Organs were collected from WT, CD45.1, CD45.2, OT-I, or CD8β-deficient mice and single-cell suspensions prepared using standard protocols. Following removal of red blood cells using ACK, nonspecific receptors were blocked with monoclonal antibody (mAb) 2.4G2, before cells (1–5 × 106) were stained with mAb to mouse NKp46 (29A1.4; BioLegend), CD3 (17A2; BD Biosciences), TCRγδ (GL3, BioLegend), TCRαβ (H57-597, BioLegend), CD8α (53-6.7; BD Biosciences), CD8β (H35-17.2; BD Biosciences). Alternatively cells were stained with the lectins peanut agglutinin (Vector Laboratories), sambucus nigra lectin (Vector Laboratories), or maackia amurensis lectin II (Vector Laboratories) before detecting using Streptavidin (BD Biosciences). Cells stained with tetramers were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde for 15 min and washed twice with FACS buffer (1% FCS/PBS) before being resuspended in FACS buffer. All other FACS combinations were acquired unfixed. For acquisition, events were electronically gated on FSC-A versus FSC-H (singlets), followed by FSC-A and SSC-A (to exclude doublets and debris). Among the remaining population, at least 5000 electronic events of interest were collected using an LSR-II or X- 20 Fortessa (BD Biosciences).

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.
