Phenotypic Profile of Brain-Resident TCR Transgenic CD4 T Cells, Related to Figure 4
CD4 T cells from perfused brains of TCR transgenic mice and wild-type controls (n = 5) were assessed by high parameter flow cytometry for CD62L, CD44, CD103, CD69, CD25, PD-1, Nrp1, ICOS, KLRG1, ST2, Ki67, Helios, T-bet, CTLA4. (A) tSNE of CD4+Foxp3- conventional 2D2 T cells, gated on CD4+Foxp3-CD3+CD8-CD45+ cells and subdivided into transgene-expressing (Vα3.2+Vβ11+) and transgene-non-expressing (Vα3.2-Vβ11-) cells. The tSNE was built on CD62L, CD44, CD103, CD69, CD25, PD-1, Nrp1, ICOS, KLRG1, ST2, Ki67, Helios, T-bet, CTLA4. FlowSOM clusters are illustrated in color and (B) quantified. (C) Heatmap of expression changes between transgene-expressing (Vα3.2+Vβ11+) and transgene-non-expressing (Vα3.2-Vβ11-) conventional 2D2 CD4+ T cells. (D) tSNE of CD4+Foxp3+ 2D2 regulatory T cells, gated on CD4+Foxp3+CD3+CD8-CD45+ cells and subdivided into transgene-expressing (Vα3.2+Vβ11+) and transgene-non-expressing (Vα3.2-Vβ11-) cells. The tSNE was built on CD62L, CD44, CD103, CD69, CD25, PD-1, Nrp1, ICOS, KLRG1, ST2, Ki67, Helios, T-bet, CTLA4. FlowSOM clusters are illustrated in color and (E) quantified. (F) Heatmap of expression changes between transgene-expressing (Vα2+Vβ5+) and transgene-non-expressing (Vα2-Vβ5-) regulatory T cells. (G) tSNE of CD4+Foxp3- conventional OT-II T cells, gated on CD4+Foxp3-CD3+CD8-CD45+ cells and subdivided into transgene-expressing (Vα2+Vβ5+) and transgene-non-expressing (Vα2-Vβ5-) cells. The tSNE was built on CD62L, CD44, CD103, CD69, CD25, PD-1, Nrp1, ICOS, KLRG1, ST2, Ki67, Helios, T-bet, CTLA4. FlowSOM clusters are illustrated in color and (H) quantified. (I) Heatmap of expression changes between transgene-expressing (Vα2+Vβ5+) and transgene-non-expressing (Vα2-Vβ5-) conventional OT-II CD4+ T cells.
