Staining for surface markers was performed by incubating cells with antibody at 1:200 dilutions in fluorescence-activated cell sorting buffer (0.1% BSA in PBS) for 30 min at 4 °C. For intracellular cytokine staining of IFNγ and TNFα, surface markers were stained before fixation/permeabilization (BD Cytofix/Cytoperm Kit, #554714; BD Biosciences) (40 (link)). Flow antibodies were purchased from BioLegend with the information as follows: CD8a-BV786 (#563332), CD11c-BV786 (#563735), PD1-PE/Cy7 (#109109), TIM3-APC (#119705), KLRG1-FITC (#138409), LAG3-PerCP/Cy5.5 (#125211), TNFα-PE/Cy7 (#506323), and Granzyme B-Alexa 700 (#372221). Samples were acquired on BD LSRFortessa flow cytometer and analyzed with FlowJo software (https://www.flowjo.com/solutions/flowjo) (Tree Star) unless otherwise stated.
