CD4+ Tregs (CD4+CD25+) and CD8+ Tregs (CD8+CD25+CD103+) from Cd19creRosaIL-2 and littermate mice and Tconv cells (Thy1.1CD44loCD62Lhi) from Foxp3Thy1.1 mice were isolated from spleens and LN by negative selection with MagniSort Streptavidin Negative Selection Beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific) followed by cell sorting (BD FACSAria III). Antigen-presenting cells were sourced by digesting Rag−/− spleens. For the suppression assay, 1 × 105 Tregs were plated per well in complete RPMI along with 5 × 104Rag/− splenocytes preincubated with 1 µg/ml anti-CD3 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). CD4+ and CD8+ Tconv cells (responders) were labeled with CellTrace Violet (Thermo Fisher Scientific), plated at the indicated ratios with Tregs, and incubated for 3 d at 37°C. Suppression was calculated by comparing the proliferative index of the sample with the proliferative index of Tconv cells cultured in identical conditions except without cocultured Tregs.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LPS-unprimed and LPS-primed cDCs treated or not with L-kynurenine, as described above, were cultured with CD4+ T cells isolated from the spleens of Foxp3YFP mice. Briefly, CD4+ T cells were isolated via cell separation by two steps. A first step was meant to enrich the CD3+ cell fraction, using biotin mouse monoclonal antibodies against B220 (a marker of pDCs and B cells) and CD11c (a marker of DCs). After this step, cells were incubated with MagniSort Streptavidin Negative Selection Beads (Thermo Fisher) followed by depletion of B220+CD11c+. B220 CD11c collected cell fractions were incubated with magnetic anti-mouse CD4 beads (Miltenyi Biotec) to select CD4+ T cells. The purity of CD4+ T cells was verified by FACS analysis by cell staining with anti-B220, anti-CD3, anti-CD11c, anti-CD4, and anti-CD8 specific antibodies. CD4+ T cells (2 × 105) were activated with 5 μg/ml anti-CD3 mAb (clone OKT3) and co-cultured for 4 days with unprimed and primed cDCs (5 × 104) treated or not with L-kynurenine for 36 h (19 (link)). Treg cells were evaluated by FACS, analyzing the induction of Foxp3 expressing YFP.

For splenic sorting experiments, spleen was isolated and depleted of Ly6G-, B220-, and CD3-expressing cells. cDC2 were identified as LinCD45RCD317MHC-II+CD11c+CD172a+ cells. Cells were purified on a FACSAria Fusion into IMDM plus 10% FBS with 5% Flt3L conditioned media. Sort purity of >95% was confirmed by post-sort analysis before cells were used for further experiments. For experiments that included Flt3L cultures, sorted cells (1×103 to 10×103 cells per 200 µl complete IMDM) were cultured for 5 or 7 d at 37 °C with 5% Flt3L conditioned media.

Single-cell suspensions of bone marrow (BM) cells (in PBS containing 2% FCS and 2 mM of EDTA) were stained with biotin-conjugated anti-Ly6G (1A8) and anti-CD19 (6D5) antibodies (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) before removing positive cells with MagniSort™ streptavidin-negative selection beads following the manufacturer’s instructions (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). After this basophil enrichment, primary BM basophils were selected for CD200R3 expression and sorted using a BD FACSMelody™ cell sorter (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). RNA extraction was performed by using Trizol reagent as described in the manufacturer’s protocol (Invitrogen). cDNA was synthesized with SuperScript™ III First-Strand Synthesis System (Invitrogen). Quantitative PCR was performed with SsoAdvanced SYBR green reaction mix (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) using the M_B2m_1 KiCqStart™ primer pair for mouse β2-microglobulin as housekeeping gene (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck) and the following primers for Mcpt8 quantification: Forward primer: 5′-GTGGGAAATCCCAGTGAGAA-3′ and Reverse primer: 5′-TCCGAATCCAAGGCATAAAG-3′ (12 (link)).

Pre-B cells were isolated from the bone marrow of recipient mice that had been transplanted 3 weeks earlier with sgTfap4/Eµ-MYC/Cas9 or sgControl/Eµ-MYC/Cas9 FLCs. B cells were enriched from bone marrow of all long bones by staining with a cocktail of biotinylated antibodies against TER119 (Ly76), MAC-1 (M1/70), GR-1 (RB6-8C5) for 20 min on ice, washed, then incubated with MagniSort Streptavidin Negative Selection Beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s protocol to remove undesired erythroid and myeloid cells. The supernatant was transferred into a fresh tube, washed, and resuspended in 100 µl of a cocktail of fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies against B220 (RA3-6B2), IgM (5.1), c-KIT (2B8) and 1 × 106 live (PI negative) pre-leukaemic pre-B cells (B220+ sIgM c-KIT) were FACS sorted, centrifuged, and resuspended in QIAzol Lysis Reagent (Qiagen) and stored at −80 °C. Total RNA was extracted using the QIAgen miRNeasy Mini Kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions with optional on-column DNAase digestion. An input of 100 ng of total RNA was used to prepare mRNA libraries and indexed using the TruSeq RNA samples Prep Kit (illumina) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

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.
