Whole cell extracts were prepared from FACS-sorted WT and DKO RFP+ CD4+ T cells (Tregs) as described previously [20 (link)]. Sorted Tregs were incubated for 1 hr at 37°C with or without 50nM Bafilomycin A1 (B1793; Sigma) for blockade of lysosome function. Primary antibodies used for Western blot analyses were as follows: anti-LC3 A/B (D3U4C, Cell Signaling, 12741), anti-actin (I-19, SantaCruz, SC-1616), anti-SWAP-70 (Q-28, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, SC-81991), anti-LRG47/IRGM1 (A19, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, SC-11075), anti-GBP1-5 (H-300, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, SC-28579), and anti-Tubulin (D66, Sigma, T0198). Anti-DEF6 antibody was generated in rabbit as previously described [18 (link)].
