OT-I CD8+ T cells in suspension were stained with 2.5 μM Cell Tracker Violet BMQC Dye (C10094, Invitrogen) for 30 min. CM from tumor cells (0.75 mL of medium containing 5% FBS) were plated in the lower wells of a chamber assay plate, and OT-I cells (2.5 × 105 cells in 0.1 mL of medium containing 1% FBS) were placed in the upper wells of the insert. After co-incubation for 1, 2, 4, or 6 h, cells were collected from the bottom wells and subjected to flow cytometry to identify BMQC+ cells70 (link).
