BM-derived DCs (BMDCs) were prepared as follows. BM cells were flushed from femur and tibia of WT C57BL/6J mice and cultured in RPMI media (Sigma) containing 10% FSC and 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin (Gibco) supplemented with GM-CSF (5 ng/ml). Fresh media containing GM-CSF was added at day 3 and 5 of cultivation. After 7 days, BMDCs was pulsed with OVA cognate peptide 323-339 (irrelevant OVA 257–264 peptide was used as control) (InvivoGen) at a concentration of 1 μg/ml and co-cultivated with OVA-specific OT-II T cells and Tregs (10 000 BMDCs: 50 000 OT-II T cells: 50 000 Tregs). OT-II T cells were isolated from OT-II+Rag1−/− mice as MACS-enriched CD4+ T cells (CD4+ T Cell Isolation Kit, Miltenyi biotec). CD4+ conventional T cells (Tconv) were used as a negative control. Tregs were isolated from LNs (pLN and mLN) of WT (MyD88fl/fl) and MyD88ΔTECs mice using subsequent Auto-MACS (Miltenyi biotec) procedure. CD4-enriched T cells (CD4+ T Cell Isolation Kit, Miltenyi biotec) were stained by anti-CD25 biotin conjugated antibody and CD4+CD25+ Tregs were isolated using Anti-Biotin MicroBeads (Miltenyi biotec). Tconv cells were prepared using Auto-MACS as CD4+CD25 cells. After 3 days of co-cultivation, cells were stained with anti-Vβ5 and anti-Vα2 antibodies to distinguish OT-II+ T cells. Proliferation was measured by FACS using CPD670 staining.

Following removal of dead cells, CD4+ T cells were isolated using negative magnetic bead selection with the CD4+ T cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec) following instructions with minor modifications. This negative selection process depletes CD8, CD14, CD16, CD19, CD36, CD56, CD123, TCRγ/δ and CD235a and delivers untouched CD3+CD4+ T cells. Additionally, anti-fibroblast microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) were added in combination with the microbeads supplied with the kit to ensure depletion of stromal fibroblasts present in the mixed cell suspension. After two rounds of negative selection, purity of the CD4+ T cell population was higher than 90% (see Figure 2A). Yield recovery of CD4+ T cells is shown in Supplementary Figure 1b. Following isolation, cells were analyzed by RT-PCR as described below, without in vitro stimulation.
CD4+ T cells from blood were isolated with the CD4+ T cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec) following standard ficoll centrifugation, and activated in vitro with Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) (2.5 µg/ml; Sigma, St Louis, MO) and IL-2 (50 U/ml) (AIDS Research and Reference Reagent Program, Division of AIDS, NIAID, NIH: Human rIL-2 from Dr. Maurice Gately, Hoffmann- La Roche Inc)38 (link) for 24h as described before8 (link).

For LLO56, LLO118, and LLO118+Scn5a+Cd4-creErt2+ transfer experiments, CD4+ T cells were enriched from spleen by negative selection using a CD4+ T Cell Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec). Cells were then transferred iv into recipient mice, and 12-24 hours later the mice were either infected iv with 107 cfu of actA-deficient Listeria monocytogenes (strain DPL194248 (link)) or immunized as indicated. NP-conjugated protein immunizations were performed by ip injection of mice with 100μg of the conjugated protein in equal parts adjuvant aluminum hydroxide gel, Alhydrogel (InvivoGen). For peptide immunizations, mice were injected ip with 10μM peptide in 200μl of a 1:1 PBS:Alhydrogel mixture. For the Nur77-high/low and CD5-high/low transfers, CD4+ T cells were first negatively selected from spleen using a CD4+ T Cell Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec) and then stained for CD4, CD44, CD62L, CD25, and CD5. Naive CD4+ T cells (CD4+/CD44lo/CD62L+/CD25) in the top and bottom 25% of Nur77-GFP or CD5 expression were sorted using a BD FACSAriaII cytometer. 7.5-10x106 cells were injected iv into recipient mice (transferred amounts varied across experiments, not within). One day later, recipient mice were infected ip with 2x105 PFU Armstrong strain LCMV49 (link).

Peripheral blood samples were collected into EDTA vacutainer tubes (Greiner Bio-One). PBMCs were isolated from the blood of healthy volunteers, RA, and PsA patients by density gradient centrifugation over Histopaque-1077 (Sigma-Aldrich). For quantitative real-time PCR analysis, the CD4+ T cells were negatively isolated from PBMCs with a magnetic-activated cell sorting CD4+ T Cell Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The CD45RO (negative fractions) and CD45RO+ (positive fractions) cells were separated also with a CD45RO Microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec). For flow cytometric analysis of chemokine receptors, the CD4+CD45RO cells were negatively isolated from PBMCs with naive CD4+ T Cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The purity of the separated cells was at least 95% in all cases, as determined by flow cytometry.

Residual blood samples from platelet (PLT) apheresis disposables used for routine PLT collection of regular anonymous healthy donors (buffy coats) served as source material for the isolation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Venous blood samples were taken from healthy control persons (Caucasian, n = 10, 4 females and 6 males mean age 29.3 years) and from patients with moderate-to-severe extrinsic atopic dermatitis (AD) (Caucasian, n = 8, 1 female and 7 males mean age 33,25 years). Mean SCORAD was 35.0 ranging from 13.6 to 62.4. Three AD patients received dupilumab as systemic treatment, the others received no systemic treatment. AD patients and healthy control persons were recruited from the Department of Dermatology and Allergy, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany. AD was diagnosed according to the criteria of Hanifin and Rajka [20 ].
PBMCs were separated by density gradient centrifugation on Pancoll human (PAN-Biotech, Aidenbach, Germany) and afterwards naïve or total CD4+ T cells were isolated using respective CD4+ T cell Isolation Kits (Miltenyi Biotec Inc., Bergisch Gladbach, Germany).

In the AAD model, lymph node cells (LNC) from HLN and ILN were processed using CD4+ T cell isolation kits (Miltenyi Biotec) to separate CD4+ from CD4 cell populations. LNC were also dissected from draining popliteal lymph nodes after s.c. immunization with MOG35−−55peptide, an autoantigen recognized by T cells in EAE and MS (Preller et al., 2007 (link)). Concanavalin A (Con A) activated mouse splenocytes as a source of T cell blasts were prepared and cultured as described (Dong et al., 2006 (link); Vang et al., 2010 (link)). Cells were either immediately frozen in appropriate reagents for subsequent qRT-PCR or Western immunoblot analyses or used in proliferation assays as described (Vang et al., 2013 (link)).

DC2.4 and THP-1 cell lines were gifts from K. Rock (University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA) and P. Cresswell of (Yale University, New Haven, CT), respectively. To derive DCs from the bone marrow, nonadherent marrow cells from the tibia and femur bones were cultured in the presence of 3 ng/ml GM-CSF and IL-4 for 6 d. Human peripheral blood was collected from healthy volunteers according to approved guidelines of University of Calgary, and T reg cells from these human blood samples were isolated using the human CD4+CD127lowCD49DCD25+ regulatory T cell magnetic purification kit purchased from StemCell Technologies, Inc. Murine CD4+CD25+ T reg cells and CD4+CD25 T conv cells were isolated from spleens using magnetic purification kits from either Miltenyi Biotec or StemCell Technologies, Inc. OT-II T cells were isolated from OT-II splenocytes by Miltenyi Biotec CD4 T cell isolation kits and sometimes sorted by FACS with an anti-TCR Vα2 antibody.

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.
