PBMC were activated and stained according to the manufacturer’s instructions (BD Biosciences, Mountainview, CA). Detailed methods are provided in the (S1 Methods). For identification of Th1 and Th2 cells, or Th17 and Treg cells, four-color antibody cocktails (Th1/Th2/Th17 phenotyping kit, Treg/Th17 phenotyping kit, BD Biosciences) were used. For identification of IL-10+ and TGFβ+ cells, anti-CD4 PerCP-Cy5.5, anti-TGFβ1 PE, and anti-IL-10 APC (all BD Biosciences) were used. anti-CD4 PerCP-Cy5.5, PE-conjugated mouse IgG1κ and APC-conjugated mouse IgG2aκ (all BD Biosciences) were used as isotype control. All samples were analyzed on a CyAn ADP flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Lane Cove, NSW, Australia) using Summit software (version 4.3.2, Beckman Coulter). At least 100,000 gated events were collected for each sample. Postacquisition analysis was performed using FlowJo software (version 9.5.2, Tree Star, Ashland, OR). Representative gating and fluorescence histograms are shown in (S1 Fig.). CD4+ values were expressed as a percent of total lymphocytes; all other subsets as a percent of CD4+ cells.

Freshly isolated responders or the generated cells were analyzed with flow cytometry on days 0, 7, and 14. For the analysis of lymphocyte and monocyte lineage markers, the following conjugated antibodies (Abs) were used: anti-CD4-PerCP Cy5.5, anti-CD8-APC H7, anti-CD3-HV450, and anti-CD19-HV500 (all from BD Biosciences, San Jose, USA); and anti-CD16-PE, anti-CD56-PE, anti-CD14-PC7, and anti-CD45-APC AF700 (all from Beckman Coulter, Marseille, France). CD subsets were determined using the Lineage Cocktail 1 (lin 1; FITC-conjugated Abs against CD3, CD14, CD16, CD20, and CD56; all from BD Biosciences), anti-CD123-PECF594, anti-CD11c-PC7 (both from BD Biosciences), and anti-HLA DR-APC (Beckman Coulter). Tregs were identified using anti-CD127-PE, anti-CD4-PerCP Cy5.5 (BD Biosciences), anti-CD25 PC7 (Biolegend, San Diego, USA), and anti-FOXP3-AF647, clone 236A/E7 (BD Biosciences).

Based our protocol from previous publication (16 ), we resuspended the splenocytes from the immunized in 10μl of RPMI-1640 media. The cells were ex vivo stimulated with anti-CD107a antibody (BD Biosciences, 553792), anti-CD28/CD49d antibody (BD Biosciences, 347690) and OLP or DMSO in 10μl. The mixture was incubated in 5% CO2, 37°C incubator for 1hour and treated with 4μl of mixture of the complete RPMI-1640 media: Brefeldin A (GolgiPlug, BD Biosciences, 555029):Monensin (GolgiStop, BD Biosciences, 554715) in 55:3:2. After 12hours of incubation in 5% CO2, 37°C, the cells were washed with PBS and stained with surface antibodies (anti-CD44 BV421 [BD Biosciences, 536970], anti-CD8a BV510 [BD Biosciences, 563068], anti-CD62L BV650 [BD Biosciences, 564108], anti-CD3 BV786 [BD Biosciences, 564010], anti-CD4 PerCP-Cy5.5 [BD Biosciences, 561115], and anti-CD19 APC [BD Biosciences, 561738]) for 15 minutes at RT and washed. Cells were then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS and permeabilized. We then washed the cells and stained with FACS antibodies (anti-IL-2 FITC [BD Biosciences, 562040], anti-TNF PE [BD Biosciences, 554419], anti-IFN-γ [BD Biosciences, 557735], and anti-CD107a [BD Biosciences, 560647]) by 20 minutes of incubation at room temperature, washed twice with the permeabilization buffer and resuspended with 300μl of PBS.

Mucosal mononuclear cells were isolated from colonic biopsy specimens by collagenase type II (Sigma, Hamburg, Germany) digestion as described previously2 (link),3 (link). The following antibodies were used for phenotypic analysis: anti-CD3-allophycocyanin (APC), anti-CD3-peridinin chlorophyll protein Cy5.5 (PerCPCy5.5; both clone SP34; BD Biosciences), anti-CD4-PerCPCy5.5, anti-CD4-APC (both L200; BD), anti-CD8-phycoerythrin (PE), anti-CD8-fluorescein (FITC; both DK25; Dako), anti-CD45RA-FITC (ALB11; Beckman Coulter), and anti-CCR5-PE (3A9; BD). Lymphocytes were gated on the basis of characteristic forward and side scatter properties. CD4+ T cells were identified by co-expression of CD3 and lack of CD8 expression and memory CD4+ T cells were identified by lack of CD45RA expression on CD4+ T cells. The total number of analyzed colonic cells was between 360,000 and 550,000 and cells in the CD3+ T cell gate consisted of 14,000 – 44,000 colonic cells. CD4+ T cell counts in fresh whole blood were quantified by the use of Trucount Tubes (BD) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Data were acquired on the FACS Calibur (BD) and analyzed with FlowJo software version 8.8.4. (BD).

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.
