For the generation of time-course microarray data of Tr1 cells and validation of Il10 regulators in Tr1 cells in vitro, CD4+CD44CD62L+CD25 naive cells were sorted from WT B6 or indicated KO and their corresponding control mice with BD FACSAria sorter, and then activated with plate-bound anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 (both at 1ug/ml) in the presence of 25ng/ml rmIL-27 (R & D systems). 10ug/ml anti-TGFβ (Bioxcell, Clone# 1D11.16.8) was also added for the microarray experiment.
For RNA-seq and qPCR analysis of IL-10 producing and non-producing T helper cells, naive CD4+CD44CD62L+GFP cells were sorted from Foxp3-GFP; Il10-Thy1.1 double reporter mice using BD FACSAria sorter and were activated with irradiated splenocytes depleted of CD4 T cells (at the T: APC ratio of 1:6) and 2.5ug/ml soluble anti-CD3 in the presence of polarizing cytokines. Concentration of cytokines are as follows: 20ng/ml rmIL-12 (R & D systems) for Th1; 20ng/ml rmIL-4 (Miltenyi Biotec) for Th2; 2ng/ml of rhTGFb1 and 25ng/ml rmIL-6(both from Miltenyi Biotec) for non-pathogenic Th17; 20ng/ml rmIL-1β(Miltenyi Biotec), 25ng/ml rmIL-6 (Miltenyi Biotec), and 20ng/ml rmIL-23 (R&D systems) for pathogenic Th17; 25ng/ml of rmIL-27 (R & D systems) for Tr1. IL-10 positive (Thy1.1+) and negative (Thy1.1+) 7-AADTCRβ+CD4+GFP cells were re-sorted at 72 hours.

Recipient mice received 100 μg anti-mouse CD45RB (clone: MB23G2, BioXCell, West Lebanon, NH) ip on days 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 following transplantation. Islet recipient mice also received 500 μg anti-mouse TIM1 (clone RMT1–10, BioXCell, West Lebanon, NH) ip on day 0, and 300 μg on days 1 and 5 following transplantation. For the anti-TGF-β-treatment experiment, recipient mice were injected ip with 200 μg anti-TGF-β or isotype control (1D11.16.8 and MOPC-21, respectively, BioXCell, West Lebanon, NH) on days 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 posttransplant.
For adoptive transfer experiments: after 21 days of skin graft survival, the tolerant animal is sacrificed, and spleen is isolated in sterile fashion. Spleens are disaggregated using a 70-μm nylon mesh and washed with sterile PBS. B cells are enriched by anti-CD19 magnetic bead isolation, following manufacturer protocol (Miltenyi, Auburn, CA). Purity of B cells is routinely >95%. Yield from an individual animal is typically 15–25 × 106 B cells. If a greater number of cells is needed, B cells isolated from multiple tolerant mice are pooled. 5 × 106 B cells from tolerant WT C57BL/6 or OBI mice are injected into B6.129S2-Ighmtm1Cgn/J (μMT) mice via tail or penile vein.

For iTreg and Tactivated cell differentiation, naive T cells were isolated and 24 well sterile tissue culture plates (Corning, Corning, NY) were coated anti-CD3ε (145–2C11, Biolegend) and anti-CD28 (37.51, Biolegend) as described 36 (link). Naive CD4+ T-cells were resuspended in complete RPMI media supplemented with 100 IU/ml recombinant human IL-2 for both iTreg and Tactivated, with additional 5 ng/ml recombinant human TGF-β for iTreg and 10 μg/ml anti-TGF-β (1D11.16.8, BioXcell, West Lebanon, NH) for Tactivated cultures. 3 × 105 cells were added to the wells at a volume of 1 ml/well. Cells were cultured at 37°C 5% CO2 for 3 days. Prior to experiments, live Tactivated and iTreg were FACS sorted based on their Foxp3-GFP expression status.
IL-2/anti–IL-2 mAb (JES6-1-A12, Bioxcell) complexes were prepared and injected as in 37 (link) to expand antigen-specific tTregs in vivo. Antigen-specific Tregs were isolated from spleens of the TCR transgenic animals by FACS sorting based on Foxp3 reporter expression. Alternatively, antigen-specific tTregs were expanded in vitro. For in vitro proliferation, Tregs were cultured for three days in the presence of plate bound anti-CD3ε (145–2C11; 2 ug/mL), anti-CD28 (37.51; 2 ug/mL) and IL-2 (100 U/mL). On day 3, cells were split 1:2 and cultured with only IL-2. Tregs were harvested on day 5 and FACS sorted for Foxp3 reporter.

The method to differentiate iTfh1, iTfh2, and iTfh17-polarized cells in vitro was developed based on our previous paper (Gao et al., 2020 (link)). In brief, red blood cell lysed splenocytes from WT mice were left untreated (for differentiating iTh0/1/2/17) or pre-treated by 1 μg/mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 24 hr in the complete RPMI media. 5×105 per well LPS pre-treated splenocytes were co-cultured with FACS purified OT-II cells at the ratio of 50:1 in the presence of 1 μg/mL OVA323-339 peptide and indicated Cytokines (Table 3) for 72 hr to differentiate iTfh1/2/17 cells. No Cytokines were added for differentiating Th0 cells. Neutralizing antibodies anti-IL-4, anti-IFN-γ, and anti-TGF-β (BioxCell) were used at 10 μg/mL. Cytokines were purchased from PeproTech.

For nonpolarizing CD4+ T cell (Th0) activation, a protocol previously described elsewhere was used (18 (link)). Briefly, aseptically purified naïve CD4+ T cells were resuspended in complete media supplemented with 100 U/ml IL-2 (Peprotech; Rocky Hill, NJ, USA) and 10 µg/ml anti-TGF-β (Bioxcell; West Lebanon, NH, USA) and plated on sterile 24 well tissue culture plates (Corning/Life Sciences; Tewksbury, MA, USA) previously coated with 4 µg/ml anti-mouse CD3ε (Clone 145–2C11, Biolegend; San Diego, CA, USA) and 4 µg/ml anti-mouse CD28 (Clone 37.12, Biolegend). Cells were incubated for up to 96 h in a 5% CO2 humidified tissue culture incubator at 37°C.

24 well plates were coated with 10 μg/ml anti-CD3ε (BioXCell BE0001–1) overnight at 4°C. Plates were washed out with PBS, and plated with 5×105 to 1.5×106 naïve (CD4+Foxp3CD25CD44loCD62Lhi) T cells FACS sorted from TCli TCRαβ Foxp3IRES-GFPRag1+/− Tg or TCli TCRβ Foxp3Thy1.1 IFNγYFP IL-17AGFPTcra+/− mice in D10 in Th0 conditions (1 μg/ml anti-CD28 (BioXcell #BE0015–1), 10 μg/ml anti-TGFβ (BioXcell #BE0057), 5 μg/ml anti-IL-12 (BioXCell #BE0052), 5 μg/ml anti-IFNγ (BioXCell #BE0054), 5 mg/ml anti-IL4 (BioXCell #BE0045)). TCRα chain IRES-Thy1.1 retroviral transduction was performed as described (Hsieh et al., 2004 (link)) using TransIT-293 (Thermo Fisher #MIR2700). Transduced cultures were left to rest in Th0 media for ~66 hours. Foxp3 TCRα-transduced Thy1.1+ cells were sorted by FACS and 2×104 sorted cells were retro-orbitally injected into each host for in vivo analysis unless otherwise specified. Cells were stained with CTV (Thermo Fisher #C34571) in some experiments. Transferred cells were identified as CD4+ Vβ6+ Thy1.1+. For transcription factor staining experiments, 105 cells were injected per mouse to increase recovery. Transcription factors were stained using the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (Thermo Fisher #00–5523-00).

CD4+ T cells were isolated as described above. MC38 or Hepa1-6 tumor cells were harvested from culture, along with the conditioned medium. The tumor cells were treated with 50 µg/mL mitomycin-c for 30 min at 37 °C. Tumor cells were then washed twice with medium, and co-cultured with T cells at a 1:2 ratio (50 K tumor cells to 100 K T cells) and 50 K anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabeads. The tumor conditioned medium was transferred back to the coculture, supplemented with HEPES, L-glutamine, MEM, b-mercaptoethanol, and IL-2. T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry after 4 days. In experiments with anti-TGFβ blockade, anti-TGFβ (Bioxcell) or isotype control was added into culture at 20 µg/mL.

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.
