The Vδ2 T cells and PMN-MDSC frequency and phenotype were evaluated utilizing the following monoclonal antibodies: anti-Vδ1 (Life technology), anti-NKG2A, anti-NKG2D (Beckman Coulter), anti-NKG2C (R&D system), anti-Vδ2, anti-CD3, anti-CD15, anti-CD33, anti-HLA-DR, cocktail of antibodies anti-CD3, -CD56, -CD19, anti-CD14, anti-CD11b (BD Biosciences). In brief, the cells were washed twice in PBS, 1% BSA, and 0.1% sodium azide and were stained with the mAbs for 15 min at 4°C. The cells were then washed and fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde and analyzed using a FACS Canto II (Becton Dickinson). For intracellular staining, membrane staining was performed as above described. After fixation cells were incubated with anti-IFNγ (BD Biosciences) for 30 min at room temperature. CD107a detection was accomplished by antibody staining during cell stimulation. After washing cells were analyzed using a FACS Canto II (Becton Dickinson). Apoptosis induction of Daudi cells were accomplished by evaluating Annexin V ligation to Daudi (Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit, eBiosciences) following the manufacturer’s instruction. Then cells were stained with anti-CD19, anti-Vδ2, anti-CD3, anti-CD15.

Other antibodies used were: anti CD57 and antibodies against the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors-KIR2DL1/DS1, anti KIR2DL2/DL3, and anti KIR3DL1/KIR3DS1. Unless otherwise noted, all antibodies in this study were purchased from Biolegend. In all FACS results shown in this paper, dead cells, neutrophils, and monocytes were excluded from analysis. We used the FCS Express version 4 program for FACS analysis. We performed correction for the MFI of different unrelated FACS staining, by dividing the individual staining MFI (of blood and SFs NK cells) by the background isotype control of the same staining (normalized MFI).

Human iPSC culture and differentiation to iCD34+ cells were performed as previously described (35 (link), 36 (link), 60 (link)). At the beginning of the iNK cell differentiation culture, iCD34 cells were plated on stroma cells in B0 media supplemented with cytokines that support NK cell differentiation from hematopoietic progenitors (61 (link)). After 21 days of culture, iNK cells were harvested and co-cultured with irradiated K562 cells transduced with membrane-bound IL-21 and 4–1BBL constructs (62 (link)) in supplemented B0 media for 2 – 3 weeks. K562 cells were propagated in RPMI 1640 media (Corning) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Hyclone). The following fluorescently-conjugated antibodies were used for phenotypic analysis of iNK cells: anti-KIR3DL1 (DX9), anti-KIR2DL1 (HP-MA4), anti-KIR3DL2/3 (DX27), anti-NKG2D (D11), anti-CD16 (3G8), anti-NKp44 (p44–8), anti-NKp46 (9E2), anti-NKp80 (5D12), anti-perforin (B-D48), anti-granzyme b (QA16A02), anti-2B4 (C1.7), anti-LFA-1 (HI111), anti-CD69 (FN50), anti-CD62L (DREG-56), anti-PD-1 (EH12.2H7), anti-LAG-3 (11C3C65), anti-TIGIT (A15153G) (all from Biolegend), anti-NKG2A (Z199; Beckman Coulter), anti-NKp30 (p30–15; BD Biosciences), and anti-NKG2C (134591; R&D Systems).

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.
