In vitro suppression assays were carried out in RPMI/10% FCS in 96-well U-bottom plates (Corning, NY). Either naive splenocytes, CD3+ cells isolated from murine lymph nodes or leucocytes isolated from murine peripheral blood were utilized to perform three different sets of suppression assays. In all sets of experiments isolated cells were labeled with 5 μM CFSE (Molecular Probes), and activated in vitro with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 beads (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Condition media of polarized macrophages was added to the culture. After 3-5 days, cells were acquired by BD LSR Fortessa or BD FACS Symphony and the proliferation of CFSE-labeled CD8+ T cells was assessed upon staining with the following anti-mouse monoclonal antibodies: CD3 APC-Cy7 (clone B241616); CD4 PerCP-Cy5.5 (clone B240053); CD8 APC (clone 53-6.7).

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.
