PBMCs were incubated for 30 min at 4 °C with specific, labeled monoclonal antibodies, washed, and then sorted using an ARIA II cytometer (BD Biosciences). Naïve T effector cells (Teff) were defined as CD3+CD4+CD25CD127+CD45RA+ T cells, Tregs were defined as CD3+CD4+CD25+CD127 T cells, and dendritic cells (DCs) were defined as CD3-CD4-CD14-CD16-CD11c+ cells. After cell sorting, Teff was washed and stained with CellTrace CFSE. Next, the cells were washed, incubated with DCs (Teff:DC ratio 1:0.4), Tregs (Teff:Treg ratio 1:0.5) and stimulated by Staphylococcus enterotoxin E (0.2 ng/ml). The cells were cultured for 5 days in complete Panserin medium (Dutscher) in 96-well plates and the proportion of proliferating cells was measured with a MACSquant system (Miltenyi). The data were analyzed with FlowJo software. The percentage of suppression was calculated with the following formula: [log2(y) of (Teff cells alone) – log2(y) of (Teff + Treg cells])/log2(y) of (Teff cells alone) × 100. The y value corresponds to the mean fluorescence intensity of the CFSE of the whole Teff cell population, divided by the mean fluorescence intensity of the CFSE of undivided Teff cells40 (link).

Single cell suspensions enriched for leukocytes were characterized according to their myeloid and lymphoid populations by flow cytometry analysis. Myeloid cell staining was performed following the procedure previously described by Thiele-Orberg et al (Thiele Orberg et al., 2017 (link)). Briefly, MO-IMC were characterized as CD45+CD3CD11bhiLy6ChiLy6GF4/80−/lowMHC-II−/low, PMN-IMC as CD45+CD3CD11bhi Ly6CintLy6G+F4/80MHC-II, and Mϕ as CD45+CD3CD11bintLy6CLy6GF4/80hi cells. For intracellular cytokine staining, cells were stimulated for 4.5 h with 30 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and 1 μM ionomycin (both eBioscience) in presence of Golgistop (BD). Cells were subsequently stained for cell surface markers (CD4-PerCp/Cy5.5, GK1.5; CD3-AF700, 17A2; CD8-PE/CF594, 53-6.7; all Biolegend) followed by fixation/permeabilization (Cytofix/Cytoperm, BD) and staining using IL-17A-Pacific Blue (TC11-18H10.1, Biolegend). Flow cytometry was performed using a LSRII cytometer (BD) and data were analyzed with FACSDiVa 6.1.3 software (BD).

BM CLP (lin c-kit+ sca1+ flt3+ IL-7Ra+), ILCP (lin c-kit+ sca1+ flt3 IL-7Ra+ α4β7+), and gut ILC3 (lin Rorc+ IL-7Ra+) were sorted to ∼99% purity on an Aria II cytometer (BD). Cell lysis was subsequently performed using Tri-Reagent (Ambion), RNA was purified using the RNeasy kit (with on-column DNase I treatment; QIAGEN), and MuLV reverse transcription and oligo(dT)16 primers (Applied Biosystems) were used for cDNA synthesis. iQ Sybr Green SuperMix (Bio-Rad Laboratories) was used for qRT-PCR. Data were normalized to expression of β-actin and expressed as relative target abundance via the ΔΔCt method, where Ct (threshold cycle) is the cycle number at which the amplification curve intersects the threshold value. The primer sets used for qRT-PCR are the following: Nfil3 forward, 5′-AATTCATTCCGGACGAGAAG-3′; Nfil3 reverse, 5′-CGATCAGCTTGTTCTCCAAA-3′; β-actin forward, 5′-TGCGTGACATCAAAGAGAAG-3′; and β-actin reverse, 5′-CGGATGTCAACGTCACACTT-3′.

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.
