Cell sorting was performed 3 days following electroporation. Cells were harvested, washed and resuspended in PBS supplemented with 5% BSA containing 1/100 diluted anti-human CD70 and anti-human CD52 (Biolegend). Staining was performed for 15 mins at room temperature in the dark. Subsequently, cells were washed and resuspended in PBS supplemented with 0.5% BSA. During Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting, cells were collected in MEM-Alpha (Biological Industries) supplemented with 0.5% Heat Inactivated FCS (Sigma) and P/S. Acquisition was performed on a BD FACSAria III (BD Biosciences). After collection, live cells were purified using Lymphocyte Separation Medium (mpbio), washed and cultured in MEM-Alpha (Biological Industries) supplemented with 10%Heat Inactivated FCS (Sigma), 50IU rhIL-2 (Peprotech) and P/S. Purity of the sorted cells can be found in Extended Data Fig. 10.

1*106 PBMC were stimulated with polyI:C (20 μg ml-1, Invivogen) in 250 μl in 96-wells plates (Greiner Bio-one, Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands) for 5 or 7 hours at 37°C in RPMI 1640 (Invitrogen) supplemented with 9% heat-inactivated FCS (Sigma-Aldrich) and penicillin/streptomycin (Invitrogen). During the last 3 hours, cells were incubated with 10 μg ml-1 Brefeldin A (Sigma-Aldrich). Subsequently, cells were stained for BDCA3 and CD11c, fixed with 2% formaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.5% saponin and stained for tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) (eBioscience), IFN-λ1 (kindly provided by Bristol-Myers Squibb and commercial Ab from R&D systems) or polyclonal goat IgG (R&D systems). Cytokine-producing cell frequencies were determined by flow cytometry.
Isolated DCs were stimulated for 24 hours with 20 μg ml-1 polyI:C in the presence of 10 ng ml-1 GM-CSF. Levels of secreted human IFN-λ1 (interleukin 29; IL-29) were measured using a commercially available ELISA kit (eBioscience) and IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and TNFα levels were measured using a BD cytometric bead array (CBA, BD Biosciences). Detection limits were 8 pg ml-1 (IFN-λ1), 7.2 pg ml-1 (IL-1β), 2.5 pg ml-1 (IL-6), 3.6 pg ml-1 (IL-8), 3.7 pg ml-1 (TNF-α).

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from heparinized venous blood from H. pylori negative healthy donors, after informed consent, by density gradient centrifugation with Biocoll (Biochrom, Germany). Monocytes were isolated from PBMCs by magnetic cell labeling (MACS) with the Monocyte Isolation Kit II (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany) following the manufacturer's instructions. Their purity was determined by flow cytometry staining (anti-CD14 and anti-CD45).
Immature DCs were generated by culturing monocytes in RPMI 1640 with Glutamine (Invitrogen, USA), 10% heat-inactivated FCS (Sigma, USA) and 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin, (Invitrogen, USA), 20 ng/ml human rIL-4 (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany) and 20 ng/ml human rGM-CSF (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany) for 6 days.

Cells were incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2 and 96% humidity. They were cultured for 48 h for RNA analysis and supernatant, and 72 h for supernatant and flow cytometry analysis. Cells were detached using Trypsin-EDTA (Anprotec, Bruckberg, Germany) and then counted using Trypan Blue solution (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in a Neubauer chamber in accordance with the formula ((Q1 + Q2)/2) × 2 × 10,000 × x mL.

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.
