After homogenization of spleen tissue, immune cells were purified using 35% Percoll (GE Healthcare, La Chapelle-sur-Erdre, France) and red blood cells were lyzed. 106 leucocytes were incubated with anti-CD16/32 (BD Pharmingen, Rungis, France) to block non-specific binding and washed. Cells were then incubated 30 min with appropriate dilutions of anti-CD3-Pacific Blue, anti-CD8-APC-Cy7, anti-CD4-PE, anti-NK1.1-Percp-Cy5.5 and anti-CD19-APC antibodies, all purchased from BD Pharmingen. The staining of ST2 was assessed with a rat monoclonal anti-mouse ST2-FITC antibody (clone DJ8; MB Bioproducts). Cells were washed, fixed in PBS containing 2% FCS, 0.01 M sodium azide and 2% formaldehyde and analyzed on a FACS Aria II ® flow cytometer using BD FACS Diva software (BD Biosciences). Dead cells and doublet cells were excluded on the basis of forward and side scatter. The different immune cell types were identified and gated as follows: BL were CD19+; NK cells were NK1.1+/CD3; T CD8+ lymphocytes were NK1.1/CD3+/CD8+/CD4; and T CD4+ lymphocytes were NK1.1/CD3+/CD4+/CD8. The gating strategy was previously described [5 (link), 12 (link)].

Human NK cells were isolated from buffy coats using RosetteSep NK cell enrichment kit (StemCell Technologies) and Ficoll separation. The isolated NK cells were rested overnight at 1.5 × 106 cells/mL in IL-15 at 37°C. ELISA plates were coated with antigen at 300 ng/well and incubated for 2 hours at 37°C. Plates were blocked with 5% BSA in PBS overnight at 4°C. The next day, 100 μL of antibodies, at a concentration of 5 μg/mL, were added to the plates. Plates were incubated for 2 hours at 37°C to form immune complexes.

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.
