PBMCs were isolated within 12 h of sample collection and monocytes were removed by overnight plating in a culture dish. The next day, the CD4+CD45RA+ cells were purified using naïve CD4+ T-cell isolation kit II (product no. 130-094-131, Miltenyi Biotec). CD4+ T-cells were isolated using positive selection magnetic beads using isolation kit (product no. 130-045-101, Miltenyi Biotec). Purified naïve CD4+ T-cells represented a >97% pure population. Purified cells were maintained in culture with 20 U of IL-2 for two days. Thereafter, these cells were stimulated with plate-bound ICs at 10 μg/ml and purified soluble C5b-9 at 2.5 μg/ml for each 1X106 cells in the presence of plate-bound anti-CD3 at 0.25 μg/ml. Positive control cells were stimulated with plate-bound 2 μg/ml of anti-CD28 (clone 28.2) and 0.25μg/ml of anti-CD3 (eBioscience, clone OKT3). For inhibition, cells were cultured in 25nM of P505, a Syk inhibitor (product no. PRT06207, Sellkchem) and 50 μM of HCQ (product no. 263010250, Acros organics). Cells were cultured for 48 h in the presence of IL-2 (20 IU), for each one ml of medium (Peprotech). Post 48 h, cells were re-stimulated and processed for staining at 96 h.

Ethical approval for this study was granted by the ethics committee of Kyoto University Graduate School and Faculty of Medicine. Written informed consent was obtained from all study participants. Tonsils were obtained from five patients (consisting of one female and four male patients ranging from 5 to 48 years old) having a tonsillectomy because of tonsillar hypertrophy. Tonsils were minced and digested with 2.5 mg/mL collagenase D (Roche) at 37°C for 1.5 h and then subsequently analyzed. These studies were exploratory research studies.
Fresh PBMCs from healthy volunteers were collected using Lymphocyte Separation Solution 1.077 (Nacalai Tesque) followed by cell separation and cell culture without cryopreservation. The age of healthy volunteers (consisting of five females and ten males) was ranging from 34 to 54 years old. Cell number was determined with counting chamber (TGK). The average yield of PBMC was 30 million cells per 10 mL peripheral blood with a viability of more than 95%. Naive blood CD4+ T cells were purified with naïve CD4+ T Cell isolation kit II (Miltenyi Biotec) through column twice as a fraction negative for CD8, CD14, CD15, CD16, CD19, CD25, CD34, CD36, CD45RO, CD56, CD123, TCRγ/δ, HLA‐DR, or CD235a and the purity of CD3+CD4+CD45RA+ cells in the sorted cells was more than 98%.

From each study participant, 80 mL of whole blood was collected then subjected to Ficoll-gradient centrifugation (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences AB, Uppsala, Sweden) to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Naïve CD4+ T cells were then isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells by negative selection magnetic bead cell separation (indirect labelling) using the Naïve CD4+ T Cell Isolation kit II (Miltenyi Biotec, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA). The purity of the isolated naïve CD4+ T cells was confirmed >95% using fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies targeting CD4 and CD45RA. DNA was then extracted using the DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, California, USA) and bisulfite converted using the EZ DNA Methylation Kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, California, USA) for subsequent DNA methylation analysis.

Human mo-DCs were prepared as described previously [90 (link)]. Briefly, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from healthy donor blood by Ficoll-Hypaque (GE Healthcare) density centrifugation. CD14+ cells (purity > 95%) were isolated using the EasySep™ Human CD14 Positive Selection Kit (STEMCELL) and cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with penicillin/streptomycin, 10% FBS, recombinant hGM-CSF (100 ng/ml) and hIL-4 (100 ng/ml; both from R&D) for 6 days. Human mo-DCs were treated with 10 µM SB203580 and HDM for 24 h, washed extensively and cocultured with human blood naïve CD4+ T cells isolated using the Naïve CD4+ T Cell Isolation Kit II (Miltenyi Biotec) at a ratio of 1:10. After 7 days of coculture, live T cells were purified and stimulated with plate-bound anti-human CD3 (UCHT1; BioLegend) for 5 h and then harvested for mRNA analysis. PBMCs were collected from allergic rhinitis (AR) patients and stimulated with the p38 inhibitor SB203580 or DMSO (vehicle) for 8 h, with GolgiStop added to the culture medium for the last 5 h. Cells were harvested, and IL-12p40 (C8.6, eBioscience) expression in DCs was detected by ICS. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University (2017-0301). Informed consent was obtained from all volunteers.

Through depletion of contaminating cells, untouched CD4+T cells (mean of 97% CD4+, detected by flow cytometry) were enriched from density gradient-enriched fraction of PBMC of the buffy coats using naïve CD4+T cell isolation kit II (Miltenyi Biotec). Isolated CD4+T cells were plated at 105 cells/well and cocultured with 104 prestimulated allogeneic MoLCs. After 5 days of coculture supernatants were harvested, cells were analyzed by flow cytometry.

Human Mo-DCs and CD45RA+ naïve CD4+ T cells (>99% purity) were prepared as previously described [9 ]. Briefly, human Mo-DCs were prepared from human peripheral blood specimens (PBMCs) using positive selection with CD14 MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec). The Mo-DCs were then cultured in the presence of GM-CSF (50 ng/mL) and IL-4 (50 ng/mL) for five days. Human CD45RA+ naïve CD4+ T cells were prepared via negative selection using a naïve CD4+T-cell isolation kit II (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, U.S.A.). The study using PBMCs obtained from healthy volunteers was approved by the Saitama Medical University Ethics Committee.

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.
