PerCP-Cy5.5 CD3 (eBioscience, 45-0031-82), PE-Cy7 CD25 (eBioscience, 552880),
PE FoxP3 (eBioscience, 12-5773-80B), APC NK1.1 (eBioscience, 17-5941-82), PE PD-1 (eBioscience, 12-9985-81), Alexa 647 CD85k, for ILT3 staining (H1.1, Biolegend), UV455 viability dye (eBioscience, ref. 65-0868-14),
eFluor 506 viability dye (eBioscience, 65-0866-14),
eFluor 670 (eBioscience, 65-0840-85).
Approx. 5×10
5 cells were labeled for 20 min at 4
oC with the indicated Abs.
Data was acquired on a
LSRII flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and analyzed using FlowJo software version 9.9.9 (TreeStar, Ashland, OR).
Gating strategies. For proliferation study: Lymphocytes were gated from SSC-A/FSC-A, live cells from SSC-A/UV455, single cells from FSC-H/FSC-A, CD45.1
+ from SSCA/CD45.1, proliferation of donor specific T-cells from upper right quadrant of CD4
+Vβ13
+. For cell populations: Lymphocytes were gated from SSC-A/FSC-A, live dead cells from SSC-A/ UV455, single cells from FSC-H/FSC-A, then cells of interest as described in the Results section.
