The heparinised whole blood was withdrawn from the mouse orbital sinus. Red blood cells were isolated with Easy Lyse Solution (10 ​mL; Leinco Technologies, USA), and then stained with Foxp3-PE, CD4-FITC, IL17A-APC, IFN-γ-Pacific Blue, IL4-PE, CD3-FITC and CD8-Pacific Blue (BioLegend, CA, USA). For graft analysis, the graft samples were homogenised and digested with collagenase (0.125%; Sigma, Missouri, USA) in a shaking water bath at 37 ​°C for 30 ​min. After centrifugation (800×g, 3 ​min) and resuspension, the cells were stained with the following monoclonal antibodies: CD11b-Pacific Blue, CD11c-PE/Cy7, Foxp3-PE, F4/80-PE, CD206-FITC CD4-FITC, IL17A-APC, IFN-γ-Pacific Blue, IL4-PE, CD3-FITC, and CD8-Pacific Blue (BioLegend, CA, USA). An irrelevant control monoclonal antibody was included for each fluorochrome. Finally, the cells were analysed using a BD LSR-II flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, CA, USA). Cell Quest software (Becton Dickinson, CA, USA) was employed for data acquisition and analysis. A gate was set to exclude 99.9% of the isotype control-labelled cells.

Flow cytometry analysis was performed using a Guava 8HT (EMD Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA USA). Splenic and blood cells from control and tolerant mice were collected and labeled with antimouse antibodies (BioLegend, San Diego, CA) for cell surface markers: CD4-PE and CD25- APC/Cy7. After cell membrane permeabilization with saponin, cells were intracellular labeled with antimouse antibodies: FOXP3-PE/Cy7, IL-17a- APC and IL-6-FITC (BioLegend).

Spleen, MLN and kidney were collected and mashed in 70-μm cell strainers with C10 media (RPMI 1640, 10% fetal bovine serum, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 1% 100 MEM non-essential amino acids, 10 mM HEPES, 55 μM 2-mercaptoethanol, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin-streptomycin, all from Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY). For splenocytes, red blood cells were lysed with RBC lysis buffer (eBioscience, San Diego, CA). To isolate intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), the entire intestine including small intestine and colon was opened longitudinally and cut into pieces. The pieces were incubated twice in EDTA-DTT solution and intensively vortexed to harvest IEC-enriched fractions. For surface marker staining, cells were blocked with anti-mouse CD16/32 (eBioscience), stained with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies, and analyzed with Attune NxT flow cytometer (Thermo Scientific). For intracellular staining, Foxp3 Fixation/Permeabilization kit (eBioscience) was used. Anti-mouse antibodies used in this study include: CD3-APC-eFluor 780, CD8-PE-Cy7, CD4-PerCP-Cy5.5, RORγT-PE, CD3e-biotin (eBioscience); CD45-APC-Cy7, IL-10-BV421, IL-17A-APC, CD49b-biotin, CD19-biotin (Biolegend, San Diego, CA); Biotin-FITC (MACS). Flow cytometry data were analyzed with FlowJo.

Live conidia and hyphal fragments stimulated PBMCs for 6 h and inactivated ones for 24 h. At the last 6 h of incubation, PMA (25 ng/mL), ionomycin (1 μg/mL) and brefeldin A (10 μg/mL) were added. Next, cells were collected and washed with PBS, followed by extracellular staining with anti-human CD3 PE-Cy7, CD4 APC-Cy7 and CD8 PE-Cy5.5 for 15 min. After that, PBMCs were centrifuged and resuspended in Fixation/permeabilisation reagents (Biogems, USA) for 30 min to perform the subsequent intracellular cytokine staining with anti-human IL-4 R-PE, IL-17a APC and IFN-γ Alexa Flour™ 700 (all antibodies: BioLegend, USA). Cell populations were analysed through flow cytometry. T lymphocyte was defined as CD3+ cells, and T cell subsets were defined as Th1: CD4+ IFN-γ+, Th2: CD4+ IL-4+ and Th17: CD4+ IL-17a +. CD4 (%) = CD3+CD4+/CD3+, CD8 (%) = CD3+CD8+/CD3+, Th1 (%) = CD3+CD4+IFN-γ+/CD3+CD4+, Th2 (%) = CD3+CD4+IL-4+/ CD3+CD4+, Th17 (%) = CD3+CD4+IL-17a+/ CD3+CD4+

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.
