Cell proliferation was performed by labeling CD4+ T cells with 2uM CellTrace Violet (CTV, ThermoFisher) for 5 minutes at room temperature. After CTV labeling, cells were stained with tetramers, surface markers, enriched and sorted as above for 0407-YF50 tetramer+ cells and CD45RO+CD4+ T cells (400-500 cells/well). T cells were cultured with DMSO, PHA-M (1:100, ThermoFisher), or YF50 peptide (50ug/ml) together with 100,000 peripheral monocyte derived dendritic cells per well. CTV staining was analyzed after 5 days in culture. For cytokine analyses, tetramer enriched cells were collected in a 96-well plate and stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA, 5ng/mL, Sigma) and ionomycin (500ng/mL, Sigma) in the presence monensin (2uM, Sigma) and Brefeldin A (5ug/mL, Sigma) for 5-hours as previously described (Del Alcazar et al., 2019 (link); Wendel et al., 2018 ).

Recombinant IL-2 (1 ug; BioLegend) and anti-IL-2 (10 ug; BioLegend) were preincubated at 37°C for 30 min to form IL-2 complexes (IL-2C). Mice were injected intraperitoneally with IL-2C, daily for 2 consecutive days. Seven days after the first IL-2C injection, the frequencies of ILC2 progenitors in the BM and ILC2s in the kidney were measured by FACS analysis. In the second set of experiments, IL-2C treated mice were injected intravenously with a BV650-labeled anti-CD45 antibody (BioLegend) 5 min before sacrifice on Day 7.

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.
