conjugated antibodies specific for human CD45RO (BV570 Biolegend, Cat # 304226), CD8 (BV650 Biolegend, Cat # 301041), LAG-3 (FITC BMS), TIM-3 (PE Biolegend, Cat # 345005), CD4 (PE-Texas Red BD Biosciences, Cat # 562316), CD45RA (PerCP-Cy5.5 Biolegend, Cat # 304122), PD-1 (PE-Cy7 BD Biosciences, Cat # 561272) and CD3 (AF700 BD Biosciences, Cat # 557943). The samples then underwent fixation and permeabilization (eBioscience, Cat # 88-8824-00), after which they stained by fluorophore conjugated antibodies specific for human FoxP3 (Pac Blue BD Biosciences, Cat # 560460) and CTLA-4 (APC BD Biosciences, Cat # 560938). Manufacturer specified isotype control antibodies were used to determine positive signal and gating strategies. Data were analyzed using FlowJo Software (Tree Star, Mac version 9.9.4).

Measuring DC Activation by Tregs

This assay has been previously described (16 ). Spleens were collected from adult, sex-matched NOD/ShiLtJ or NOD-HLA-A2 mice and enzymatically digested (STEMCELL Technologies). CD11c+ DCs were positively magnetically isolated (STEMCELL Technologies). DCs were plated at a 1:2 ratio with Tregs and left to co-incubate for 2 days, at which point CD11c+ (SB780, clone N418, BD Biosciences) DC expression of CD80 (BUV395, clone 16–10A1, BD Biosciences), CD86 (BV650, clone GL1, BD Biosciences) and I-Ag7 (PacBlue or AF488, clone 10.2–16, provided by Dr. Brian Fife at the University of Minnesota) were measured by flow cytometry.

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.
