Bone marrow was flushed out of femurs and tibias of Mpzl3 −/− or +/+ littermates (6 weeks old). The bone marrow was labeled using biotinylated antibodies against CD3, CD4, CD8 and B220 (eBioscience, San Diego, CA). Streptavidin-labeled microbeads were then used to magnetically deplete the biotinylated lymphocytes using autoMACS (Milteyni Biotec, Inc., Auburn, CA). 3 × 106 bone marrow cells after depletion were injected intraperitoneally into 2-day old B6 Rag −/− mice (The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME). After 10 weeks, the inguinal lymph nodes and spleens of these mice were analyzed by flow cytometry, and skin analyzed by histology. For flow cytometry, 3 × 106 cells were blocked using a cocktail of anti-CD16/32 (2.4G2) and normal mouse sera (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA) before being stained with fluorescently labeled antibodies to determine their phenotype and activation status. The following antibody conjugates were used: CD11b PE-TR (Life Technologies Corp.), CD4 V500 (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA), CD11c FITC, Gr-1 PECy7, CD3 Alexa Fluor 700, CD8 efluor605, B220 PerCpCy5.5, CD44 efluor450, CD62L APC, CD69 PE (eBioscience). Cells were then washed and re-suspended in 2% FBS in PBS for analysis with flow cytometers (LSR-II and Fortessa, Becton Dickinson).

The preparation of single-cell spleens was carried out as previously described [25 (link)]. 7 days after the boost immunization, splenocytes were stimulated with S. Typhimurium LPS (50 ng/µL) for 8 h at 37 °C with 5% CO2 in the presence of a protein transport inhibitor mixture (Thermo Fisher). Cytokine expression of CD4+ T cells was measured using rat anti-mouse CD3-Alexa Fluor 700, CD4-FITC, IFNγ-APC/Cy7, and IL-4-Alexa Fluor 647 (eBioscience). The ratio of cytokine-positive cells in the unstimulated sample was subtracted from the antigen-stimulated value of the same mouse to calculate the percentage of antigen-specific cells.

Mediastinal lymph nodes were collected and perfused with dissociation enzyme mix (Miltenyi Biotech, Auburn, CA), finely chopped and incubated for 20 minutes at 37 °C. After enzymatic digestion and red blood cell lysis, samples were incubated with an antibody cocktail consisting of: CD4 FITC, CD3 Alexa Fluor 700, CD25 APC/Cy7 (eBioscience, San Diego, CA) and CD8a BUV 737 (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). Cells were then permeabilized and incubated with another antibody cocktail consisting of intracellular markers Foxp3 PE, RORγt PerCP/Cy5.5, T-bet Alexa Fluor 647 (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and GATA-3 PE/Cy7 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). Cells were analyzed by FACS to determine T-cell subsets in the lymph nodes.

For cell surface markers, cells were stained in PBS containing 2% fetal bovine serum for 15 minutes, unless mentioned otherwise. For intracellular cytokine staining, cells were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate acetate (PMA) (50 ng/ mL) and ionomycin (1 lg/mL), or with different antigens, the last 8 hours with 10 lg/mL Brefeldin A and/or 2 lmol/mL monensin, at 378C and 5% CO 2 as mentioned above, and then fixed and stained according to manufacturer's protocols. Antibodies used were as follows: CD3-Alexa Fluor 700, CD4-PerCP/Cy5.5A, IFN-c Alexa Fluor 488, IL-17-PerCP/Cy5.5A, CCR7-APCeFluor780 (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA), CD8-V500A (Tonbo, San Diego, CA, USA), TNF-a-Alexa Fluor 700(BD), CD45RA-PECy7, CD45RO-PECF594, FAS-PECF594 (BD, San Diego, CA, USA), FasL-PE (Invitrogen), AnnexinV-APC (Immuno Tools, GmbH, Germany).

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.
