Mechanical digestion of the MLN was achieved by a syringe plunger. After mechanical digestion, single cells were obtained by passing the cells through a 70-μm cell strainer (VWR International, Radnor, PA). Red blood cells (RBC) were lysed using RBC lysis buffer (BioLegend, San Diego, CA). Cells from 2 mice in the same experimental groups were combined to increase cell numbers for analyses. For T-cell populations, cells (1 × 106 cells) were stained with antibodies anti–CD3e-V450 (500A2; BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ) and anti–CD4-PE-Cy5 (RM4-5; BD Biosciences). For B-cell populations, cells (1 × 106 cells) were labeled with anti–CD19-PE-Cy7 (1D3; BD Biosciences) and anti–MHC-II-FITC (2G9; BD Biosciences). Populations of T and B cells then were determined by a BD LSR flow cytometer (BD Biosciences ). Flow cytometry data were analyzed using FCS Express 6 Flow Cytometry Software (De Novo Software, Glendale, CA). The gating strategy used to determine immune cell populations is presented in Supplemental Figure 1.

Virus-containing supernatant was harvested from iSLK.219 cells at the indicated times by pelleting cellular debris at 3300 x g for 5 minutes and then stored at -80°C until ready to titer the virus. 105 293A cells/well were seeded in 12-well plates to obtain a confluent monolayer two days later. The thawed viral inoculum was briefly vortexed and centrifuged again at 3300 x g for 5 minutes. Two-fold serial dilutions of viral supernatants were applied to the monolayer containing 4 μg/mL polybrene and 25 mM HEPES (Gibco) and centrifuged at 800 x g for 2 h at 30°C. The total cell count per well was also determined from an uninfected well. Fresh media was applied immediately after spinoculation. 20–24 h post-infection, two dilutions that resulted in less than 30% GFP-positive cells (the linear range for infection) were trypsinized, washed once with PBS and fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde in PBS. GFP-positivity was measured on either FACSCalibur or FACSCanto cytometers (BD) by gating on FSC/SSC and counting 10000–15000 “live” events. Gating and % GFP positive events were determined with FCS Express 6 Flow Cytometry Software (ver.6.0; De Novo). Virus titer was calculated as IU/mL with the following formula:
Virustitre(IUmL)=%GFPpositiveevents*dilutionfactor*cellcount/100
The virus titer of the two dilutions were averaged for the final titer value.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) line was obtained from the ATCC (American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA, USA). HUVEC were grown in endothelial cell basal medium (EGM-2 BulletKit (CC-3156 & CC-4176), Lonza, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum. Cells were incubated at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 and 95% air. The binding of FITC-liposomes to HUVEC was determined qualitatively by using a flow cytometer (BD FACS CANTO II). HUVEC were seeded at a density of 2×105 cells per well in a 12-well plate. After 18–24 h, cells were stained with ART-1-FITC liposomes or control-FITC liposomes at different concentrations (0.25 μM, 0.5 μM and 1 μM) for two hours. After washing with PBS, cells were fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde for 15 min, and analyzed using a flow cytometer (BD FACS CANTO II). The same procedure was used for the time kinetic study except that HUVEC were stained with ART-1-FITC or control-FITC liposomes at 0.25 μM concentration for different time points (5 min, 30 min, 1h, 2h and 4h). The results were analyzed using FCS express 6 flow cytometry software (De Novo Software, CA, USA).
