madSTORM中的顺序多路复用，漂移校正和校准程序允许在单元格中精确，高度多路复用异构结构的可视化。 10此外，madSTORM避免了多色STORM的局限性，如非远红色染料9,12的色差和次优照相切换/发射性能。由于洗脱步骤显着降低了来自顺序结合的抗体的空间干扰，所以可以使用madSTORM进行细胞样品的重复成像，超过先前技术9,15,21所达到的6-10轮复用成像。此外，顺序...

已经开发了各种超分辨率显微技术来克服光学显微镜（〜200nm）的衍射极限。其中包括一类称为单分子定位显微术（SMLM）的技术，包括光激活定位显微镜（PALM）和随机光学重建显微镜（STORM）。 SMLM技术共享使用可在on（荧光）和off（暗/光切换）状态之间切换的荧光团，允许来自单分子1,2,3的荧光的顺序定位。 由于其与商业上可获得的染料和显微镜的兼容性，STORM（dSTORM）直接成为广泛采用的SMLM技术。 dSTORM可以定期实现〜10 nm的定位精度，定义为计算衍射中心的不确定度离子限制点扩散函数（PSF）。然而，尽管使用本地化算法估计的高精度5,6,7 ，单个分子的实际位置的准确确定受到一些问题的阻碍。首先，在图像采集期间显微镜平台的机械运动增加了定位精度的显着不确定性。由于SMLM图像通过数千个延时帧获得，显微镜平台的纳米尺度运动可能会显着损害最终超分辨率图像8的精度。为了补偿图像采集期间的阶段移动，通常基于来自图像本身（互相关）或来自基准标记（基准校正）的顺序定位的基于回归的拟合来估计阶段漂移。 Howev呃，这些方法需要优化每个图像堆叠的多个参数，并且不能在诸如机械振动的短时间尺度上考虑阶段运动。金纳米颗粒和多色荧光珠已经用作SMLM中的基准标记，但它们不是光稳定的，并且在漂移校正后比使用的氮空位中心荧光纳米钻石（FND）显着降低精度在madSTORM 10 。 除了衍射极限外，光学显微镜进一步受光谱限制。多个目标的同时可视化需要具有非重叠光谱特征的荧光探针，通常将基于荧光的光学显微镜限制为6种颜色，并将SMLM限制为2-3色4,11,12。此外，非线性色差导致多色图像的偏移，w需要使用多色基准标记8,13的广泛对准程序。为了克服这些限制，先前的研究已经使用重复光漂白或连续结合的荧光团14,15,16,17,18,19的化学淬灭成像了多个靶。虽然这些方法可以克服显微镜的光谱极限，但是已知荧光漂白是有毒的方法20 ，而延长的漂白或猝灭可能引起不期望的副作用，例如交联失去。此外，荧光探针的积累可导致样品中结合位点的空间阻断，防止表位的大规模复用和强大的靶向。为了避免这种空间干扰，最近的一个小编使用随机交换自由扩散的蛋白质片段21实现多路复用。尽管这种方法允许细胞结构的密集标记，但是它需要广泛的生物化学制备以分离肽片段，不能定位单分子位置，并且不容易利用市售的探针进行大规模复制。我们提供一个详细的视频协议，描述荧光抗体的顺序结合和洗脱，用于复用，抗体大小限制的dSTORM（madSTORM）成像，以及使用荧光纳米金刚石来实现精确的漂移校正和对准。

Imaging heterogeneous cellular structures using single molecule localization microscopy has been hindered by inadequate localization precision and ...

The overall goal of this imaging protocol is to visualize multiple proteins in an activated T cell, using single molecule localisation microscopy. This method can help answer key questions in the T cell activation field such as, the single molecule distribution of TC or microcluster components. The main advantage of this technique is that, it allows greater multiplexing than achieved by current supervised solution microscopy methods.To begin, directly conjugate antibodies with Alexa 647 dye, using the Alexa 647 antibody labeling kit, following the labeling protocol provided by the manufacturer. Centrifuge the labeled antibodies for five minutes at 20, 800 times G.Following centrifugation, collect the supernatant to remove the aggregated antibodies. Next, coat A12 cover slip chambers with 250 microliters of 01%poly-l-lyzine for 15 minutes.Then, aspirate the solution without rinsing and dry the chambers at 65 degree celsius for 30 minutes. Prepare dilution of 100 nanometer fluorescent nanodiamonds or FNDs, in one PBS, test various dilutions to ensure that enough FNDs will be visible in each field. Vortex the diluted FNDs for one minute.Next, sonicate the FND supernatant for 30 seconds at a high power setting. Incubate the sonicated FND supernatant in a poly-l-lyzine coated A12 cover slip chamber for 30 minutes at room temperature. After washing the chamber five times, with 1x PBS, visualize the FND coated chamber using 647 nanometer laser excitation on the turf microscope.Use a 100x objective tealed a 61 by 61 micron field of view. Ideally, four to 10 individual FNDs should be visible in the field of view, given the appropriate dilution of FNDs, with at least one FND present in each quadrant of the imaging field. Once the proper density of FNDs has been achieved, add 250 microliters of anti-CD3 antibody to each well.Incubate the chamber for one hour at 37 degree celsius or overnight at four degree celsius. Following incubation, remove the solution from the wells and add 1x PBS for 30 seconds. Repeat this wash step five times.Spin one milliliter of Jurkat T cells at 800 times G for six minutes. Jurkat T cells should ideally be at a concentration of 0.5 to one million cells per milliliter concentration before spinning. Re-suspend the cells in 300 microliters of 1x HBS solution.Meanwhile, add 150 microliters of 1x HBS solution to each well of the chamber and incubate at 37 degree celsius for 15 minutes. Then, add 50 microliters of the re-suspended Jurkat T cells to each well and incubate for three minutes at 37 degree celsius. Next, add 300 microliters of 4%paraformaldehyde to each well and incubate for 30 minutes at 37 degree celsius.After washing three times with 1x PBS, permeabilise the cells, by adding 250 microliters of 01%Triton x solution for five minutes at room temperature. Following three additional washes with 1x PBS, add 250 microliters of 1%fish gelatin solution to each well for 30 minutes at room temperature. Finally, wash the cells three more times with 1x PBS.Add 200 microliters of labeled antibody at 0.1 to 0.5 micrograms per milliliter to the fixed cells for one hour at room temperature. After washing the cells five times with 1x PBS, add one milliliter of STORM buffer and cover the chamber with a glass cover slip to limit exposure. Use clamps on the microscope stage to hold the cover slip chamber in position.This step is critical for large scale multiplexing, since the same field of view must be present after several rounds of washing and incubation. Using a low 647 nanometer laser power in turf mode, locate a stained cell with at least three FNDs in the field of view. Increase the 647 nanometer laser power and acquire the images.Typical parameters can be found in the text protocol. Wash the cells five times with 1x tris-buffered saline or 1x TBS. Then, add one milliliter of elution buffer and incubate at room temperature for one minute.Repeat the elution three times. Use the exact elution conditions and a number of elution rinses needed to remove the signal as specified for each antibody. Then, wash the cells three times with 1x TBS and add one milliliter of 1x PBS.Proper execution of this elution step, will result in removal of previously bound antibody and allow higher efficiency for subsequent antibody labeling. It is important to use TBS for washes to minimize precipitation between elution steps. Photo bleach the cells using a 647 nanometer laser at high power, with a 405 nanometer laser at two to five milliwatts to photo activate Alexa 647 dyes in the dark state.Wait until all remaining signal from non-eluted antibody is photo bleached. Typically, this takes two to five seconds of laser exposure. Acquire sample images, using the STORM settings after illusion and photo bleaching, to confirm removal of the signal.Next, add 250 microliters of 4%paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes. This prevents reverse cross-linking of fixed molecules in the cell. Wash the cells three times with 1x PBS.Repeat these steps for sequential labeling of multiple targets. Finally, perform drift correction and alignment of multiplex image stacks at described in the text protocol. The sequential illusion and standing method was used to produce the multiplex MET STORM image of microclusters and other structures in an activated Jurkat T cell.The final MET STORM image has been corrected for a drift and alignment, using average fiducial correction and FND fiducial markers. Shown here, are single molecule localisation microscopy images of a single FND localized in 30, 000 image frames before and after drift correction with average fiducial correction. Similarly, here are single molecule localisation microscopy images of an activated Jurkat T cell stained with anti-phosphorelated SLP76 antibody and FND futusial markers, before and after drift correction with average futusial correction.After watching this video, you should have a good understanding of how to perform multiplexed super resolution imaging of proteins in an activated T cell, using MET STORM. Once mastered, this technique can be done in three hours for each multiplexing round. While attempting this procedure, it's important to remember to keep the specimen in the same position on the microscope stage.This can be done using stage clamps. Don't forget that working with our modified STORM buffer, can be extremely hazardous and precautions such as, respirators and goggles should always be taken while performing this procedure.

Retroviral Transduction of T-cell Receptors in Mouse T-cells

T-cell receptors (TCRs) play a central role in the immune system. TCRs on T-cell surfaces can specifically recognize peptide antigens presented by antigen presenting cells (APCs)1. This recognition leads to the activation of T-cells and a series of functional outcomes (e.g. cytokine production, killing of the target cells). Understanding the functional role of TCRs is critical to harness the power of the immune system to treat a variety of immunology related diseases (e.g. cancer or autoimmunity).
It is convenient to study TCRs in mouse models, which can be accomplished in several ways. Making TCR transgenic mouse models is costly and time-consuming and currently there are only a limited number of them available2-4. Alternatively, mice with antigen-specific T-cells can be generated by bone marrow chimera. This method also takes several weeks and requires expertise5. Retroviral transduction of TCRs into in vitro activated mouse T-cells is a quick and relatively easy method to obtain T-cells of desired peptide-MHC specificity. Antigen-specific T-cells can be generated in one week and used in any downstream applications. Studying transduced T-cells also has direct application to human immunotherapy, as adoptive transfer of human T-cells transduced with antigen-specific TCRs is an emerging strategy for cancer treatment6.
Here we present a protocol to retrovirally transduce TCRs into in vitro activated mouse T-cells. Both human and mouse TCR genes can be used. Retroviruses carrying specific TCR genes are generated and used to infect mouse T-cells activated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies. After in vitro expansion, transduced T-cells are analyzed by flow cytometry.

Ex vivo Imaging of T Cells in Murine Lymph Node Slices with Widefield and Confocal Microscopes

Na&iuml;ve T cells continuously traffic to secondary lymphoid organs, including peripheral lymph nodes, to detect rare expressed antigens. The migration of T cells into lymph nodes is a complex process which involves both cellular and chemical factors including chemokines. Recently, the use of two-photon microscopy has permitted to track T cells in intact lymph nodes and to derive some quantitative information on their behavior and their interactions with other cells. While there are obvious advantages to an in vivo system, this approach requires a complex and expensive instrumentation and provides limited access to the tissue. To analyze the behavior of T cells within murine lymph nodes, we have developed a slice assay 
1, originally set up by neurobiologists and transposed recently to murine thymus 2. In this technique, fluorescently labeled T cells are plated on top of an acutely prepared lymph node slice. In this video-article, the localization and migration of T cells into the tissue are analyzed in real-time with a widefield and a confocal microscope. The technique which complements in vivo two-photon microscopy offers an effective approach to image T cells in their natural environment and to elucidate mechanisms underlying T cell migration.

Expansion of Human Peripheral Blood  &gamma;&delta; T Cells using Zoledronate

Human &gamma;&delta; T cells can recognize and respond to a wide variety of stress-induced antigens, thereby developing innate broad anti-tumor and anti-infective activity.1 The majority of &gamma;&delta; T cells in peripheral blood have the V&gamma;9V&delta;2 T cell receptor. These cells recognize antigen in a major histocompatibility complex-independent manner and develop strong cytolytic and Th1-like effector functions.1Therefore, &gamma;&delta; T cells are attractive candidate effector cells for cancer immunotherapy. V&gamma;9V&#x03B4;2 T cells respond to phosphoantigens such as (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate (HMBPP), which is synthesized in bacteria via isoprenoid biosynthesis;2 and isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP), which is produced in eukaryotic cells through the mevalonate pathway.3 In physiological condition, the generation of IPP in nontransformed cell is not sufficient for the activation of &gamma;&delta; T cells. Dysregulation of mevalonate pathway in tumor cells leads to accumulation of IPP and &gamma;&delta; T cells activation.3 Because aminobisphosphonates (such as pamidronate or zoledronate) inhibit farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS), the enzyme acting downstream of IPP in the mevalonate pathway, intracellular levels of IPP and sensitibity to &gamma;&delta; T cells recognition can be therapeutically increased by aminobisphosphonates. IPP accumulation is less efficient in nontransfomred cells than tumor cells with a pharmacologically relevant concentration of aminobisphosphonates, that allow us immunotherapy for cancer by activating &gamma;&delta; T cells with aminobisphosphonates. 4 Interestingly, IPP accumulates in monocytes when PBMC are treated with aminobisphosphonates, because of efficient drug uptake by these cells. 5 Monocytes that accumulate IPP become antigen-presenting cells and stimulate V&gamma;9V&delta;2 T cells in the peripheral blood.6 Based on these mechanisms, we developed a technique for large-scale expansion of &gamma;&delta; T cell cultures using zoledronate and interleukin-2 (IL-2).7 Other methods for expansion of &gamma;&delta; T cells utilize the synthetic phosphoantigens bromohydrin pyrophosphate (BrHPP)8 or 2-methyl-3-butenyl-1-pyrophosphate (2M3B1PP).9 All of these methods allow ex vivo expansion, resulting in large numbers of &gamma;&delta; T cells for use in adoptive immunotherapy. However, only zoledronate is an FDA-approved commercially available reagent. Zoledronate-expanded &gamma;&delta; T cells display CD27-CD45RA- effector memory phenotype and thier function can be evaluated by IFN-&gamma; production assay. 7

A method to expand &gamma;&delta; T cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) is described. PBMC-derived &gamma;&delta; T cells are stimulated and expanded using zoledronate and interleukin-2 (IL-2). Large scale expansion of &gamma;&delta; T cells can be applied to autologous cellular immunotherapy of cancer.

Generation of Induced Regulatory T Cells from Primary Human Na&iuml;ve and Memory T Cells

The development and maintenance of immunosuppressive CD4+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) contribute to the peripheral tolerance needed to remain in immunologic homeostasis with the vast amount of self and commensal antigens in and on the human body. Perturbations in the balance between Tregs and inflammatory conventional T cells can result in immunopathology or cancer. Although therapeutic injection of Tregs has been shown to be efficacious in murine models of colitis1 , type I diabetes2 , rheumatoid arthritis and graft versus host disease,4 several fundamental differences in human versus mouse Treg biology5 has thus far precluded clinical use. The lack of sufficient number, purity, stability and homing specificity of therapeutic Tregs necessitated a dynamic platform of human Treg development on which to optimize conditions for their ex vivo expansion6.
Here we describe a method for the differentiation of induced Tregs (iTregs) from a single human peripheral blood donor which can be broken down into four stages: isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, magnetic selection of CD4+ T cells, in vitro cell culture and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) of T cell subsets. Since the Treg signature transcription factor forkhead box P3 (FoxP3) is an activation-induced transcription factor in humans7 and no other unique marker exists, a combinatorial panel of markers must be used to identify T cells with suppressor activity. After six days in culture, cells in our system can be demarcated into na&iuml;ve T cells, memory T cells or iTregs based on their relative expression of CD25 and CD45RA. As memory and na&iuml;ve T cells have different reported polarization requirements and plasticities8 , pre-sorting of the initial T cell population into CD45RA+ and CD45RO+ subsets can be used to examine these discrepancies. Consistent with others, our CD25HiCD45RA- iTregs express high levels of FoxP39 , GITR and CTLA-411 and low levels of CD12712 . Following FACS of each population, resultant cells can be used in a suppressor assay which evaluates the relative ability to retard the proliferation of carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE)-labeled autologous T cells.

Generation of Induced Regulatory T Cells from Primary Human Na&amp;#239;ve and Memory T Cells

We describe a method for generating regulatory, memory and na&#239;ve T cells from a single human blood donor. Polarized Tregs can be then compared to other subsets in a variety of genetic and functional applications with genetic homogeneity, including a suppression assay also detailed here.

Highly Resolved Intravital Striped-illumination Microscopy of Germinal Centers

Monitoring cellular communication by intravital deep-tissue multi-photon microscopy is the key for understanding the fate of immune cells within thick tissue samples and organs in health and disease. By controlling the scanning pattern in multi-photon microscopy and applying appropriate numerical algorithms, we developed a striped-illumination approach, which enabled us to achieve 3-fold better axial resolution and improved signal-to-noise ratio, i.e. contrast, in more than 100 &#181;m tissue depth within highly scattering tissue of lymphoid organs as compared to standard multi-photon microscopy. The acquisition speed as well as photobleaching and photodamage effects were similar to standard photo-multiplier-based technique, whereas the imaging depth was slightly lower due to the use of field detectors. By using the striped-illumination approach, we are able to observe the dynamics of immune complex deposits on secondary follicular dendritic cells &#8211; on the level of a few protein molecules in germinal centers.

High-resolution intravital imaging with enhanced contrast up to 120 &#181;m depth in lymph nodes of adult mice is achieved by spatially modulating the excitation pattern of a multi-focal two-photon microscope. In 100 &#181;m depth we measured resolutions of 487 nm (lateral) and 551 nm (axial), thus circumventing scattering and diffraction limits.

Averaging of Viral Envelope Glycoprotein Spikes from Electron Cryotomography Reconstructions using Jsubtomo

Enveloped viruses utilize membrane glycoproteins on their surface to mediate entry into host cells. Three-dimensional structural analysis of these glycoprotein &#8216;spikes&#8217; is often technically challenging but important for understanding viral pathogenesis and in drug design. Here, a protocol is presented for viral spike structure determination through computational averaging of electron cryo-tomography data. Electron cryo-tomography is a technique in electron microscopy used to derive three-dimensional tomographic volume reconstructions, or tomograms, of pleomorphic biological specimens such as membrane viruses in a near-native, frozen-hydrated state. These tomograms reveal structures of interest in three dimensions, albeit at low resolution. Computational averaging of sub-volumes, or sub-tomograms, is necessary to obtain higher resolution detail of repeating structural motifs, such as viral glycoprotein spikes. A detailed computational approach for aligning and averaging sub-tomograms using the Jsubtomo software package is outlined. This approach enables visualization of the structure of viral glycoprotein spikes to a resolution in the range of 20-40 &#197; and study of the study of higher order spike-to-spike interactions on the virion membrane. Typical results are presented for Bunyamwera virus, an enveloped virus from the family Bunyaviridae. This family is a structurally diverse group of pathogens posing a threat to human and animal health.

An approach is presented for determining structures of viral membrane glycoprotein complexes using a combination of electron cryo-tomography and sub-tomogram averaging with the computational package Jsubtomo.

Super-resolution Imaging of the Natural Killer Cell Immunological Synapse on a Glass-supported Planar Lipid Bilayer

The glass-supported planar lipid bilayer system has been utilized in a variety of disciplines. One of the most useful applications of this technique has been in the study of immunological synapse formation, due to the ability of the glass-supported planar lipid bilayers to mimic the surface of a target cell while forming a horizontal interface. The recent advances in super-resolution imaging have further allowed scientists to better view the fine details of synapse structure. In this study, one of these advanced techniques, stimulated emission depletion (STED), is utilized to study the structure of natural killer (NK) cell synapses on the supported lipid bilayer. Provided herein is an easy-to-follow protocol detailing: how to prepare raw synthetic phospholipids for use in synthesizing glass-supported bilayers; how to determine how densely protein of a given concentration occupies the bilayer's attachment sites; how to construct a supported lipid bilayer containing antibodies against NK cell activating receptor CD16; and finally, how to image human NK cells on this bilayer using STED super-resolution microscopy, with a focus on distribution of perforin positive lytic granules and filamentous actin at NK synapses. Thus, combining the glass-supported planar lipid bilayer system with STED technique, we demonstrate the feasibility and application of this combined technique, as well as intracellular structures at NK immunological synapse with super-resolution.

We describe here a combination of the glass-supported lipid bilayer technique of forming immunological synapses with the super-resolution imaging technique of stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy. The goal of this protocol is to provide users with the instructions necessary to successfully carry out these two techniques.

Analysis of Yersinia enterocolitica Effector Translocation into Host Cells Using Beta-lactamase Effector Fusions

Many gram-negative bacteria including pathogenic Yersinia spp. employ type III secretion systems to translocate effector proteins into eukaryotic target cells. Inside the host cell the effector proteins manipulate cellular functions to the benefit of the bacteria. To better understand the control of type III secretion during host cell interaction, sensitive and accurate assays to measure translocation are required. We here describe the application of an assay based on the fusion of a Yersinia enterocolitica effector protein fragment (Yersinia outer protein; YopE) with TEM-1 beta-lactamase for quantitative analysis of translocation. The assay relies on cleavage of a cell permeant FRET dye (CCF4/AM) by translocated beta-lactamase fusion. After cleavage of the cephalosporin core of CCF4 by the beta-lactamase, FRET from coumarin to fluorescein is disrupted and excitation of the coumarin moiety leads to blue fluorescence emission. Different applications of this method have been described in the literature highlighting its versatility. The method allows for analysis of translocation in vitro and also in in vivo, e.g., in a mouse model. Detection of the fluorescence signals can be performed using plate readers, FACS analysis or fluorescence microscopy. In the setup described here, in vitro translocation of effector fusions into HeLa cells by different Yersinia mutants is monitored by laser scanning microscopy. Recording intracellular conversion of the FRET reporter by the beta-lactamase effector fusion in real-time provides robust quantitative results. We here show exemplary data, demonstrating increased translocation by a Y. enterocolitica YopE mutant compared to the wild type strain.

In Vitro Differentiation of Human CD4+FOXP3+ Induced Regulatory T Cells (iTregs) from Na&#239;ve CD4+ T Cells Using a TGF-&#946;-containing Protocol

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are an integral part of peripheral tolerance, suppressing immune reactions against self-structures and thus preventing autoimmune diseases. Clinical approaches to adoptively transfer Tregs, or to deplete Tregs in cancer, are underway with promising first outcomes. 
Because the number of naturally occurring Tregs (nTregs) is very limited, studying certain Treg features using in vitro induced Tregs (iTregs) can be advantageous. To date, the best although not absolutely specific protein marker to delineate Tregs is the transcription factor FOXP3. Despite the importance of Tregs including non-redundant roles of peripherally induced Tregs, the protocols to generate iTregs are currently controversial, particularly for human cells. This protocol therefore describes the in vitro differentiation of human CD4+FOXP3+ iTregs from human na&#239;ve T cells using a range of Treg-inducing factors (TGF-&#946; plus IL-2 only, or their combination with retinoic acid, rapamycin or butyrate) in parallel. It also describes the phenotyping of these cells by flow cytometry and qRT-PCR. 
These protocols result in reproducible expression of FOXP3 and other Treg signature genes and enable the study of general FOXP3-regulatory mechanisms as well as protocol-specific effects to delineate the impact of certain factors. iTregs can be utilized to study various phenotypic aspects as well as molecular mechanisms of Treg induction. Detailed molecular studies are facilitated by relatively large cell numbers that can be obtained. 
A limitation for the application of iTregs is the relative instability of FOXP3 expression in these cells compared to nTregs. iTregs generated by these protocols can also be used for functional assays such as studying their suppressive function, in which iTregs induced by TGF-&#946; plus retinoic acid and rapamycin display superior suppressive activity. However, the suppressive capacity of iTregs can differ from nTregs and the use of appropriate controls is crucial.

&lt;em&gt;In Vitro&lt;/em&gt; Differentiation of Human CD4&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;FOXP3&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt; Induced Regulatory T Cells (iTregs) from Na&amp;#239;ve CD4&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt; T Cells Using a TGF-&amp;#946;-containing Protocol

This protocol describes the reproducible generation and phenotyping of human induced regulatory T cells (iTregs) from na&#239;ve CD4+ T cells in vitro. Different protocols for FOXP3 induction allow for the study of specific iTreg phenotypes obtained with respective protocols.

Measurement of T Cell Alloreactivity Using Imaging Flow Cytometry

The measurement of immunological reactivity to donor antigens in transplant recipients is likely to be crucial for the successful reduction or withdrawal of immunosuppression. The mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR), limiting dilution assays, and trans-vivo delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) assay have all been applied to this question, but these methods have limited predictive ability and/or significant practical limitations that reduce their usefulness. Imaging flow cytometry is a technique that combines the multiparametric quantitative powers of flow cytometry with the imaging capabilities of fluorescent microscopy. We recently made use of an imaging flow cytometry approach to define the proportion of recipient T cells capable of forming mature immune synapses with donor antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Using a well-characterized mouse heart transplant model, we have shown that the frequency of in vitro immune synapses among T-APC membrane contact events strongly predicted allograft outcome in rejection, tolerance, and a situation where transplant survival depends on induced regulatory T cells. The frequency of T-APC contacts increased with T cells from mice during acute rejection and decreased with T cells from mice rendered unresponsive to alloantigen. The addition of regulatory T cells to the in vitro system reduced prolonged T-APC contacts. Critically, this effect was also seen with human polyclonally expanded, naturally occurring regulatory T cells, which are known to control the rejection of human tissues in humanized mouse models. Further development of this approach may allow for a deeper characterization of the alloreactive T-cell compartment in transplant recipients. In the future, further development and evaluation of this method using human cells may form the basis for assays used to select patients for immunosuppression minimization, and it can be used to measure the impact of tolerogenic therapies in the clinic.

This paper describes a method for measuring alloreactivity in a mixed population of T cells using imaging flow cytometry.
