RPMI1640 medium containing 10% FCS was used for CD4 naïve T cell cultures. The following antibodies were purchased from BD BioSciences (San Jose, CA): anti-mouse CD3 (145-2C11), anti-mouse CD28 (37.51), anti-mouse IL-2, anti-CD4-PerCP, anti-CD4-PECy7, anti-CD8-FITC, anti-CD25-APC, anti-CD25-PE, anti-CD44-FITC, anti-CD62L-PE, anti-BrdU-FITC. Anti-FoxP3-APC, anti-IFNγ-APC, and anti-IL-17A-PE were from eBioscience (San Diego, CA). Anti-Helios, anti-CD122 and anti-GITR were from Biolegend (San Diego, CA). Recombinant mouse IL-2 and IL-7 were purchased from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN) and ovalbumin was from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO).

Tregs were prepared according to the all-trans retinal method as described previously
[17 (link)]. Briefly, spleens were harvested from
C57BL/6 mice. CD4+ T cells were isolated by using a Dynal® CD4 Negative
Isolation Kit (Dynal Biotect, Bromborough, Wirral, UK). These cells were then cultured
with anti-CD3 (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA), anti-CD28 (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA),
TGF-β (PeproTech, London, UK), and retinal acid (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 72
h. CD4+ CD25+ cells were sorted out of the culture by flow cytometry
and analyzed with cell surface antibodies, such as anti-CD4 -FITC (Abcam, Cambridge, UK),
anti-CD25-PE (BD PharMingen, San Diego, CA, USA), anti-FOXP3-APC (BD PharMingen, San
Diego, CA, USA), anti-CD44 (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA), anti-GITR (BioLegend, San
Diego, CA, USA), and anti-CTL4 (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA).

Immunophenotyping and T Cell Function

ASTRLs and PBMCs were immunophenotyped for various cell surface markers by flow cytometry with fluorophore conjugated human anti-CD3, anti-CD4, anti-CD8, anti-CD25, anti-CD127, anti-CD39 and anti-CD73 anti-CTLA4, anti-GITR, anti-ICOS, anti-CD45RA, anti-CD226, anti-LAP, anti-GARP, anti-CD56, anti-CD16, anti-CD19, anti-CD11b, anti-CD38, anti-CD27, and anti-CD24 (Biolegend). The data were acquired using a Canto II cytometer (BD Biosciences) and analyzed using Flowjo. The gating strategy for phenotyping included initial gating of a live PBMC population followed by the CD3+CD4+ population. The expression of CD25, CD127, CD39, and CD73 were expressed as % of the CD3+CD4+ population.
T cell proliferation and suppression was determined by CFSE dye dilution of the responder cells. Analysis of CFSE distribution was performed on Flowjo Proliferation platform and data are represented by Replication Index (RI). RI, determines the fold-expansion of only the responding cells, and it is the average number of divisions that all cells have undergone after they had been stained by a cell proliferation dye (13 (link)). The percentage of suppression was calculated from proliferation and suppression values.

For flow cytometry, the cell surface was stained with the following antibodies specific for mouse proteins: anti-CD4, anti-CCR6, anti-CD25, anti-CTLA-4, anti-GITR, and anti-ICOS (BioLegend). Mouse Regulatory T Cell Staining Kit (eBioscience; San Diego, CA) was used to stain the transcription factors with anti-Foxp3 (Biolegend) and anti-RORγt antibodies (BD), anti-Blimp-1 (Biolegend) and anti-Helios (Biolegend), or intracellular cytokine staining with anti-IL-17A and anti-IL-10 (BioLegend). Data were acquired using the FACSVerseFlow Cytometer (Becton Dickinson; Mountain View, CA) or the SH800 Cell Sorter (Sony, Tokyo, Japan) and analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star; Ashland, OR).

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.
