In different healthy and pathological contexts, CD4 T cells differentiate into a range of specialized interleukin-secreting subsets. In mouse models of aging and autoimmune diseases we study the plasticity and effector functions of CD4 T helper cells. We used anti-CD3e to further gate on the CD4 and CD8 T cell populations in old C57Bl/6J mice.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Splenocytes of wild-type 24 months-old C57Bl/6J mouse, incubated in complete culture medium at 37 °C with (Restimulated) or without (unstimulated) PMA/ionomycin for 4h and brefeldin A for the 3 last hours.

Primary Incubation

Washed twice in PBS and incubated with L/D fixable aqua dye 20 min at 4°C, then washed twice in PBS.

Blocking Agent

2.4G2

Secondary Incubation

Surface staining with anti-CD3 BUV805 1/200, anti-CD8 FITC, anti-CD4 BUV495, etc., in Cell Staining Buffer (Biolegend) incubated 30 min at 4°C.

Tertiary Incubation

Cells were fixed and permeabilized with a commercial kit to counterstain for cytokines.

Detection

UV laser on Symphony cytometer

Results Summary

The CD3e positive population could be identified but the staining was not so good after stimulation of the cells.

Summary

The Good

Good to increase panel size.

The Bad

Needs to be carefully titrated, signal spreading in other channels. Not very good after stimulation, expensive.

The Bottom Line

Usable but not optimal.
