Cells were washed in PBS and stained for viability using FVS510 (BD Biosciences) which was diluted 1:1,000 in PBS and 100 µL was added to each sample of cells and left in the dark at room temperature for 15 min and then washed twice in FACs buffer (PBS containing 0.5% BSA, 5 µM EDTA and 0.5% sodium azide). To reduce nonspecific binding, samples were incubated with 50 µL of polyclonal rat IgG (Sigma) (diluted 1:50 in FACs buffer) for 15 min on ice and protected from light, then washed once in FACs buffer by spinning at 400 g for 5 min and removing supernatant. Samples were then stained for flow cytometry by adding 50 µL of anti-CD44-FITC (clone IM7 at 1/200; Biolegend) in Brilliant Staining Buffer (BD Biosciences). Staining with TGMs used Alexa fluor-labeled proteins made as described above. TGMs labeled with AF488 and AF594 were used at a final concentration of 5 μg/mL. Samples that were also stained for intracellular antigens were fixed and permeabilized using Foxp3 Transcription Factor Buffer kit (Invitrogen, USA) and stained with anti-Foxp3-ef450 (clone FJK-16s, eBioscience, San Diego, California, USA, 1/100) in perm/wash buffer. Samples were then washed prior to analysis on a BD Celesta flow cytometer (BD Biosciences).

The whole lung was cut into pieces with ophthalmic scissors. The tissue was incubated with 0.1% type I collagenase (Sigma, MO, USA) at 37°C for 60 min. Then, the cells were homogenized through a 70 μm cell strainer (BD Biosciences). Isolated cells from lung tissue of mice were first incubated with FVS510 (BD Biosciences, CA, USA) for 15 min. After washing two times with 2% FBS, cells were incubated with monoclonal antibody against CD16/CD32 (BD Pharmingen, CA, USA) for 10 min to block Fc receptors. Next, cells were stained with BB515-anti-CD45 (BD Biosciences), BV421-anti-F4/80 (BD Biosciences), BV711-anti-Ly6G (BD Biosciences), APC-anti-CD11b (BD Biosciences), and PerCP-Cy5.5-anti-MHC-II (BD Biosciences) at 4°C for 20 min. The cells were fixed and permeabilized with 200 μl Perm/Wash Buffer (BD Biosciences). Intracellular staining of BV605-anti-CD206 antibody (BD Biosciences) was incubated at 4°C for 40 min. Specific cell types were identified as follows: neutrophil (CD45+CD11b+Ly6G+), macrophage (CD45+F4/80+), M1 macrophage (CD45+F4/80+MHC-II+), M2 macrophage (CD45+F4/80+CD206+).

Cells were stained for surface markers at 4°C for 30 min and protected from light. If necessary, cells were fixed and permeabilized with Fixation and Permeabilization Solution (BD Biosciences) at 4°C for 20 min. Intracellular cytokine staining was performed at 4°C for 30 min and protected from light. Stained cells were ultimately washed and resuspended in stain buffer (BD Biosciences). Flow cytometry (FC) or intracellular flow cytometry (ICFC) was performed by FACSCelesta or FACSAria III (BD Biosciences). Data were analysed by FlowJo (Tree Star).

Samples were prepared for flow cytometry as described previously54 (link). Briefly, single cell suspensions were generated from tumours using the mouse Tumour Dissociation Kit (Miltenyi) and splenocytes by mechanical dissociation. Cells were stained for viability (FVS510, BD Biosciences) and incubated with an Fc-blocking antibody (CD16/CD32, clone 2.4G2, BD Biosciences) prior to extracellular staining. Extracellular staining was carried out at room temperature (RT) for 20 min, samples were fixed in 1% paraformaldehyde (PFA) and stored overnight at 4 °C until samples were acquired. For intracellular staining of IFN-γ, the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (eBioscience™) was used following the manufacturer’s instructions. For YAC-1/NK co-culture experiments, cells were stained with Ethidium Homodimer (EthD-1, Invitrogen) to differentiate live/dead cells prior to flow cytometric analysis and were acquired on the same day. Samples were acquired on a BD LSR Fortessa or BD FACS-Celesta flow cytometer. Data were analyzed using FlowJo software (v10.8.1).

Single cell suspensions of lungs, spleen, and LNs from immunized mice were washed with PBS and resuspended in FACS-buffer [PBS supplemented with 1% (v/v) fetal calf serum and 0.1% (w/v) sodium azide]. Following treatment with Fc-block (BD Biosciences, Lyngby, Denmark), the cells were stained for 30 min at 4°C for surface markers using mAbs (Supplementary Table S1). Dead cells were excluded by using the fixable viability dyes FVS510 or FVS700 (BD). The cells were washed twice, resuspended in FACS buffer and analyzed using an LSRFortessa flow cytometer (BD). Gates for the surface markers are based on fluorescence-minus-one controls. The gating strategy used for identifying distinct cell populations in the lungs, the spleen, and the draining lymph nodes is based on previous reports (26 (link)–28 (link)) and is further described in the Supplementary Figures S1S3. All flow cytometry analyses were performed using the FlowJo software v10 (Tree Star, Ashland, OR, United States).

Following perfusion with PBS, the spleen, CSF (5 μl per mouse) and spinal cord were isolated from PBS or CRE-TAT treated mice at day 14 post-immunization. Cell suspensions of the spleen and spinal cord were prepared and incubated with ACK buffer (C3702, Beyotime) to lyse red blood cells. With a centrifugation at 1500 rpm for 5 min, the cells were resuspended with 100 μl of staining buffer (70-S1001, Multisciences). Next, 10 μl of Clear Back (FcR blocking, MTG-001, MBL) were mixed with 50 μl of cell suspension (≤ 1 × 106) and incubated for 5 min at room temperature. Then, the samples were stained with fluorochrome-conjugated monoclonal antibodies against FVS510 (564406, BD Pharmingen), CD3-FITC (11-0032-82, Invitrogen), CD4-PerCP-Cy5.5 (550954, BD Pharmingen) and CD196-AF647 (561753, BD Pharmingen) for 30 min at 4 °C.

Flow cytometry was used to evaluate the frequency of production of IFN‐γ, TNF‐α, and IL‐2 by CD4+ or CD8+ cells in the vaccine and control groups. Splenocytes were isolated and seeded at 106 cells/well in duplicate in serum‐free medium and stimulated for 8 h with 50 μg/ml of SA14‐14‐2 or YFV‐17D NS3 peptide antigen or with 100 μg/ml of total Vero cellular antigen at 37°C and 5% CO2. Also, 5 μg brefeldin A (BFA) (BioLegend, Cat# 420601) was added to block IFN‐γ, TNF‐α, and IL‐2 secretions at 6 h before the endpoint. Afterward, cells were harvested in a tube and stained with PE‐conjugated anti‐mouse CD3e, FITC‐conjugated anti‐mouse CD4, and PerCP/Cy5.5‐conjugated anti‐mouse CD8a antibodies (BioLegend, Cat# 100206, 100510, 100734), followed by 20‐min incubation in the dark. Intracellular cytokines were detected after 30‐min incubation with APC‐Cy7‐conjugated rat anti‐mouse IL‐2 (BD, Cat# 560547), APC‐conjugated anti‐mouse IFN‐γ (BioLegend, Cat# 505809), and PE/Cyanine7‐conjugated anti‐mouse TNF‐α (BioLegend, Cat# 506324) antibodies in the dark. FVS510 (BD, Cat# 564406) was used to distinguish viable cells. At least 50,000 events were analyzed with a BD LSRII flow cytometer and Summit software.

To evaluate the phenotypes of T cells that responded to stimulation in IFN-γ ELISPOT assays, we conducted intracellular cytokine staining (ICS). The in vitro stimulation was similar to that described above in the IFN-γ ELLISPOT section. Briefly, after 12-14 days in vitro culture, PBMCs were restimulated with peptide. After 1 h, Brefeldin A was added to inhibit protein transport. After 4 additional hours of incubation, the cells were stained with T-cell surface markers CD4-PerCP (cat. 345770), CD8- FITC (cat. 345772), CD3-APC-H7 (cat. 560275) and a dead cell marker FVS510 (564406) (all from BD Biosciences). Samples were then fixed and permeabilized using eBioscience™ Fixation/Permeabilization buffers (eBioscience, cat. 00-5123-43, 00-5223-56) and stained with IFNg-APC (cat.341117, BD Biosciences), TNFa-BV421 (cat.562783, BD Biosciences) in eBioscience permeabilization buffer (eBioscience, cat. 00-8333-56) and analyzed on FACSCanto™ II (BD Biosciences) using BD FACSDiva software version 8.0.2 as described previously (32 (link)).

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.
