Pancreatic lymph nodes (pLN) and spleen were harvested from NOD8.3 mice and prepared as single-cell suspensions. Cell surface markers were assessed by staining the cells with pacific-blue conjugated anti-CD4 (558107), PerCP conjugated anti-CD8 (561092), to allophycocynin conjugated anti-CD44 (559250), fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugated anti-CD62 (561917), PECy7 conjugated anti-CD25 (552880), PECy7 conjugated CD19 (552854), APCCy7 conjugated anti-B220 (552094), PE conjugated anti-CD11b (553311), Pacific Orange-conjugated streptavidin against biotin-conjugated anti-CD11c (553800) (all antibodies 1:400; BD Bioscience). Intracellular staining with Foxp3 (560409; BD Biosciences) was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Flow cytometry was performed on FACSCanto II (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA, USA) and data was analyzed with Flowjo analysis software (v10.0.8; BD Bioscience). Cells were gated on total lymphocytes and the plot was either gated on CD8+ and CD4+, CD19+ and B220+, or quadrant gates for CD11c and CD11b to determine CD11c+CD11b+ and CD11c+CD11b sub-populations. The positive CD8 or CD4 cells were gated for additional activation markers CD44 and CD62L and Treg markers CD25 and Foxp3 (for the CD4+ population). Proportions were calculated as percentages of total live cells in each gated box, according to the parent gate.

Characterizing T Cell Adhesion and Chemokine Expression

Whole blood and MLNs were used to analyze adhesion molecule- and chemokine receptor-expressing T cells. Whole blood and MLN cells obtained as described above were split into 2 vials with 100 μL in each aliquot, and these were incubated with Pacific blue-conjugated anti-CD4 (BD Biosciences) or Pacific blue-conjugated anti-CD8 antibodies (Biolegend). To investigate expressions of adhesion molecules and chemokine receptors, PE-conjugated anti-PSGL-1 antibodies (BD Biosciences), APC-conjugated anti-α4β7 integrin, FITC-conjugated anti-CD11a, and PerCP-Cy5.5-conjugated anti-CCR9 (Biolegend) were added. Stained cells were analyzed by five-color flow cytometry. Lymphocytes were gated on the basis of their forward- and side-scatter profiles. Fluorescence data were recorded, and results are presented as percentages of adhesion molecule- and chemokine receptor-expressing CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes. Representative flow cytometry plots are shown in Figure 2(c).

Phenotypic Analysis of T Helper Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the phenotypes of Th cells, 100 μL aliquots of blood were incubated with a Pacific blue-conjugated anti-CD4 (BD Biosciences) Ab, fixed, and then permeated for intracellular cytokine staining. The following Abs were used for intracellular cytokine staining: Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-interleukin- (IL-) 4 (Biolegend), APC-conjugated anti-interferon- (IFN-) γ (BD Biosciences), and PE-conjugated anti-IL-17A (Biolegend) Abs. To analyze Treg, 100 μL aliquots of blood were incubated with Pacific blue-conjugated anti-CD4 and APC-conjugated anti-CD25 (eBioscience) Abs. After incubation for 30 min, leukocytes were fixed and permeated with Foxp3 staining buffer (eBioscience). PE-conjugated anti-Foxp3 (Biolegend) Abs were then added for the intracellular staining of Foxp3.
After staining, red blood cells were lysed, and leukocytes were analyzed by flow cytometry. CD4-positive lymphocytes were gated on the basis of low forward and side scatter. Phenotypes of Th cells are presented as percentages of Th-associated cytokine-expressing cells in CD4-positive lymphocytes. Treg populations are presented as a percentage of CD25/Foxp3 double-positive cells in gated CD4-expressing lymphocytes.

To determine the phenotypes of Th cells, 100 μL aliquots of blood were incubated with Pacific blue-conjugated anti-CD4 (BD Biosciences), fixed and then permeated for intracellular cytokine staining. The following Abs were used for intracellular cytokine staining: Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-IL-4 (Biolegend), APC-conjugated anti-interferon (IFN)-γ (BD Biosciences) and PE-conjugated anti-IL-17A (Biolegend) Abs. For analyzing the Treg subset, leukocytes were incubated with Pacific blue-conjugated anti-CD4 and APC-conjugated anti-CD25 (eBioscience) Abs. After incubation for 30 min, leukocytes were fixed and permeated with Foxp3 staining buffer (eBioscience). PE-conjugated anti-Foxp3 (Biolegend) Abs were then added to stain for intracellular Foxp3. After RBCs were lysed, the leukocytes were stained and analyzed by flow cytometry. CD4-positive lymphocytes were gated on the basis of low forward and side scatter. Phenotypes of Th cells are presented as percentages of Th-associated cytokine-expressing cells in CD4-positive lymphocytes. The Treg population is presented as a percentage of CD25/Foxp3 double-positive cells in gated CD4-expressing lymphocytes.

After washing in PBS containing 0·1% BSA, PBMCs were stained with Alexa-700-conjugated anti-CD3 (BD Biosciences Cat# 557943, RRID:AB_396952), Pacific Blue-conjugated anti-CD4 (BD Biosciences Cat# 558116, RRID:AB_397037), allophycocyanin (APC)-H7-conjugated anti-CD8 (BD Biosciences Cat# 560179, RRID:AB_1645481), PerCP-Cy5·5-conjugated anti-CD45RA (BD Biosciences Cat# 563429, RRID:AB_2738199), phycoerythrin (PE)-conjugated anti-CCR7 (BioLegend Cat# 353203, RRID:AB_10916391), FITC-conjugated anti-CD127 (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat# 11-1278-42, RRID:AB_1907342), and PE-Cy7-conjugated anti-CD25 (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat# A15857, RRID:AB_2534627). Then, cells were fixed and permeabilized using FOXP3 staining buffer set (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat# 00-5523-00), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were then stained with APC-conjugated anti-FOXP3 (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat# 17-4776-41, RRID:AB_1603281) and acquired on a FACS Aria III (BD Biosciences) running FACS Diva v8 software (Becton Dickinson). Data were analyzed using Kaluza v1·3 (Beckman Coulter).

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.
