Human LC isolation: Human skin abdominoplasty samples were collected with written consent from donors with approval by the South East Coast -Brighton & Sussex Research Ethics Committee in adherence to Helsinki Guidelines [ethical approvals: REC approval: 16/LO/0999). Fat and lower dermis was cut away and discarded before dispase (2 U/ml, Gibco, UK, 20h, +4°C) digestion. Foreskin tissue was collected from the Medical Male Circumcision HIV prevention programme in Cape Town, South Africa. Tissue was collected with consent and approved by the University of Cape Town [ethics approvals HREC: 566/2012]. Inner and outer foreskin was dissected and processed in an identical manner to the abdominoplasty samples. Migrated LCs were extracted from epidermal explant sheets cultured in media (RPMI, Gibco, UK, 5% FBS, Invitrogen, UK, 100 IU/ml penicillin and 100 mg/ml streptomycin, Sigma, UK) for 48 hours. Migrated LC were purified through fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). TNF stimulated migrated LCs were incubated for 24 hours with 25ng/ml TNFα. Antibodies used for cell staining were pre-titrated and used at optimal concentrations. A FACS Aria flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, USA) and FlowJo software was used for analysis. For FACS purification LCs were stained for CD207 (anti-CD207 PeVio700), CD1a (anti-CD1a VioBlue) and HLA-DR (anti-HLA-DR Viogreen, Miltenyi Biotech, UK).
