Class switch recombination assays were performed essentially as previously described (Noordermeer et al, 2018 (link)). 1 × 105 CH12F3‐2 cells were plated in 24‐well plates in growth medium supplemented with 1 μg/ml anti‐CD40 antibody (eBioscience), 1 ng/ml TGF‐β (R&D Systems), and 10 ng/ml mIL‐4 (R&D Systems). After 48 h, cells were harvested, stained with anti‐IgA‐PE (Southern Biotech), and fixed with 4% formaldehyde. Fluorescence signal was acquired on an Attune NxT Flow Cytometer (Thermo‐Fisher). Data were analyzed using FlowJo software (BD Biosciences).
