Conjugated antibodies and staining reagents included MIP-1β-PE, CD3-PB, CD3-PE-Cy7, CD3-PerCP-Cy5.5, CD3-APC-Cy7, CD3-Horizon V450, CD4-PerCP-Cy5.5, CD4-AmCyan, CD4-FITC, CD8α-APC, CD8α-APC-Cy7, CD8α-AlexaFluor700, CD8α-FITC, CD8α-APC-H7, CD69- ECD (Beckman Coulter), CD20-Horizon V450, CCR7-FITC (R&D Systems), CD95-APC, CCR7-PerCP-Cy5.5, CD28-PE-Cy7 (eBioscience), granzyme B-AlexaFluor700, perforin-FITC (MabTech), IFNγ-PE-Cy7, TNFα- AlexaFluor700, IL-2-APC, CD95-PE, CD95-APC, and Aqua LIVE/DEAD Fixable Dead Cell Stain (Invitrogen). All reagents are from BD Biosciences unless indicated otherwise. For construction of monomers and tetramers, the following peptides were synthesized and purified to >95% by HPLC by New England Peptide LLC: p11C (CTPYDINQM), p54AS (TVPWPNASL), p54E660 (TVPWPNETL), p68A (STPPLVRLV), and TL8 (TTPESANL). The monomers and tetramers were prepared as previously described [85] (link), [86] (link). Tetramers were prepared using either streptavidin-PE (Prozyme), -APC (Prozyme), -AlexaFluor488 (Invitrogen), or -Qdot655 (Invitrogen). Monomers used in surface plasmon resonance studies were further quantified using an RC DC protein kit (Bio-Rad).
