Briefly, the PBMC-CFDA-SE+ were pulsed with the anti-CD3 UCTH-1 mAb (5 µg/ml, BD Bioscience) and cultured for 5 days in a 96-well U bottomed plate (1 × 105 cells/well) in the presence (or not) of ex vivo- or in vitro-generated CD8+ T lymphocytes (1 × 105 cells/well). Then, the samples were harvested, washed in PBS, and analyzed by flow cytometry. The dead cells were excluded from analysis by adding 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD) (BD Bioscience) prior to analysis. Suppression activity was expressed as the percentage reduction of the proliferation in the presence of CD8+ Treg lymphocytes compared to the levels of proliferation observed in control cultures of PBMCs cultured in the absence of Treg cells. A suppression activity ≥25% was considered significant. This threshold was chosen based on the results achieved in a large historical cohort of more than 50 healthy subjects of both sexes with age ranging from 18 to 87 years. In healthy donors, CD8+ Treg suppression activity never fell below 25%.
Cfda se
CFDA-SE is a fluorescent cell labeling reagent used for cell tracking and proliferation assays in flow cytometry applications. It covalently binds to cellular proteins, allowing for the monitoring of cell division over time.

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.
