CD90.1
+CD4
+ and CD90.1
+CD8
+ sorted T cells were put back in culture for 9 d in the presence of 300 IU/ml human
IL-2 (Novartis Proleukin). T cells were then distributed in 96-well plates (10
3 cells per well) in 200 µl
RPMI 1640 (31870-025; Gibco) supplemented with irradiated (35 Gy) pooled allogenic feeder cells (corresponding to 10
7 PBMCs from a pool of three donors and 10
6 cells corresponding to a 1-to-1 mix of two B-lymphoblastoid cell lines established from distinct donors), 1 µg/ml leukoagglutinin (PHA-L; 4144-5MG; Sigma-Aldrich), 7% pooled human serum,
GlutaMAX (35050-038; Gibco),
penicillin-streptomycin (15140-122; Gibco), and
IL-2 (300 IU/ml) as described (Vivien et al., 2018 (
link)). After 7 d of culture in 96-well plates, T cells were expanded in
RPMI 1640 supplemented with 7% pooled human serum,
GlutaMAX, penicillin/streptomycin, and 300 IU/ml human
IL-2 for an additional 10 d, a time point when T cells stopped proliferating and reached numbers appropriate for AP-MS analysis. Before use in AP-MS analysis, T cells were analyzed for the expression of mouse CD90.1, and human CD3 and CD28 using anti–CD90.1-BV605 (740373; BD Biosciences),
anti–CD3-APC (17-0037-41; Invitrogen), and
anti–CD28-FITC (302906; BD Biosciences) antibodies. Control T cells were grown in parallel under the same conditions.
