For the identification of CD4+ Th cell subsets and CD8+ Tc cells, we used cytoplasmic cytokine staining method. Briefly, whole blood were diluted to 1:1 with saline solution and incubated with phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (25 ng/ml), ionomycin (1 μg/ml) and Golgi Stop brefeldin A (10 μg/ml) (all from Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri, USA) for 5 h at 37°C in 5% CO2 milieu. The following monoclonal antibodies were used for cell surface staining: CD4-PE-Cy5 or CD8-PE-Cy5 (both from Beckman Coulter). The cells were then fixed and permeabilized with Intraprep™ permeabilization reagent (Beckman Coulter) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and intracellular cytokines were stained with the combination of interferon (IFN)-γ-FITC, interleukin (IL)-4-PE, IL-10-PE (all from BD Biosciences) and IL-17-PE (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) monoclonal antibodies. Measurements were performed and data were analyzed on Coulter FC500 flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter) equipped with Kaluza 1.2a software. IgG1-FITC (BD Biosciences) and IgG1-PE (R&D Systems) isotype-matched antibodies were used during the identification. Cells were quantified as their percentage in the CD4+ or CD8+ lymphocyte population.

Fresh peripheral venous blood was collected from all patients 1 day before biopsy. Anticoagulant (100 μL) was added to each of the two test tubes containing either 20 μL CD4-FITC (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) or 20 μL CD8-PE (BD) and mixed evenly. Additionally, a test tube with blood from Control mice and IgG1-FITC (BD) or IgG1-PE (BD) monoclonal antibodies (20 μL) was also mixed. All test tubes were incubated at room temperature after mixing for 20 min; then, 2 mL of red cell lysate (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) was added. After incubation at room temperature for 10 min, samples were centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 5 min, the supernatant was discarded, and 2 mL of phosphate buffer pH 7.4 (0.05% PBS) was added. The samples were mixed well and washed 1–2 times. Cells were resuspended in 500 μL of PBS, and immediately tested by flow cytometry. We gated for small lymphocytes (R1 gate) based on the forward scatter and side scatter of the cells. Mouse IgG1-FITC and IgG1-PE monoclonal antibodies were used as isotype-negative controls.
The data were acquired using a FACScan flow cytometer (BD) and analyzed with CellQuest software (BD).

Human CB T-cells, including those which were deficient in PKCζ, were maturated as previously described using phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and IL-2 [22 (link),28 (link)]. Maturation was gauged by flow cytometry, measuring the expression of CD45RA and CD45RO using anti-CD45RA-APC, anti-CD45RO-PE, anti-CD3-FITC or isotype control mix (IgG2b-APC, IgG2a-PE and IgG1-FITC) antibodies (all BD Biosciences). The data were analysed on a BD FACScan using BD CellQuest software (BD Biosciences). Cultures were set up such that at each time point, a count was made and cell concentrations were re-adjusted based on the number of viable cells as described under ‘Results’ section.

Positive identification of cell markers was defined as fluorescent emission that exceeded the fluorescent threshold of cells stained with corresponding isotype (negative) controls. The isotype controls used in these studies were Rabbit IgG Alexa Fluor 568, Donkey IgG Qdot 525, IgG2 Qdot 800 (all from Life Technologies), and IgG1 FITC, IgG1 Brilliant Violet, and IgG1 APC (all from BD Biosciences).

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.
