Fc-gamma receptors were blocked with a rat anti-mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (BD). Mouse-specific antibodies were the following: CD3-Brilliant violet 510, CD25-PercP Cy5.5, I-A/I-E-Brilliant violet 510, CD45R/B220-PE-Cy7, CD43-APC, CTLA-4-APC (all from BioLegend), CD4-APC-Cy7, CD69-PE, CD11c-PercP Cy5.5, CD19-APC-Cy7, CD40-FITC (all from BD Pharmingen), CD8α-PE-Cy7, FoxP3-FITC, CD86-APC, CD83-FITC, CD80-PE-Cy7, IgM-PercP-eFluor 710 (all from eBioscience).
During the experimental set-up, CD3 antibody was included in the staining panel (BV510 BioLegend clone 17A2) and used for the gating of T cells. The results obtained with gating on CD3+ CD4+ CD8- were similar to those obtained with gating on CD4+ CD8-. Due to the limitation in the maximum number of colours that can be discriminated with the FACS Canto II, CD3 staining was omitted in subsequent stainings.
Dead cells were excluded using the fixable viability dye-eFluor 450 (eBioscience), and intracellular staining was performed using the fixation/ permeabilization buffer set from eBioscience. Flow cytometry measurements were performed on a FACS Canto II instrument (BD) and the data were analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star).

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.
