Samples from all time points were analyzed simultaneously. Cells were first washed in PBS and then blocked with human IgG (1 mg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich). The pDC-T cell fractions were stained with CD123-APC (eBioscience), and the aforementioned FcεR1-PE, CD3-APC-Cy7, CD80-PerCP-eF710, CD86-AF488, HLA-DR-eF450, and CD40-PE-Cy7. The mDC-T cell fractions were labeled with BDCA1-APC (eBioscience) and CD19-APC-Cy7 (Biolegend) along with the FcεR1-PE, CD3-APC-Cy7, CD80-PerCP-eF710, CD86-AF488, HLA-DR-eF450, and CD40-PE-Cy7. Samples were run on a BD FacsVerse (BD Biosciences, San Josa CA). pDCs were identified as CD123+ CD3, and mDCs as BDCA-1+ CD3 CD19 cells. After gating on each cell type, the MFI of each activation marker and HLA-DR was determined. Appropriate isotype controls were included in each experiment.

Briefly, after surface staining, cells were washed, fixed and permeabilized (20 min) following instructions provided in the Cytofix/Cytoperm Plus kit (BD Biosciences) and stained for intracellular p24 with KC57-FITC antibody (Beckman Coulter; Danvers, MA) for 30 min. Analysis was performed on BD FACSCalibur or BD FACSCanto flow cytometers (BD Biosciences) using FACSdiva software, and data analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star, Inc. Ashland, OR). Expression of surface markers was measured by the percentage of positive cells and the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI).

PBMCs stimulated for 18h were harvested and enriched for CD154+ cells using the CD154 MicroBead Kit (Miltenyi Biotec). Enriched cells were stained with CD3 APC-Cy7 (Clone SK7, eBioscience), CD4 Alexa Fluor 488 (Clone OKT4, BioLegend) and CD154 streptavidin PE (Clone 24–31, eBioscience). CD3+CD4+CD154+ T cells were sorted on the BD FACSAria IIu (BD Biosciences) in Mount Sinai’s Flow Cytometry Core Facility, and resuspended according to manufacturer protocols (Fluidigm, South San Francisco, CA).
CD154+ T cells were captured after 18h of stimulation and sort-purified to obtain CD154+ cells at >99% purity. We used the Fluidigm C1 pipeline to obtain single cell cDNA, prepared barcoded cDNA libraries, and performed 100 NT paired end read sequencing on multiplexed cells (48 cells/lane) using Illumina HiSeq (Illumina, San Diego, CA).

PBMCs were isolated by Ficoll-Paque (GE Healthcare) and washed with 0.9% NaCl before incubation with 5 µM iron-quercetin (FeQ2) alone and/or in combination with 5 µM apoBet v1 in media containing neither phenol red nor FCS for 18 h as previously described [41 (link)]. Subsequently, cells were stained with combinations of calcein-AM (Thermo-Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA), CD3-APC-Cy7 (eBioscience, clone SK7), CD14-APC-Cy7 (Biolegend, clone M5EZ), HLADR-PE (Biolegend, San Diego, Calif, clone L243PC), and CD86-PE-CY7 (Biolegend, clone IT2.2) for flow cytometric analysis. calcein-AM violet was used as a living marker and to determine the labile iron load in living cells. Doublets were excluded before gating on CD3+ cells in the lymphocyte population or on CD14+ cells in the monocytic population. In monocytic cells this was followed by consecutive gating for HLADR+, CD86+ and calcein+ and geometric mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was calculated for each fluorochrome. Acquisition and analyses were performed on a FACS Canto II machine (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA, USA) using the FACSDiva Software 6.0 (BD Biosciences).

Blood was obtained in 10 mL heparinized vacutainer tubes. PBMCs were isolated, and cultured in AimV with 5% Human AB serum. A total of 4 × 106 cells in 1 mL were plated in 24-well plates. Cells were stimulated for 6 or 18 hours with milk antigens (a mix of 50 μg/mL each of α, β, and κ caseins) (Sigma Aldrich, St Louis, Mo), or soy or rice extract prepared from flour at 100 μg/mL. Extracts were cleaned of endotoxin using DetoxiGel columns (ThermoFisher, Rockford, Ill) and verified by Pierce LAL Endotoxin quantification kit (ThermoFisher) before use.
Four hours before harvest, Brefeldin A (BD Biosciences, San Jose, Calif) was added to cells. Cells were harvested, stained with fixable live/dead stain, followed by surface markers (CD3-APC-Cy7 [eBioscience, San Diego, Calif], CD4-Brilliant Violet 405 [Biolegend, San Diego, Calif], CXCR5-PerCP-Cy5.5 [BD Biosciences], CCR6-PE-Cy7 [BD Biosciences], and CCR9-FITC [BD Biosciences]). Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, Pa), followed by permeabilization with Permeabilization Buffer (eBioscience), and intracellular staining (CD154-PE [eBioscience], TNFα-AlexaFluor700, IL-13-v450, IL-10-PE-CF594, and IL-9-AlexaFluor647). Cells were acquired on a BD LSRFortessa, and analysis was performed on FlowJo Software (TreeStar, Ashland, Ore). In some studies, CD14-PE-Cy7 was used to identify monocytes.

Naïve T cells were purified from cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using the Naïve Pan T Cell Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec). After purification, isolated naïve T cells were >99% CCR7+ CD45A+ as determined by flow cytometry with CD3‐APC‐Cy7 (Tonbo), CCR7‐PE‐Cy7 (Miltenyi Biotec), and CD45RA‐APC (Biolegend). Naïve T cells were stained with Cell Proliferation Dye eFluor‐670 (eBioscience) as recommended by the manufacturer. Purified mucosal CD1a+ or CD14+ cells (5 × 103 cells) were plated with naïve T cells (7.5 × 104 cells) (1:15 ratio) in round‐bottom 96‐well plates, in Xvivo 15 media (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% human AB serum (Valley Biomedical). After 6 days in culture, proliferation of T cells was assessed by flow cytometry after staining with zombie yellow dye (Biolegend) and CD3‐APC‐Cy7, CD8‐FITC (Tonbo), CD4‐PE, CD103‐PE‐Cy7 (eBiosciences), and CD11c‐PerCp‐Cy5.5 (Biolegend). Naïve T cells alone were used as a negative control. For some experiments, TGFβ receptor 1 blocker, SB431542 (10 μmol/L, Tocris Cookson Inc) (Ochiel, Ochsenbauer, et al., 2010), was added to the cultures at the beginning of each experiment.

PBMCs for TCR profiling were cultured in TCRPMI as described above and reported previously (12 (link)). For TCR overexpression experiments we used AIM V media. PBMCs were washed with PBS two times and once with media, subsequently resuspended at 5 × 105 cells/100 µL and aliquoted in a 96-well plate for a 12-h rest. Then, cells were stimulated with 20 µg/mL of antigenic peptide and 2 µg/mL of CD28/49d in 100 µL of media for 24 h. PBMCs were then washed with wash buffer as described above, but RNAsin Plus inhibitor was excluded. PBMCs were then stained with CD3-APCCy7 (Thermo Fisher, cat. no. 47-0036-42), CD8a-PE (Thermo Fisher, cat. no. 12-0088-42), CD4-PECy7, and CD137-APC (Biolegend, cat. no. 309810) antibody for 20 min. Subsequently, cells were washed, resuspended in wash buffer and 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD) (BD, cat. no. 559925) or DAPI was added immediately prior to FACS analysis or sorting. Multimer staining was performed with tetramers as previously described, and MART-1 (ELAGIGILTV) HLA-A2 tetramer was made in-house (12 (link)). Tetramers for NY-ESO-1 (MBL, cat. no. TB-M011-1), CMV pp65 (MBL, cat. no. TB-0010-2), and EBV BMLF1 (MBL, cat. no. TB-M011-2) were purchased.

Two types of compensation beads were used as compensation controls (UltraCompBeads, Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA; ArCTM Armine Reactive Compensation Bead kit, Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) [32 (link)].
The samples were acquired using LSRFortessa (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and analyzed with FlowJo software v.10.8 (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). The gating strategy used for clustering memory B and T cells is represented in Supplementary Figure S1. PBMCs grown in unsupplemented R10 were used as a negative control and as a measure of baseline fluorescence. The minimum percentage considered for final analysis was 1% in the gate of activated memory cells.

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.
