PBMC staining and analysis were as described [3 (link)]. Unless otherwise specified, mAbs were from BD Pharmingen and included anti-CD3-Alexa Fluor 700 (UC-HT1), anti-CD4-APC (RPA-T4), anti-CD8-PacificBlue (RPA-T8), anti-CD11c-FITC (BU15, Thermo Scientific), anti-CD14-APC (RMO52, Beckman Coulter), anti-CD16-PacificBlue (3G8), anti-CD19-APC (HIB19) and anti-CD20-FITC (L27), anti-CD56-APC (N901, Beckman Coulter), and anti-NKG2D-PE (1D11; [2 (link)]). Anti-NKG2DL mAb were anti-MICA/B-PE (6D4), anti-ULBP1-PE (170818, R & D Systems), anti-ULBP2/5/6-PE (165903; R & D Systems), anti-ULBP3-PE (166510; R & D Systems), and anti-ULBP4-PE (1H1; [12 (link)]). In some cases, viable cell numbers were limiting resulting in partial data sets.
