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).

Isotype-matched control antibodies were used to define the positive staining populations. Stained cells were acquired and analyzed using a FACSAria cytometer (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA, USA) with FACSDiVa software (BD Biosciences).
Liver biopsy specimen was obtained from six chronic HBV infected patients and was chopped and incubated with collagenase-D (0.1%) (Gibco, Waltham, USA) in RPMI-1640 with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco, Grand Island, NY). After incubate and filtered through nylon mesh, cells were suspended in RPMI-1640 and then stained with anti-CD4-PerCP, anti-CD45RA-FITC, anti-Tim3-PE and anti-FoxP3-APC.

Freshly isolated PBMCs were immunophenotyped for Treg number, FoxP3 expression (MFI) and CCR5/CxCR4 expression using fluorochrome-conjugated monoclonal antibodies (mAb): anti-CD4 PE/FITC, anti-CD25 PE-Cy7, anti-CCR5 PE, and anti-CxCR4 PE (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA) for cell-surface markers in combination with intracellular Fork-head box protein 3 (FoxP3) mAb conjugated with Alexa488 (eBioscience, San Diego, CA). Samples were acquired into a flow cytometer (FACS Calibur, BD, USA) and analyzed using Cell-Quest (BD Bioscience)/FlowJo (Treestar) softwares. For further analysis, patients were categorized on the basis of level of surface CD25 expression on CD4+ T-cells viz: CD4+CD25high (top 2% with high CD25 expression), CD4+CD25intermediate (middle 15% with intermediate CD25 expression) and CD4+CD25low/negative (lower 83% with very low or no expression of CD25) cells (Figure 1A & 1B). Absolute counts for different populations were calculated from the total lymphocyte count in the whole blood.

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.
