Cell suspensions were stained for surface markers and viability dye for 30 min on PBS/0.5%FCS. Foxp3, Helios, and CTLA4 staining was performed overnight using the ebioscience Cytofix/CytopermTM kit. For cytokine detection, cell suspensions were pre-incubated with 50 ng/mL PMA, 500 ng/mL ionomycin and 10 µg/mL brefeldin A for 4h in complete medium. Following CD16/32 blocking with specific mAbs, the cells were surface stained for the indicated markers then permeabilized and stained intracellularly overnight with mAbs against IL-4, IL-10, IFN- γ or IL-17 using the ebioscience Cytofix/CytopermTM kit. For pS536p65, and p65 staining, spleen cells were fixed with PBS/2% paraformaldehyde for 20min, permeabilized in 90% methanol for 30 min on ice and stained for CD4, pS536p65 and p65 in PBS. All flow cytometry acquisitions were performed on a BD Fortessa cytometer using DIVA software (BD Biosystems) and analyzed using FlowJo Version 10 (Tree Star). All mouse antibodies used are listed in Supplementary Table 1. The gating strategies for discriminating human and mouse Treg and Teff cells are shown in Fig. S9.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All antibody staining of live cells was performed in Biolegend Cell Staining Buffer. Single cell suspensions were incubated in Fc-receptor blocking antibody (Clone 93, Thermo Fisher) on ice for 15 minutes prior to cell surface antigen staining. Dead cells were excluded with 7-aminoactinomycin D or Fixable Viability dyes (UV or eFluor 780, Thermo Fisher). For intracellular antigen staining, cells were fixed with either BD Pharmingen’s Cytofix/Cytoperm kit or Thermo Fisher’s FoxP3/Transcription Factor Fixation/Permeabilization kit for 30 minutes at room temperature. iNKT cells were identified as lymphocytes binding to anti-TCRβ antibodies and αGalCer analog PBS57-loaded CD1d tetramer (NIH Tetramer Core Facility/Emory Vaccine Center). For analysis of iNKT cells and NK cells, a “dump” channel with antibodies against CD19 and F4/80 was used to eliminate nonspecific staining. For neutral lipid staining, cells were stained with the LipidTox reagent (Thermo Fisher) per the manufacturer’s instructions. Gating strategies are provided in Supplemental Information (Figure S7).

The BD-Pharmigen Fc block (2.5 µg/106 cells) was used to minimize the nonspecific binding of immunoglobulins to Fc receptors before immunostaining (18 (link)). PBMCs were resuspended at a concentration of 2 × 106/mL. A total of 5–10 µL (in accordance with manufacturer's instructions) of mouse mAb (Supplementary Materials and Methods) were added to 50 µL of PBMC suspension, as described previously (18 (link)), and incubated for 15 minutes in the dark at room temperature (20°C–25°C). Next, 200 µL of a fixation/permeabilization buffer (BD-Pharmingen Cytofix/Cytoperm Kit) for intracytoplasmic staining and Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (eBioscience, Thermo Fisher Scientific) for nuclear staining were added to each tube and incubated for 20 minutes in the dark at 4°C. The antibodies used for intracellular staining are listed in Supplementary Materials and Methods. For each staining, an Ig isotype-conjugated antibody was used as a control for nonspecific binding. Samples were acquired using a BD Accuri C6 Cytometer (Becton, Dickinson and Company BD) and analyzed using FlowJo or C6 Accurì software.

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.
