Mesenteric lymphoid nods (MLN) were gently extruded through a 50 μm-mesh Nylon cell strainer (BD) to isolate mononuclear cells. Then, cells were suspended in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% of FBS, 2 mM l-glutamine, 50 U/mg penicillin, and 50 µ/mg streptomycin (Lonza, Levallois-Perret, France). For flow cytometry analysis, aliquots of 106–107 cells per sample were labelled with anti-CD3-FICT, anti-CD4-PerCP, anti-Tbet-APC and anti-Gata3-PE according to the manufacturer’s instruction (eBioscience). The cells were analyzed using flow cytometry (Accuri, BD) and CFlow Sampler software (BD Biosciences) as described previously30 (link).
