The T-cell suppression assay and MDSC co-cultures were performed as previously published [19, 25] . Briefly, PBMCs from IPF patients were isolated, stained with CFSE (CellTrace, C34554; ThermoFisher Scientific, Darmstadt, Germany) and stimulated with recombinant human IL-2 (100 U•mL -1 ; BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA, USA) and OKT3 (1 µg•mL -1 ; Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA). PBMCs were incubated with stimulation media alone or with isolated autologous MDSC. After 4 days, cells were harvested and stained with anti-CD4-PE or anti-CD8-allophycocyanin (Biolegend). CSFE fluorescence intensity of each cell type was analysed by flow cytometry. The percentage of proliferation was analysed for CD8 + and CD4 + cells cultured alone or in conjunction with MDSC. Data were analysed with FlowJo software. After 96 h of incubation, cells were harvested and stained with anti-CD4-PE (BD Pharmingen) and anti-CD8-allophycocyanin. CFSE fluorescence intensity was analysed by flow cytometry to determine proliferation of CD4 + and CD8 + T-cells. After 96 h of incubation, cells were harvested and stained with anti-CD4-PE (BD Pharmingen) and anti-CD8-allophycocyanin. CFSE fluorescence intensity was analysed by flow cytometry to determine proliferation of CD4 + and CD8 + T-cells.

The percentage of CD3+ T cells, CD3+CD8+ T cells, and CD3CD16+CD56+ lymphocytes were detected by peripheral blood FCM (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Murine anti-human polyclonal antibodies were used, including anti-CD3-FITC, anti-CD4-phycoerythrin, anti-CD8-allophycocyanin, anti-CD16-phycoerythrin, and anti-CD56-allophycocyanin (BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA, USA). The lymphocytes were delineated by adequate forward and sidelight scatters. CellQuest software (BD Biosciences) was used to analyze the data. The peripheral blood ALC was obtained from the hematology laboratory records, and the percentages of the subtypes were determined using FCM; ACD4C refers to the CD3+CD4+ lymphocyte count, ACD8C refers to the CD3+CD8+ lymphocyte count, and ANKC refers to the CD16+CD56+ lymphocyte count in peripheral blood (15 (link)).

Cellular immunity was assessed by multicolor flow cytometric determination of surface markers using human monoclonal anti-CD3-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), anti-CD4-phycoerythrin (PE), anti-CD8-allophycocyanin (APC), anti-CD19-PE, anti-CD16-APC, and anti-CD56-PE antibodies (BD Multitest), for determination of proportions and numbers of total T (CD3+), helper T (Th, CD3+CD4+), cytotoxic T (Tc, CD3+CD8+), Natural Killer (NK, CD3-CD16+CD56+), and B (CD3-CD19+) cell subsets. All samples were examined by a BD FACSCanto II Flow Cytometer. Data were analyzed by FlowJo v10.0.
Serum levels of C reactive protein (hypersensitive, hsCRP), immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM, IgA, and IgE), and complements (C3, C4) were detected by rate nephelometry immunoassay (N Antiserum to Human Ig Kit series, Siemens, Germany). The plasma levels of cytokines (IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, and IFN-γ) were detected by Cytometric Bead Array using the human Th1/2 cytokine kit II (BD Ltd., USA). All tests were conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions.

C57BL/6 mice were i.m. vaccinated with chimeric protein (1–15 μg) alone or mixed with 400 μg of γ-PGA, 400 μg of alum, and 800 μg of PGA/alum on days 0, 14, and 28. Two weeks after the last vaccination, the mice were sacrificed, and splenocytes were obtained from the mice. Splenocytes (1 × 106 cells/100 μl) were blocked with 1 μl of anti-CD16/32 monoclonal antibody (mAb; BD Biosciences, USA) and surface-stained with an antibody mixture containing 1 μl of anti-CD3e-PerCP (BD Biosciences), anti-CD4-FITC (BD Biosciences), and anti-CD8-allophycocyanin (BD Biosciences). After incubation for 30 min at 4°C, surface-stained cells were washed twice with PBS. Then, cells were fixed and permeabilized with a BD Cytofix/Cytoperm Kit (BD Biosciences) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Fixed and permeabilized cells were stained with 1 μl of anti-IFN-γ-PE (BD Biosciences) for 30 min at 4°C, and cells were detected by FACSVerse or FACS Calibur flow cytometry (BD Biosciences). FlowJo software (Tree Star, USA) was used for data analysis.

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.
