Anti nfat2 7a6

LNs cells of C57BL/6 mice were harvested and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, immediately or after 30 min of resting or stimulation with 200 nM of Thapsigargin in RPMI 1640 Glutamax (Gibco). Cells were washed in 1% FCS and 0.1% NaN₃ in PBS and incubated in glycine (0.1M) for 10 min. Cell surface was stained with biotinylated anti-Ly-6C (AL-21), BV 510-conjugated anti-CD4 (RM4-5), PE-conjugated anti-CD25 (PC61), anti-TCRγδ (GL3), anti-CD8.β2 (53–5.8), anti-NK-1.1 (PK136), anti-CD11b (M1/70), PE-Cy7-conjugated anti-CD44 (IM7) and PerCp-Cy5.5-conjugated streptavidin, all from BD Biosciences. Intracellular stainings were performed using Foxp3 Staining kit (eBioscience) and Alexa 448-conjugated anti-NFAT1 (D43B1; Cell Signaling, Leiden, The Netherlands) or anti-NFAT2 (7A6; BioLegend) and APC-conjugated anti-Foxp3 (FJK-165; eBioscience) Abs were used. Ly-6C^- and Ly-6C⁺ CD4 T_N cells were sorted as CD4-BV510⁺ Lineage-PE^- CD44^-/lo Foxp3-APC^- Ly-6C^+/- cells using a FACS-ARIA3 flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). After sort, DRAQ5 (Cell Signaling) was used to stain nuclei. Cells were acquired with ImageStreamX (Amnis; EMD Millipore) and analyzed with IDEAS software. NFAT1 and NFAT2 nuclear localization was calculated as the similarity score between NFAT and DRAQ5 intensities.
