Following the surface and viability staining, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) and permeabilized with Triton buffer (0.5% Triton X-100% and 0.1% BSA in PBS). Fluorochrome-conjugated (see above) anti-mouse Foxp3, IL-17A, and IFN-γ were used for intracellular staining. Cells were acquired on BD LSR Fortessa (BD Biosciences, CA), MACSQuant Analyzer (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany), or Cytoflex (Beckham Coulter, CA). Fcs files were analyzed using FlowJo (FlowJo LLC, OR).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The three PyMT peptides folded into MHC-I tetramers with the haplotype H-2Dq with human β2M and conjugated to R-PE were kindly provided by the NIH Tetramer Core Facility (Emory University). Whole splenocytes were obtained from tumor-bearing mice as described above, and flow cytometry staining was performed. Splenocytes were first stained with the fixable viability dye (Ghost Dye UV450; Tonbo Biosciences) for 30 minutes on ice to exclude dead cells. Cells were then stained with the tetramer pool containing all three tetramers (1:100 dilution each) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Mouse FcR blocking was performed by incubating with anti-CD16/CD32 for 10 minutes on ice followed by surface marker staining for 30 minutes on ice with a panel of antibodies including CD3e (APC, clone 145–2C11), CD4 (violetFluor450, clone GK1.5), CD8a (FITC, clone 53–6.7), CD62L (PE-Cy7, clone MEL-14), and CD44 (redFluor710, clone IM7). In addition, for compensation purposes in the tetramer-PE channel, anti-CD3e conjugated with PE was used. Data acquisition and analysis were performed as described above (see flow cytometry section).

Comprehensive Immune Cell Isolation and Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spleens and liver-draining lymph nodes were collected from humanely euthanized mice between 8–12 weeks of age and homogenized through a 70 μm cell strainer, then further suspended using a 27-gauge needle. Liver non-parenchymal cells were isolated by two-step perfusion as described in “primary hepatocyte isolation and culture”. Hepatocytes were removed from the cell suspension by sequential centrifugation at 50xg; the supernatants containing NPCs were centrifuged at 300xg for 5 minutes to pellet the cells. Red blood cells were removed from NPCs, splenocytes, and lymph node suspensions by incubating in ACK lysis buffer for 5 minutes at room temperature. Cleared cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 500 g for 5 minutes, then washed twice in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS).
Surface marker staining was performed as follows: First, viability staining was performed for 20 minutes on ice in PBS with Tonbo Ghost Dye UV450, with all samples protected from light through this and subsequent steps. Conjugated antibodies were added and cells were incubated 15–20 minutes on ice. See Supplemental File 1 for antibody panels used. Cells were washed 3 times in staining buffer (PBS with 5% FBS and 0.1% sodium azide).
Intracellular staining was performed using the Foxp3 Fix/Perm solution (BioLegend) according to manufacturer’s instructions.

B6 TECs, BALB/c TECs or BALB/c 3T3 cells (American Type Culture Collection, Manassas VA) were infected with MCMV-GFP virus at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1 for each cell type. At 72 hours post infection, cells were detached and incubated with either MCMV− or MCMV+ B6 sera, or with transplant sera (D−/R− or D+/R+) at 1:20 dilution for 1 hour on ice. MCMV uninfected cells were also incubated with sera. Cells were washed and stained for viability (Ghost Dye UV450, TONBO Biosciences, San Diego CA), EpCAM-PE (CD326, Clone G8.8, Biolegend, San Diego CA), and anti-mouse IgG1-APC (Clone A85–1, BD Biosciences, San Jose CA).

Three days after Th17 cells differentiation, cells were restimulated with 50 ng/ml PMA, 1 μM ionomycin, and 0.07% of Golgi Stop for 4 h. Following restimulation, cells were stained with viability dye (Ghost Dye UV 450; Tonbo Biosciences), blocked with an anti-FcR Ab (clone 2.4G2), and surface stained with APC-Cy7 anti-CD3 (clone 145-2C11), FITC anti-CD4 (clone GK1.5), BV786 anti-CD90.2 (clone 53-2.1), and APC anti-IL-23R (clone 12B2B64). Cells were then fixed, permeabilized using the Foxp3/transcription factor staining kit (Tonbo Biosciences), and intracellularly stained PE-Cy7 anti–IL-17A (clone eBio17B7). Flow cytometry analysis was conducted on LSR II flow cytometer, and all data were processed using FlowJo software version 10. Antibodies were purchased from Thermo fisher (Invitrogen). In select experiments, Cell Tracer Violet dye was added per manufacturer's instructions (ThermoFisher) prior to Th17 cell differentiation. Th17 cell proliferation was determined by flow cytometry 3 days later by gating on viable, CD4+ IL-17A+ cells and measuring the proliferation index using FlowJo software.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
UT-7 cells were stained with Ghostdye UV450 (Tonbo) per the manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were blocked with normal mouse serum (Invitrogen) for 10 minutes at room temperature. Then, cells were fixed and permeabilized using the Cytofix/Cytoperm kit (BD Biosciences) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Samples were then incubated for 30 minutes at 4°C with antibody against DENV envelope (4G2, FITC, Millipore). Samples were run on an LSRII cytometer (BD) and data were analyzed using FlowJo (TreeStar). Viability was also assessed via trypan blue exclusion. A sample of infected UT-7 cells were collected every other day post infection and diluted in cell culture media with trypan blue (final dilution 1:10). Total cells, trypan blue stained cells, and unstained cells were counted via hemocytometer. Viable cells were those that were unstained by trypan blue. The percentage of viable cells was calculated by dividing the number of unstained cells by the number of total cells.
Gating strategies for all flow cytometry assays are described in S1 Text. All data are available at the flow cytometry repository: https://flowrepository.org/id/FR-FCM-Z2B4

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.
