Suspensions of white blood cells and microglia were transferred to 2 ml Eppendorf microcentrifuge tubes, and a small fraction of sample was removed for single-color controls. To stain dead cells, live/dead violet (1:500–1:1000; ThermoFisher, L34955) was added and incubated for 5 min on ice. Tubes with live/dead-stained cells were topped off to 2 ml with FACS buffer (0.5% BSA HBSS, 1 mm EDTA) and spun down at 300 × g for 5 min at 4°C. Pellets were resuspended and incubated with 1:200 Mouse Fc Block (BD, 2.4G2, 553142) on ice for 15 min. Samples were incubated with 1:200 rat anti CD45-APC/Cy7 (BioLegend, 103115) and rat anti CD11b-PE/Cy5 (BioLegend, 101209) at 4°C. Tubes were topped off to 2 ml with ice-cold FACS buffer and microglia pelleted at 300 × g for 5 min at 4°C. Supernatants were removed and microglia resuspended in 500 μl. Resuspended microglia were filtered through corning strainer polystyrene tubes (Corning, 352235). Flow cytometry data were acquired on Aria II, Fortessa HTS, and LSRII HTS, and analyzed using FlowJo.

HUVEC Isolation and Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Endothelial cells were harvested from human umbilical cords following written informed consent of the patients approved by the cantonal ethics committee Zurich, Switzerland (KEK-ZH-2009-0095). Briefly, HUVEC were dissociated from the venous lumen by incubating a collagenase solution (2 mg/ml collagenase type A, Roche Diagnostics GmBH, Switzerland) for 30 min in a humidified incubator at 37 °C and obtained in endothelial growth medium (EGM-2; Lonza, Switzerland).
After several passages, HUVEC were starved in endothelial basal medium (EBM-2; Lonza, Switzerland) with 1% FCS for 4 h and co-incubated for 16 h with either (I) hMSC CM + 0.5% FCS (n = 5 per hMSC group), (II) EGM-2 (n = 5) or (III) basal DMEM + 0.5% FCS (n = 5). 0.2 ml hMSC CM diluted 1:3 in basal DMEM was used per 100,000 HUVEC. Harvested HUVEC were stained 20 min at 4 °C with the following surface antibodies CD31, CD105, CD144, and CD202b (supplementary Table S2). 50,000 events acquired on a LSR Fortessa were analyzed by FlowJo software gating viable and single cells (for gating strategy see supplementary Fig. S13). Bidimensional t-SNE maps were generated (5000 events) and PhenoGraph algorithm applied.

Cells were harvested and following incubation with Fc block (homemade containing 24G2 supernatant and mouse serum) surface stained with anti‐CD4 APC‐Alexa 780 (eBioscience; clone: RM4‐5), anti‐CD44 PerCP‐Cy5.5 (eBioscience; clone: IM7), CD8 PeCy7 (eBioscience; clone: 53–6.7), and “dump” antibodies: B220 (clone: RA3‐6B2) and MHC II (clone: M5114) both on eFluor‐450 (eBioscience) for 20 min at 4°C. Cells were stained with a fixable viability dye eFluor 506 (eBioscience) as per the manufacturer's recommendations. Cells were fixed with cytofix/cytoperm (BD Bioscience) for 20 min at 4°C and stained in permwash buffer with anticytokine antibodies for 1 h at room temperature (anti‐IFN‐γ PE (clone: XMG1.2;), anti‐TNF Alexa‐Fluor‐488 (clone: MP6‐XT22), anti‐IL‐2 APC (clone: JES6‐5H4) all from eBioscience. Following washing with permwash buffer, samples were acquired on a BD LSR or Fortessa and analyzed using FlowJo (version 10 Treestar). Data are presented as required for MIFlowCyt.

Unless stated otherwise, ZsGreen fluorescence was used to determine Tbet expression and RFP fluorescence was used to flow sort various cell populations. CD4+Tbet+Foxp3Th cells were characterized by multi-parameter flow cytometry for surface markers. Cytokine phenotype of day 0 cells was measured by stimulating cells with phorbol-12-myristate 12- acetate (PMA) and ionomycin for four hours along with Golgiplug and Golgistop which was added in the last 2 hrs of incubation. Flow cytometry staining antibodies for CD4 (clone: RM4-4), CXCR3 (clone: CXCR3-173), PD-1 (clone: 29F.1A12), PDL-1 (clone: 10F.9G2), CD44 (clone: IM7), CD45.1 (clone: A20), CD45.2 (clone: 104), H 2Kb − (AF6-88.5), CD62L (clone: MEL-14), CD8 (clone: 53-6.7), CCR4 (clone: 2G12), Neuropilin-1 (clone: 3E12), Helios (clone: 22F6), CD25 (clone: PC61) and CD127 (clone: A7R34) were purchased from BioLegend. Foxp3 (clone: FJK-16s), IL-10 (clone: JES5-16E3), IFN-γ (clone: XMG1.2) and Ki67 (clone: SolA15) were from Thermo Fisher Scientific. For MHC class I tetramer staining, H-2Db GP33-41 was used at 1:100 dilutions and staining was performed at 4° C for 1 hr. Data were acquired using either an LSR II or Fortessa or FACS CANTO and analyzed using FlowJo software version 9.6.4 or 10.0.6.

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.
