The cells were incubated for 3 d at 37 °C with 5% CO2, then subsequently the T cells were assessed for their proliferation rate and cell number by flow cytometry. Cells were stained for CD3-FITC, CD4-Alexa Fluor 700, CD8α-APC antibodies (all Biolegend), and DAPI and collected in TruCount tubes (BD Bioscience).

Cells were then washed twice with permeabilization wash buffer (eBioscience) and blocked using mouse serum (Sigma-Aldrich) and rat serum (eBioscience) for 10 min. Cells were then stained with antibodies CTLA-4-PerCP-eFluor® 710 (clone 14D3; eBioscience), FoxP3-PE-Cyanine7 (clone PCH101, eBioscience), and Helios-FITC (clone 22F6, BioLegend) for 30 min at 4°C.

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.
