Splenocytes harvested from either naïve donor mice or BMT recipients were analyzed pretransplant or on D10, respectively. unless otherwise specified. Splenic cell suspensions were stained for surface T-cell (CD4, CD8) and activation markers (CD25, CD28, CD62L, CD69) along with intracellular Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNFα) and Interferon Gamma (IFNγ) and then analyzed by flow cytometry using a four-color C6 FlowCytometer (Accuri, Ann Arbor, Michigan) as previously described.20 (link) To analyze Forkhead Box P3 (FoxP3) expression, splenocytes were stained with anti-CD4 and anti-CD25, fixed and permeabilized, and then stained with intracellular anti-FoxP3 (eBioscience, San Diego, California). All monoclonal antibodies were purchased from BD Biosciences Pharmingen (San Diego, California) or eBioscience. Irrelevant fluorochrome rat isotype immunoglobulins were used as negative controls. Data were analyzed using CFlow software (Accuri) as previously described.20 (link),25 (link)
