CD45-RO + frequencies were assessed directly ex vivo by surface staining at 4 °C in PBS with antiCD45RO-FITC, CD3-PE and CD4-APC (all from BD Biosciences). For post-stimulation cultures, dead cells were labelled with near-IR LIVE/DEAD fixable dead cell stain (Molecular Probes, Life Technologies) before fixation. For analysis of regulatory markers: CTLA-4, Foxp3 and CD25, cells were fixed, permeabilised and stained with ebioscience/Thermofisher Foxp3 staining buffers according to the manufacturer's instructions. For analysis of cytokine expression, PMA/ionomycin-restimulated cells were fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 12 min followed by a 5-minute wash with PBS under centrifugation. Fixed cells were permeabilised with 0.1% saponin (Acros Organics) prepared in PBS and stained with IL-17-PE, IFNγ-e450, IL-21-APC, CD3-PERCP, CD4-FITC. For all studies cells were acquired on a Dako Cyan flow cytometer (Dako Cytomation) and data analysed using FlowJo software (Tree Star version 8.8.6). All antibodies were purchased from ebioscience/Thermofisher or BD Biosciences and expression quantified relative to the appropriate isotype control.

The RAW 264.7 cells with a density of 2*105/well were cultured in 6-well plates, and after cell adhesion the medium was replaced with CS ionic solution in different dilutions (1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, and 1/128). The cell culture supernatant was collected after 72 h, and labeled as CM-control, CM-1/8CS, CM-1/6CS, CM-1/32CS, CM-1/64CS and CM-1/128CS. The complete medium was used as a control.
The naïve T cells were sorted from mouse monocytes by using mouse CD4 (L3T4) magnetic bead antibody, which was close to 100% purity (Fig. S2). CD28 mouse antibody (BioCell) was added into 6-well plates and incubated for 2 h. Then, the solution was removed and naïve T cells were added into the well, followed by the addition of CS ionic solution with different dilutions (1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, and 1/128), or supernatant of macrophage cultured with CS ionic solutions (CM-control, CM-1/8CS, CM-1/16CS, CM1/32CS, CM-1/64CS, CM-1/128CS).
Meanwhile, naïve T cells were also activated by adding CD3 mouse antibody (BioCell), and collected after 48 h stimulation. Then, surface staining with anti-mouse CD4-FITC was performed. After fixation and membrane rupture, cells were intracellularly stained with anti-mouse IFNγ-APC, IL17-PE, or mouse FOX-P3-APC (eBioscience, USA), and the stained cells were analyzed by flow cytometry.

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.
