Metal-labeled Abs were obtained from Fluidigm or labeled using the MaxPar X8 labeling kit (Fluidigm) according to manufacturer’s instructions (see Table S1). Freshly isolated mouse (BSA- or Dynabead-enriched) splenocytes or thawed human mononuclear cells from blood and spleen were stained with 1 mL of 0.25 μM cisplatin (Fluidigm) for 5 minutes at room temperature to exclude dead cells. Cells were then washed with CyFACS buffer (2 mM EDTA, 1% BSA, 1% in PBS) and stained with heavy-metal-labeled Ab cocktail for 30 minutes on ice. Cells were washed twice with CyFACS then fixed with FoxP3 Transcription Factor Fix/Perm Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 2 hours. Human surface CyTOF Abs that were sensitive to FoxP3 buffer in our hands (i.e., CX3CR1, CD123, CD33, CD135, CD172a and CD163), were instead stained after fixation and permeabilization for 30 minutes at 4°C. After staining, samples were washed and incubated with 2% paraformaldehyde (Electron) in PBS containing 125 nM Iridium intercalator (Fluidigm) overnight. Cells were washed with water, filtered, and acquired in a CyTOF2 (Fluidigm) at the Stanford Shared FACS Facility.

Cisplatin Staining and Mass Cytometry

Cells were detached, collected, and stained with 5 µm Cisplatin (Sigma–Aldrich) for 5 min in a 37 °C water bath, and fixed using 1.6% Paraformaldehyde for 10 min at room temperature. Cells were then incubated for 10 min with blocking solution (BioLegend) and stained with a mixed antibody cocktail at room temperature for 30 min, followed by twice PBS washing. The antibodies are listed in Table S4 (Supporting Information). Metal‐labeled antibodies were labeled in‐house using the MaxPar X8 labeling kit according to the manufacturer's instructions (Fluidigm). Mass cytometry data were obtained using Helios (Fluidigm) as previously reported. Briefly, stained cells were suspended in deionized H2O, and added 4‐element normalization beads (Fluidigm) immediately before applying the samples to the instrument. Cells were acquired at a rate of 300–500 events s−1.

Mass Cytometry Analysis of Stimulated pDCs

Metal-labeled Abs were obtained from Fluidigm or labeled using the MaxPar X8 labeling kit (Fluidigm) according to manufacturer’s instructions (see Table S2). For mass cytometry analysis of stimulated pDC experiments, bona fide pDCs (AXL) were obtained by sorting as in Figure S3A. Freshly isolated and cultured pDCs were pooled with 3×106 mouse splenocytes to provide a cellular bed, stained for CyTOF, and identified as human CD45+ mouse CD45 cells. Cells were stained with 1 mL of 0.25 μM cisplatin (Fluidigm) for 5 minutes at room temperature to exclude dead cells. Cells were then washed with CyFACS buffer (2mM EDTA, 1% BSA 1% in PBS) and stained with heavy-metal-labeled Ab cocktail for 30 minutes on ice. Cells were washed twice with CyFACS then fixed with FoxP3 Transcription Factor Fix/Perm Buffer for 2 hours. Human surface Abs that were sensitive to FoxP3 buffer (i.e., CX3CR1, CD123, CD33, CD135, CD172a and CD163), were stained after fixation in 1X Permwash buffer, for 30 minutes at 4°C. After staining, samples were washed and incubated with 2% paraformaldehyde (Electron) in PBS containing 125 nM Iridium intercalator (Fluidigm) overnight. Cells were washed with water, filtered and acquired in a CyTOF2 (Fluidigm).

Metal-labeled Abs (reporting summary) were obtained from Fluidigm or
labeled using the MaxPar X8 labeling kit (Fluidigm). CD135-enriched mouse cell
suspensions were stained with 0.25 μM cisplatin (Fluidigm) for 5 min at
RT to exclude dead cells, washed with CyFACS buffer (2 mM EDTA, 1% BSA, 1% in
PBS) and stained with a heavy-metal-labeled Abs for 30 min at 4°C. Cells
were washed twice with CyFACS then fixed with Foxp3 Transcription Factor
Fix/Perm Buffer for 2 hrs followed by intracellular staining in 1X Permwash for
30 min. After staining, samples were washed and incubated with 2% PFA in PBS
containing 125 nM Iridium intercalator (Fluidigm) overnight. Cells were washed
with water, filtered, and acquired. Human PBMC and sorted tDC were cisplatin and
surface stained, followed by fixation as described above for mouse. The
intracellular cocktail included Abs affected by fixation52 . Sorted tDC were pooled with mouse
splenocytes to avoid cell loss during washes52 . In all cases, cells were acquired in a CyTOF2 or a
Helios mass cytometer (Fluidigm) at the Shared FACS Facility at Stanford or Mt.
Sinai, using CyTOF software.

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.
