The goal of this research study was to determine if B cell depletion altered effector T cell formation during LCMV infection.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Mouse Lymph Node Leukocytes

Primary Incubation

Wash cells once in FACS buffer (PBS plus 1% BSA or serum). Block Fc receptors and stain for viability in PBS for 20 minutes on ice.

Blocking Agent

Fc block (TruStain FcX)

Secondary Incubation

Wash cells once in FACS buffer. Stain with isotype control or PSGL1 antibody (1:500 dilution, 100 uL per million cells) along with other cell surface-directed antibodies for 20 minutes on ice. Wash cells once in FACS buffer. Resuspend cells in 100-250 uL PBS containing 1.5% paraformaldehyde.

Tertiary Incubation

Detection

Flow Cytometer

Results Summary

PSGL-1 clearly segregated pre-memory (PSGL-1+Ly6C-) from effector (PSGL-1+Ly6C+) and follicular helper (PSGL-1loLy6Clo) T cells. With B cell depletion by CD20 mAb, there is a substantial decrease in the proportion of pre-memory T cells.

Summary

The Good

Clearly distinguishes PSGL-1 expression.

The Bad

Could be a brighter antibody.

The Bottom Line

A robust method to subset effector T cell populations.
