Passage 4 USCs were incubated with 3 % bovine serum albumin for 30 minutes to block nonspecific antigens. The cells were then incubated with the following monoclonal antibodies (Becton Dickinson, USA): CD29-PE, CD73-PE, CD90-PE, CD44-FITC, CD45-FITC, CD34-APC and HLA-DR-PE. Nonspecific fluorescence was determined by incubation of similar cell aliquots with isotype-matched monoclonal antibodies (BD Biosciences). The cells were washed to remove unbound antibodies. Surface antigens were analyzed using a Guava easyCyte™ (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA).

The protocol to characterize cell surface markers by flow cytometry was modified [44 (link)]. Briefly, cells were blocked with cold PBS containing 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 30 min, then incubated with the following fluorescence-conjugated antibodies (Becton Dickinson, USA) for 1 h: CD29-PE, CD73-PE, CD90-PE, CD44-FITC, CD13-FITC, SSEA4-PE, CD31-FITC, CD45-FITC, CD34-PE and HLA-DR-PE. Isotype-matched monoclonal antibodies were used as controls (BD Biosciences). Cells were washed to remove unbound antibodies and analyzed by using Guava easyCyte™ (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA).

Naïve CD4+CD25 T cells were isolated from the spleens of OT-II mice using a CD4+ CD25 T cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Botec Inc.). Both tDCs and cDCs were generated from BM cells of C57BL/6 mice, matured in the presence of 50 ng/mL IFN-γ and 50 ng/mL TNF-α for 24 h, and then pulsed with the OVA323–339 peptide (10 μg/ml) for 1 h. After washing with PBS, the DCs (2 × 104 cells/well) were co-cultured with purified OT-II CD4+ CD25 T cells (2 × 105 cells/well) for 4 days in a medium containing 100 U/ml of recombinant human IL-2 (PeproTech Inc.). In allogeneic MLR, the DCs (2 × 104 cells/well) generated from BM cells of C57BL/6 mice were cultured with naïve CD4+CD25 T cells (2 × 105 cells/well) isolated from the spleens of BALB/c mice for 4 days in a medium containing 10 U/ml of recombinant human IL-2 (PeproTech Inc.). In IL-10 blocking experiments, anti-IL-10 monoclonal antibody, or isotype-matched monoclonal antibody (10 μg/ml, both from BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) was added from the initiation of the culture.

Standard indirect immunoperoxidase procedures were used for immunohistochemistry
(IHC; ABC-Elite, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, California). Slides were
dewaxed and rehydrated in distilled water. Endogenous peroxidase activity was
blocked using 0.5% H2O2. Sections were incubated with 10% normal goat serum
(DakoCytomation, Carpinteria, California) for 20 minutes and incubated with
primary antibody at room temperature (RT). Primary antibodies used were specific
for CD16 and OX40 (polyclonal anti-CD134/OX40, ab119904, Abcam, Cambridge,
United Kingdom; biotinylated anti-CD16 were purchased from DAKO (Glostrup,
Denmark) and Novocastra (Newcastle, United Kingdom). Fluorescein
isothiocyanate-conjugated anti-CD16, phycoerythrin-conjugated anti-CD16,
Cy5-conjugated anti-CD16, and isotype-matched monoclonal antibody were purchased
from BD Bioscience (San Jose, California), as previously published by our group.22 (link),23 (link) Subsequently, sections were incubated with peroxidase-labelled secondary
antibody (DakoCytomation) for 30 minutes at RT. For antigen visualization,
sections were immersed in 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole plus substrate-chromogen
(DakoCytomation) for 30 minutes and counterstained with Gill’s hematoxylin.

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.
