Cell Stain Kit (Life Technologies). For surface stains, cells were stained for
30 minutes on ice with indicated antibodies. Clones, sources & dilutions
can be found in the
at the indicated time after stimulation in 2% paraformaldehyde, surface
stained with CD25-biotin and CD4-BUV395, fixed again and permeabilized with ice
cold 90% methanol at −20 °C overnight. Samples were then
barcoded using Pacific Orange-NHS ester (0.33 or 5 μg/mL), Pacific
Blue-NHS Ester (0.67 or 10 μg/mL), and AlexaFluor (AF) 488-NHS Ester
(0.26 or 2 μg/mL) (Life Technologies), as previously described36 . Intracellular antigens were
then stained for 30 minutes at 23 °C with antibodies indicated in
Samples were acquired on a BD LSR Fortessa and analyzed in FlowJo (Tree
Star).
