Splenocytes were stained with antibodies against surface markers (CD4, B220, CD41, and GARP) in the presence of a viability dye (eBioscience) and anti-CD16/32 to block FcγRs using a standard protocol. Tregs were stained with anti-Foxp3 using the eBioscience™ FOXP3/Transcription Factor Staining Kit (Invitrogen). Analyses were performed on a FACS LSR Fortessa flow cytometer (DIVA, BD Biosciences) and data were computed using the FlowJo software (Tree Star).

Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte Profiling

Tumors and lymph nodes were harvested. Cell suspensions were generated through mechanical tissue disruption and collagenase D digestion. Red blood cells were lysed, and samples were filtered through 60 μm nylon filters to obtain single cell suspensions. Cells were stained in PBS with TruStain fcX (BioLegend, Cat. No. 101320) to reduce non-specific antibody binding. Cell samples were then stained with anti-CD3-APC, CD4-FITC, and CD8-PECy5 conjugated antibodies (BioLegend, Cat. No. 100311, 100406, and 100709). After cell surface staining, cells were fixed and permeabilized (Invitrogen, eBioscience Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Kit, Cat. No. 00-5523-00) according to vendor’s protocol. Cells were then stained with anti-FoxP3-PE conjugated antibody. Samples were washed and analyzed with flow cytometry (Beckman Coulter CytoFLEX). Isotype control antibody-stained samples were used as negative staining controls. Flow cytometry data was analyzed using FlowJo Single Cell Analysis Software (Treestar, Inc., Ashland, Oregon) with gating strategies shown in Figure S1012 (Supporting Information).

CD4 T cells were stimulated with PMA and Ionomycin (50 ng/ml and 1 μg/ml, respectively) (Sigma-Aldrich) for 5 hrs in the presence of GolgiPlug (BD Biosciences) at 1 μl/ml. Cells were then stained for CD4, TCRβ, CD44, and CD25 as described above. Afterwards, cells were fixed and permeabilized using the eBioscience Foxp3/transcription factor staining kit (ThermoFisher). Cells were then stained with antibodies against IFNγ (clone XMG-1.2) and Tbet (clone ebio4B10).

Cell Proliferation Analysis by Flow Cytometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To measure cell proliferation, cells were stained with a CellTrace Violet Cell Proliferation kit (Thermo Scientific) prior to culturing. Flow cytometry staining was undertaken in 96-well round-bottom plates with a minimum of 200,000 cells per well. To distinguish live cells, the cells were stained with a LIVE/DEAD Fixable Aqua Dead Cell Stain kit (Thermo Scientific). For surface staining, the cells were incubated in Facs buffer (2.5% FBS and 0.05% sodium azide in PBS) with labeled antibodies, all Thermo Scientific unless otherwise indicated: anti-CD8β, anti-CD25, anti-CD69 (BioLegend), anti-CD71 (BioLegend) and anti-CD98. Intranuclear staining was done using the eBioScience Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining kit (Thermo Scientific) and anti-Irf4, anti-T-bet, and anti-c-Myc (Cell Signaling) antibodies. Flow cytometry was performed on a MacsQuant Analyzer 10. Flow cytometry data were analyzed using FlowJo 10 software. Flow cytometry data were generated within the Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting Facility in Ashworth, King's Buildings at the University of Edinburgh.

Isolation and Flow Cytometry of Colonic IELs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Colonic IELs were obtained as previously described [9 (link)]. In brief, the colon was divided into 2-cm segments and incubated with Hank's Balanced Salt Solution +5 mM dithiothreitol for mucus removal. After two consecutive 10 min incubations with 5 mM EDTA, IELs were collected. LIVE–DEAD fixable aqua dead cell stain (ThermoFisher) was used to exclude dead cells from single-cell suspensions. Prior to flow cytometric analysis, suspensions were incubated in flow cytometry staining buffer with Anti-Mo CD16/CD32 (ThermoFisher, Clone93) for the blocking of non-specific binding of antibodies to Fc receptors. Staining for cell surface antigens was conducted using the antibodies listed in Table 3, and fixation was carried out using the eBioscience Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Kit (ThermoFisher). Flow cytometry was conducted using the LSRFortessa Cell Analyzer (BD Biosciences) running FACSDiva acquisition software. Data were analyzed using FlowJo v10.

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.
