Tumors were minced into small (1–2 mm3) pieces, and digested using a Tumor Dissociation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The resulting supernatant was filtered through a 200-mesh sieve and washed twice with ice-cold PBS12 . healthy donors were incubated for 5 min with Fc-block (BD Biosciences). The phenotype of MDSCs in patients was determined by a combination of surface markers including HLADR-PerCP-Cy5.5 (Clone L243, BD Biosciences), CD33-FITC (Clone P67.6, BD Biosciences), CD11b-APC (Clone CBRM1/5, BD Biosciences), and CD45-BV421 (Clone HI30, BD Biosciences). Afterward, PD-L1 membrane expression was evaluated using PD-L1 (CD274)-PE (Clone 29E.2A3, BD Biosciences).
For the mouse model, single-cell suspensions were stained with either a myeloid panel of antibodies comprising CD45-FITC (Clone 30-F11, BD Biosciences), CD11b-APC-Cy7 (Clone M1/70, BD Biosciences), Gr-1-PE (Clone RB6-8C5, BD Biosciences), and PD-L1-APC (Clone 10F.9G2, BD Biosciences) or a lymphoid panel of antibodies comprising CD45-FITC (Clone 30-F11, BD Biosciences), CD4-PerCP/Cy5.5 (Clone RM4-5, BD Biosciences), CD8-PE (Clone 53–6.7, BD Biosciences), CD62L-APC (Clone MEL-14, BD Biosciences), and CD107a-APC (Clone 1D4B, BD Biosciences).

Comprehensive Immunophenotyping of Lung Cancer

Flow cytometry was performed using fluorescence-conjugates or specific mAb and their controls followed by species-specific conjugate (Supplementary Table 2) using a FACS CantoII flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter) or a LSRFortessa (Becton Dickinson) from the flow cytometer facility Tuebingen. Positive cells in percentage (%) were calculated as follows: Surface expression in percent obtained with the specific antibody—surface expression in percent obtained with isotype control. Platelets were preselected by CD41a+ and CD62P (resting) or CD62P+ (activated). Data analysis was performed using FlowJo software (v.10). In order to verify the reproducibility of our flow cytometry system, we performed a Bland–Altman analysis (Supplementary Fig. 8f). For immunophenotyping of PBMC subsets of lung cancer patients and healthy control donors were identified by counterstaining with CD3-PECy5 (BD biosciences, San Diego, CA), CD19-APC/Fire750, CD4-Pacific Blue, CD8a-BV605, CD56-PECy7, CD14-BV785, HLA-DR-BV650 (Biolegend, San Diego, CA) and CD16-FITC (invitrogen). PD-1 and PDL-1 expression as well as activation levels were analyzed using a PD-1-APC or PDL-1-APC and a CD69-PE antibody (BD biosciences), respectively. Isotype controls were obtained from BD biosciences. Dead cells were excluded from analysis with LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Aqua (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA).

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were extracted from healthy volunteers by density gradient centrifugation in a lymphocyte separation medium (MP Biomedicals, Irvine, CA, USA). T cells in PBMC were activated and expanded with CD3, CD28 antibody, and 10 ng/ml IL-2 (Thermo Fisher Scienti c, Waltham, MA, USA), and then co-cultured with Hep3B cells at a ratio of 10:1 in the presence of a uorescent caspase 3 substrate (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, 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.
