Surface staining was carried out using PBS with 1% FBS. For intracellular staining of cytokines, cells were first surface stained, then fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde (catalog no. 19943; Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) for 15 min at room temperature and permeabilized in permeabilization buffer (TNB-1213-L150; Tonbo Biosciences) before staining for cytokines. Staining for transcription factors was performed with the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Kit (TNB-1022-L160; Tonbo Biosciences) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Flow cytometry data were collected with CytoFLEX (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lake, NJ), and results were analyzed using FlowJo software (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ).

For analysis of surface markers CD71, CD98, and CD122, cells were stained in PBS containing 2% (wt/vol) FBS with antibodies from eBioscience or BD. Their expression level was presented as net mean fluorescence intensity (ΔMFI), which was determined by subtracting MFI of isotype control, or as fold relative to unstimulated, set as 1. Intracellular staining was used for NK cell transcription factor and phosphorylated proteins. NK cell transcription factors E4BP4, Eomes, and T-bet were stained with anti–mouse E4BP4 antibody (S2M-E19; eBioscience), anti-Eomes (Dan11mag; eBioscience), and anti–T-bet (eBio4B10; eBioscience) before and after overnight stimulation with IL-15–IL-15R complex according to the manufacturer’s instruction (eBioscience), similar to Foxp3 staining, respectively. For detection of phosphorylated signaling proteins, NK cells were fixed with Phosflow Lyse/Fix buffer, followed by permeabilization with Phosflow Perm buffer III (BD) and staining with antibodies to S6 phosphorylated at Serc235 and Serc236 (D57.2.2E; Cell Signaling Technology), Akt phosphorylated at Serc473 (M89-61; BD), and Thrc308 (J1-223.371; BD).

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.
