Cell suspensions of uterine tissues were prepared using either mechanical dissociation followed by centrifugation through a Lympholyte M (Cedarlane) gradient according to the manufacturers recommendations or by enzymatic digestion using Liberase TM (Roche) as described previously (Collins et al., 2009 (link)). Cells were typed using fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies with specificity for CD45 (30-F11), NK1.1 (PK138), CD11b (M1/70), CD27 (LG.3A10), CD49a (HMα1), CD49b (DX5), KLRG1 (MAFA), Ly6C (HK1.4), Gr-1 (RB6-8C5), I-A/I-E (M5/114.15.2), F4/80 (BM8), CD11c (N418), CD3ε (145-2C11), CD4 (GK1.5), CD8a (53-6.7), CD19 (1D3), CD122 (5H4), NKp46 (29A1.4), IL-6 (MP5-20F3), CD107a (1D4B), and Ki-67 (B56) purchased from BD PharMingen, BioLegend, or eBioscience. For intracellular and intranuclear antigens, Fix & Perm and Foxp3 staining buffer set (both eBioscience) were used, respectively. For estimation of total cell number and leukocyte composition, enzymatic digestion was preferred as it yielded higher amounts of non-lymphocytes and did not exclude cells based on size or density. For phenotyping of NK cells, mechanical dissociation followed by Lympholyte M was used in order to prevent degradation of surface proteins.

Flow cytometry data were acquired on a FACSCanto (BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA) and analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star, Ashland, OR). To determine expression of cell surface proteins, mAb were incubated at 4°C for 20–30 min and cells were fixed using Cytofix/Cytoperm Solution (BD Biosciences) and, in some instances followed by mAb incubation to detect intracellular proteins. The following mAb clones were used: NK1.1 (PK136, eBioscience), CD3 (17A2, eBioscience), Ly49H (3D10, eBioscience), Ly49D (4E5, eBioscience), NKp46 (29A1.4, eBioscience), CD27 (LG.7F9, eBioscience), CD11b (M1/70, eBioscience), IFN-γ (XMG1.2; eBioscience), Granzyme B (MHGB04, Invitrogen), CD107a (1D4B, BD Pharmingen), AKT1 (55/PKBa/AKT, BD Pharmigen), pS473 (M89-61, BD Pharmigen).
Intracellular cytokine staining: For direct ex vivo, staining cells were incubated for 1 additional hour in the presence of Brefeldin A (BFA) before surface and intracellular IFN-γ staining. For cytokine staining following in vitro stimulation BFA was added during the last hour of stimulation. Intracellular signaling staining: For detection of intracellular AKT and pAKT (pS473) cells were methanol fixed and permeabilized according to BD protocol. Apoptosis was evaluated using Vybrant FAM Caspase-3/7 Assay Kit (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer’s protocol.
