Flow cytometry and basal pStat5 experiments were performed according to previously published methods [17 (link), 41 (link)]. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) used were CD3-APCa750, CD4-ECD, CD8-APCa700, CD16-FITC, CD19-ECD, CD45RO-FITC, CD56-PCy7 and CD152-PE from Beckman Coulter; CD25-PE, CD45RA-APC and CD45RA-PCy7 from BD Biosciences; CD127-FITC from eBioscience; CD25-APC and LAP-PE from R&D Systems and GITR-PE from Miltenyi.
For pSTAT5 activation experiments, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were cultured (500,000/well) for 30 min at 37° C and IL-2 was added for 15 min. Cells were then fixed with 1.6% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 100% methanol, stained for pSTAT5 and appropriate surface markers. Events were collected using a LSRFortessa flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and data were analyzed using Diva software (BD Biosciences). To calculate EC50, after subtracting the value from the media control, binding data for each sample was normalized to 100% based on the maximal response and non-linear regression of these data was performed assuming a variable slope using Graph-Pad Prism 6.0.

The percentage of pDCs in PBMCs was obtained
by a three-color flow cytometric method
within 4 hours of PBMC preparation. A mixture of
monoclonal antibodies specifically established to
identify pDCs was used. Cells were stained with
CD14-FITC, CD16-FITC, CD85k (ILT3)-PE,
and CD123-PC5 according to the manufacturer’s
instructions (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA).
pDCs were identified as being CD14lo/-CD16lo/-
CD85k (ILT3)± and CD123± (10 (link)). Briefly, 100 μL
of PBMCs were incubated with a mixture of the
monoclonal antibodies (20 μL) for 20 minutes
at room temperature (RT) in the dark. After two
washes with PBS, stained aliquots of PBMCs were
reconstituted in 0.5 mL of PBS. Flow cytometry
readings of the stained cells were acquired using
Cytomics FC 500 (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA,
USA) with CXP Software (Fig 1).
Absolute pDC numbers were estimated by multiplying
the percentage of pDCs by the number of
PBMCs, which was calculated by multiplying the
number of white blood cells (WBCs) by the percentage
of lymphocytes plus monocytes in WBCs
as measured in the Sysmex XE-2100 apparatus
(Sysmex Corporation; Kobe, Japan).

The PBMC were incubated with combinations of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), phycoerythrin (PE), PE-cyanine 5.5 (PE-cy5.5), and peridinin chlorophyll protein monoclonal antibodies. The monoclonal antibodies were CD3-FITC, CD3-Percp/Cy5.5, CD4-PE, CD4-FITC, CD8-FITC, CD8-PE, CD16-FITC, CD56-PE, CD19-PE, CD25-FITC, CD127-Percp/Cy5.5, and CD28-PE (Beckman Coulter). About 10,000 lymphocytes were assessed with FC500 software to determine the percentage of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD3CD16+CD56+, CD19+, CD4+CD25+CD127+, CD8+CD28, and CD8+CD28+ lymphocytes.

Cells were phenotypically analyzed using a Navios™ instrument with 10-color PMTs and three solid-state lasers (Beckman Coulter, Fullerton, FL). The list mode data files were further analyzed using Kaluza™ software (Beckman Coulter). In order to guarantee that the optics, laser, fluidics and fluorescence intensity were stable during all measurements calibration was performed using Flow Check Pro Fluorospheres (Beckman Coulter) and Cyto-Cal Multifluor + Violet Fluorescence Alignment Beads (Thermo Scientific, Fremont, CA). Cells were washed with PBS with 1% bovine serum albumin before being labelled with fluorochrome-conjugated mAbs. After incubation for 30 min at 4°C in the dark, cells were washed twice to remove unbound antibodies and analyzed. For cell surface staining, the following mAbs were used: CD3-ECD (A07748), CD16-FITC (IM0814U), CD45-Krome Orange (A96416), CD56-APC-Alexa Fluor750 (custom made), CD158a-APC-Alexa Fluor700 (custom made), CD158b-PC7 (A66901), CD158e1/e2-APC (A60795), CD159a-PC5.5 (custom made) (all from Beckman Coulter, Marseille, France) and CD159c-PE (FAB138P; R&D).

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.
