For in-vitro studies the following flow cytometry panel was used in conjunction with CTV and viability dye: anti-CD3 Alexa700, CD4 PE-Cy7, CD8 APC, CD44 PE all at a 1:200 dilution purchased from Biolegend. For in-vivo and ex-vivo studies, the following flow cytometry panel was used: anti-CD3 PE-Cy7, CD4 Pacific Blue, CD8 APC, CD44 PE, and anti-CD25 Alexa 700 all at a 1:200 dilution (except anti-CD25 at a 1:50 dilution) and were purchased from Biolegend. Endogenous Foxp3 expression was detected via eYFP fluorescence (or re-stained with anti-Foxp3 Efluor-450 clone FJK-16 s for any overnight staining (Fisher)), all acquisition was performed using a BD Fortessa flow cytometer. For surface FA transporter measurement, anti-CD36-APC (Biolegend), SLC27A1 (sigma), and SLC27A4 was purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK), followed by secondary goat anti-rabbit IgG Alexa-647 (Jackson Immunoresearch, West Grove, PA). Proliferation was analyzed using both FACS DIVA software as well as FlowJo software to determine expansion indexes.

Activation-induced marker (AIM) assays were performed as described by Reiss et al. [14 (link)]. The PBMC used in ELISpot assays were plated in round-bottom 96-well plates at a density of 1 × 106 cells/well in AIM-V medium, and incubated with medium alone as an unstimulated control, or with the AID SARS-CoV-2 peptide library—containing peptides from the S, N, M, and O proteins—for 18 h. Cells were blocked with TruStain (BioLegend, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) for 30 min; stained with CD4-Pacific Blue, CD134-FITC, CD25-PE-Dazzle, CCR7-PerCP-Cy5.5, and CD45RO-APC-Cy7 (BioLegend, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) for 60 min at 4 °C; and washed and analyzed on a Cytoflex S cytometer using CytExpert software. Cells were gated on the forward scatter/side scatter live cell gate, and then on the CD3+CD4+ gate for quantification of CD25hiCD134hi SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cells and memory T-cell subsets based on expression of CCR7 and CD45RO. All measurements are shown as background subtracted values (CD25hiCD134hi stimulated cells minus CD25hiCD134hi unstimulated cells as % total CD4+ T-cells). AIM assays were performed using the same flow cytometer with the same settings and CD25+CD134+ gate. Batches of antibodies were the same for all cohorts, with the exception of anti-CCR7, for which reason the CCR7 gate was adjusted relative to the CCR7+ naïve T-cell population.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PBMCs from healthy donors were isolated by Ficoll gradient centrifugation from whole blood purchased from the New York Blood Center. Isolated cells were cultured in complete RPMI media, consisting of RPMI-1640 supplemented with 5 mM HEPES, 2 mM Glutamine, 50 μg/mL penicillin/streptomycin, 5 mM nonessential amino acids, 5 mM sodium pyruvate, and 10% fetal bovine serum (Thermo Fisher). PBMCs were incubated for 24 h in 6-well plates with IU1 (200 μM), b-AP15 (1 μM), or Romidepsin (0.1 μM). After washing with FACS buffer (PBS, 2% FBS), PBMCs were stained with the following cocktail of anti-human antibodies: CD3-FITC (BioLegend, San Diego, CA), CD4-Pacific Blue (BioLegend), CD25-PE-Cy7 (BioLegend), and CD69-Alexa Fluor 700 (BioLegend). In addition, LIVE/DEAD Yellow stain (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) was used to exclude dead cells. Staining was performed for 30 min on ice in FACS buffer. After washing, the samples were analyzed on a multi-laser flow cytometer LSR-II (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA). Fluorescence compensation was performed with anti-mouse IgG (k) beads (BD Biosciences) stained with each antibody in a separate tube. The total content of PBMCs acquired by BD LSRII was analyzed with FlowJo (TreeStar, Cupertino, CA).

Comprehensive Treg Phenotyping by Flow Cytometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Antibodies used for flow cytometry were as follows: CD4-Pacific Blue, CD25-PE, CD25-APC, CD127-FITC, Foxp3-PE, CD38-PE-Cy7, AnnexinV-PE, PD1-APC, CD8-FITC, CTLA4-PE-Cy7, CD44-FITC, CD62L-FITC, ICOS-FITC, GITR-PE, OX40-FITC, CD138-FITC, PD-L1-PE, and their isotype-matched mAbs (all from Biolegend). Intracellular staining of Foxp3, CTLA4, GITR, and OX40 were performed after fixation and permeabilization using cytofix/cytoperm kit (BD Biosciences), according to manufacturer’s protocol. Tregs were gated as CD4+CD25highFoxp3+ cells in CD4+ population and then sequential markers were assayed on Tregs, whereas CD4+CD25− cells were identified as Tcons. The remaining CD4+CD25low/intermediate subset was excluded in the current study because of their limited immunosuppressive activity compared with CD25high population (34 (link)). To avoid the effect of permeabilization when apoptosis assay was performed, CD4+CD25highCD127low/− cells were identified as Tregs (35 (link)). All flow cytometry was performed by BD FACS CantoII, and analyzed on FlowJo software version 10 (Treestar).

The following anti-human antibodies were used: CD4-PE/Cy5, CD25-FITC, and Foxp3-Alexa647 from BioLegend (San Diego, CA, USA). Mouse cells were stained with fluorochrome-labeled mAbs to CD4-Pacific Blue, Brilliant Violet 605 and Alexa-700 (RM4-5), CD8-Pacific Blue (53-6.7), CD25-APC (7D4), Ki-67-PE (Ki-67), and Thy1.1-PercP (Ox-7) from BioLegend. Foxp3-APC (FJK-16s), dead cell marker Viability Dye eFluor™ 780, and staining reagents from eBioscience (San Diego, CA, USA) were used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. To analyze expression of surface proteins, the cells were stained with the appropriate antibodies for 20 min at 4°C, washed once with FACS buffer (PBS, 0.1% BSA, and 0.02% NaN3), and fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde. For intracellular staining of Foxp3 and Ki-67, the cells were first surface stained, permeabilized with Fix/Perm (eBioscience), and stained with Foxp3 and Ki-67 antibodies diluted in Perm/Wash (eBioscience). To calculate absolute Treg numbers, unlabeled microbeads (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) were added to the stained cells and the following formula was used: absolute Treg numbers = (beads used × Treg events)/beads measured. Acquisition was performed on a BD™ LSR II or FACSCalibur, and data were analyzed using FlowJo software (TreeStar Inc., Ashland, OR, USA).

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.
