Single cell suspensions of T cells were stained as described (24 (link)) with a fluorochrome-labeled mAb mixture directed against the cell surface markers CD3, CD4, CD25, CD39, CD44, CD45RA, CD62L, CD95, CD127, CCR7 and CXCR3 (BD PharMingen, Franklin Lakes, NJ, or BioLegend, San Diego, CA). Intracellular B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Foxp3, the proliferation markerKi67, cytotoxic T lymphocyte Ag-4 (CTLA-4) and Helios were stained using an eBioscience Foxp3 Staining kit, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Apoptosis was determined by Annexin V staining (BD PharMingen) and membrane integrity by propidium iodide (PI) staining. Data were acquired on a LSR II or LSR Fortessa (BD Bioscience) and analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star, Ashland, OR, USA).
