Analysis of lymphocytes phenotypes was performed as previously described [11 ]. Peripheral blood samples were collected in EDTA-anticoagulated tube. Determination of blood lymphocyte immunophenotype was evalutaed by IMK Plus Kit (BD Biosciences, Poland) after erythocyte lysis (BD FACS Lysing Solution, BD Biosciences, Poland). Stained cells were acquired in flow cytometry (Facs Calibur, BD, Germany). Additionally percentage distributions of white blood cells (lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils) was done using CD45, FITC, CD14 PE antibody and FSC/SSC determination. Results of lymphocyte phenotypes are presented as mean percentage of lymphocytes ± SD.
To characterize natural T regulatory cells, cells were stained with primary antibodies against CD4-PerCP, CD25-APC, CD127-FITC and FoxP3 PE molecules (BD Bioscence, Poland) or appropriate isotype control. Cells were acquired in flow cytometry. 10 000 counts of CD4 PerCP positive cells finished the acquisition. Percentage of nTreg cells (FoxP3+, CD25high, CD127low/–) were counted in CD4 postive cells.

We also considered the frequency of different T helper (Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg) subset populations using flow cytometry. We resuspended the cells in PBS in flow-cytometry staining tubes. We used live/dead staining (Molecular Probes/Invitrogen) in all our samples and identified live cells by the intracellular conversion of a calcein ester to free calcein, which is fluorescent in the green spectrum; we identified dead cells by the red staining of internal nucleic acids using ethidium homodimer. We further stained the fraction with CD4-Pacific Blue (clone RPA-T4, BD Biosciences), CD25-phycoerythrin (PE)-Cy7 (clone BC96, BioLegend), and CD127-FITC (BD Biosciences). We gated CD127 low-expressing CD4 + CD25hi cells to ensure separation of conventional activated T cells from stable Treg populations, which further allowed us to identify highly-enriched FoxP3 + cells [25 (link)].

Flow cytometry analysis was performed immediately after bone marrow collection. Cells were incubated with appropriate antibodies for 20 min at room temperature. To remove erythrocytes, the cells were incubated with BD Pharm Lyse lysing buffer (BD Biosciences). After being washed in Cell Wash Buffer (BD Biosciences), the cells were suspended in Cell Wash Buffer and analyzed using a BD FACSCanto flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). Gate parameters dividing negative from positive cells were chosen based on isotype antibody control probes.
Tregs were detected based on the CD4 þ CD25 high CD127 - phenotype using the following antibodies: CD4-PerCP, CD25-APC, CD127-FITC (BD Biosciences). We always calculated the percentage of Tregs among all CD4 þ cells. Subpopulations of HSCs (CD45 þ CD34 þ phenotype) exhibiting high expression of CD274 or CD47 markers were identified using CD34-PE, CD45-PerCP, CD47-Alexa Fluor 647, and CD274-FITC antibodies (all antibodies were obtained from BD Biosciences).

Heparinized peripheral blood obtained from patients was layered onto a Ficoll-Histopaque 1077 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) density gradient and centrifuged at 2,000 rpm for 30 minutes. Mononuclear cells were collected at the interfaces, washed and re-suspended in Phosphate Buffer Saline (PBS), supplemented with 2mM EDTA, and further enriched with CD4+ lymphocytes by negative selection using an appropriate CD4+ T cells isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergish Gladbach, Germany).
For Tregs evaluation, CD4+ lymphocytes were stained with an Antibody cocktail containing CD4+ PerCP Cy5.5, CD25 PE and CD127 FITC (all from BD Biosciences Pharmingen, San Diego, CA, USA), for 20 minutes at room temperature, and subsequently fixed and permeabilized for intranuclear FoxP3 expression with an anti-human Foxp3-APC staining set (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA), accordingly to manifacturer’s instructions. Acquisitions were made on BD-FACSCanto II Flow Cytometer, equipped with FACS Diva Software; Treg cells were identified in the CD4+ CD25 high, CD127_ Foxp3+ cells fraction and expressed as percentage of total CD4+ lymphocytes.

The analysis was carried out as described before [6] . To assess the phenotype of the peripheral blood lymphocytes, the antibodies from the IMK plus test were added to the appropriate cytometric tubes (IMK Test, BD Biosciences, Poland): A -CD45 / CD14, B -isotype control, C -CD3 / CD19, D -CD4 / CD8, E -CD3 / anti-HLA-DR, F -CD16 / 56 / CD3. After adding the erythrocytes lysis solution, the samples were rinsed with buffered saline and subjected to the cytometric analysis.
To characterize natural T-regulatory lymphocytes, cells were stained with antibodies against CD4-PerCP, CD25-APC, CD127-FITC and FoxP3 PE molecules (BD Bioscience, Poland). Cells were collected by ow cytometry. The percentage of nTreg cells (FoxP3 +, CD25high, CD127) was estimed in the CD4 + cell population.
To analyze the cytokines, the 50 µl beads, 50 µl tested serum and 50 µl detection reagent were added to the cytometric tubes. The samples were incubated for 3 hours at room temperature, in dark. Subsequently, each sample was rinsed and centrifuged, and the supernatant was collected and washed with 300 µl of washing buffer. The cytokine level was analyzed using a FACS Calibur ow cytometer.
The measured cytokines were divided into the pro-in ammatory or anti-in ammatory category:
• pro-in ammatory: IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-17A, IL-22, TNFα, IFNγ,
• anti-in ammatory: IL-4, IL-10, TGF-β.

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.
