In different healthy and pathological contexts, CD4 and CD8 T cells differentiate into a range of specialized effector and regulatory subsets. In mouse models of aging and autoimmune diseases we study the phenotype of the CD4 T regulatory cells. We identified CTLA-4-secreting cells with an anti-CTLA-4 PE-Cy7 antibody in pre-lupus NXBxW F1 mice.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Splenocytes of a NZBxW 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, CD4 BUV495, etc, in Cell Staining Buffer (Biolegend) incubated 30 min at 4°C.

Tertiary Incubation

Cells were fixed and permeabilized with commercial kit (TrueNuclear Biolegend) for 45 min at 4°C with fixative, 15 min at 4°C with permeabilization buffer, and stained with anti-FOXP3 FITC and anti-CTLA-4 PE-Cy7 1/100 in permeabilization buffer

Detection

Yellow-green laser on Symphony cytometer

Results Summary

We could identify and quantify CTLA-4-secreting FOXP3+ T regulatory cells. PMA+Ionomycin increases the proportion of CTLA4+ cells.

Summary

The Good

Bright, gives good separation.

The Bad

A FMO should be done to set the positive threshold.

The Bottom Line

Good option, reliable, works with nuclear staining.
