Cells were centrifuged and transferred to conical bottom plate (Greiner Bio-One, 650101), stained for 20 min in cold PBS with Fixable Violet Dead Cell Stain Kit (1/4000, Invitrogen, L34955) and washed in FACS Buffer (PBS 0.5% BSA 2 mM EDTA). Extracellular staining was performed in FACS buffer for 30 min on ice. For surface marker expression of human cells, antibodies anti-CD28, anti-TCRα/β, anti-CD3, anti-CD4, and anti-HA were used and are described in Supplementary Table 1. After staining, cells were washed in FACS buffer and fixed with Cytofix/Cytoperm (BD Biosciences, 554714).
For intracellular cytometry, cells were washed twice in Perm/Wash buffer (BD, 554723), and incubated for 1 h in ice with anti-LAT or anti-CD45. In the next step, cells were washed twice with perm/wash followed by staining with the correspondent secondary antibody (see Supplementary Table 1).
Finally, cells and compensation beads (eBioscience, 01-1111-42) were acquired with BD FACS Verse and MACS Quant (Miltenyi) flow cytometer and data were analyzed with FlowJo 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.
