San Diego, CA, USA). Staining was performed on whole blood using BD FACS Lysing Solution (BD Biosciences) as per the manufacturer’s instructions. A minimum of 250,000 events were acquired for T cell panels and 500,000 events for B cell panels to ensure adequate capture of rare populations. Subsequent detailed analysis of lymphocyte sub-populations was performed on the gated lymphocyte population using FlowJo (Treestar, Inc., OR, USA). Absolute counts for the different lymphocyte populations were calculated per litre of blood, based on haematology laboratory reported total lymphocyte count.

Purified CD4+ memory T cells derived from ESRD patients were stained with anti-CD28-APC (BD Biosciences) for 30 min at 4 °C. Chemotaxis of stained CD4+ memory T cells was analyzed using 24-well Transwell chambers with 5 μM pores (Corning Inc, Corning, NY). 3 × 105 cells in 100 μl chemotaxis buffer (RPMI 1640 with 0.5% BSA) were placed in the upper chambers. Recombinant human CX3CL1 (2.5 to 20 ng/ml; R&D systems) in 600 μl chemotaxis buffer was placed in the lower wells and the chambers were incubated for 2 hours at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Migrated cells located in the bottom wells were collected and analyzed using a BD LSRFortessa.

Cytokine Production in Activated T Cells

Cells were cultured for 6h in complete media (RPMI, HEPES, L-Glutamine, Penicillin, Streptomycin) containing 5% human serum and stimulated with plate-bound α-CD3 monoclonal antibody (plate coated with 2.5 μg/ml, clone OKT-3) and incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2. In order to prevent produced cytokines from being secreted, 10 μg/ml Brefeldin A (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) was added to the cultures 4h prior to harvesting. Extracellular and intracellular cytokine staining was performed using Cytofix/Cytoperm Kit (BD) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Antibodies: Anti-CD28 PE or anti-CD28 APC, anti-CD14 APC Cy7, anti-CD4 PeCy7 or anti-CD4 PerCP, anti-IFN-γ FITC (all BD), anti-CD3 PB (BD or Biolegend), anti-TNF PerCP Cy5.5 (Biolegend), anti-IL17 Alexa 647 (Biolegend) or anti-IL17A PE (eBioscience). LIVE/DEAD Aqua Dead Cell Stain (Invitrogen) was used to exclude dead cells. The PBMCs were run on a Beckman Coulter CyAn. Analyses were performed with FlowJo software, version 8.1.0 or higher (Treestar Inc.).

For suppression assays, cells were washed with 0.1% (w/v) sodium azide/phosphate-buffered saline (Mediatech Cellgro) on day 7 of in vitro stimulation and were stained with anti-CD4 PECy5 (BD Pharmingen), anti-CD8 Pacific Blue (Biolegend), and anti-CD25 APCCy7 (BD Pharmingen. For surface phenotyping of cells, bulk PBMCs and enriched CD8+ T cells were stained with anti-CD3 Alexa 700 (BD Pharmingen), anti-CD8 AmCyan (BD Biosciences), anti-CD27 APCCy7 (Biolegend), anti-CD28 APC (BD Pharmingen), CD45RO Pacific Blue (Biolegend), anti-CD62L PECy5 (BD Pharmingen), and anti-CD57 PE (Southern Biotech). For intracellular staining of cytokines, cells were initially activated with 1 μL of leukocyte activation cocktail (BD Pharmingen) for 5 hours. Cells were surface stained with anti-CD8 APC (BD Biosciences), anti-CD4 PECy5 (BD Pharmingen) and anti-CD25 APCCy7 (BD Pharmingen) and permeabilized as described previously. Intracellular staining was performed using anti-IFNγ PECy7 (BD Pharmingen), anti-IL-17A PE (Ebioscience), anti-Granzyme B Alexa 700 (BD Pharmingen) and anti-Perforin Pacific Blue (BD Pharmingen). All cells were resuspended in 1% paraformaldehyde (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfiled, PA) for FACS analysis. Flow cytometric data were acquired on a 4-Laser, 17-color LSRII using FACSDiva software (Becton Dickinson). CFSE was detected in the FITC channel on the LSR.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were separated from whole blood using Ficoll-Hypaque (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden), and then, cryopreserved until use15 (link). Cryopreserved PBMCs were thawed and analysed with flow cytometry. Briefly, cells were stained with fluorochrome-conjugated monoclonal antibodies against surface antigens for 20 min at 4 °C. The antibodies were anti-CD3-Horizon V500, anti-CD4-PE-Cy7, anti-CD8-APC-H7, anti-CD28-APC (all from BD Biosciences) and anti-CD57-Pacific blue (Biolegend, San Diego, CA).

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.
