“…Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from the blood plasma of mice at 21 d were purified and collected as previously described [ 9 ]. Cells were stained with following monoclonal antibodies: fluorescein isothiocyanate–conjugated anti-mouse CD3e (clone 145-2C11, 11-0311-82, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), Percp-Cyanine5.5-conjugated anti-mouse CD8 (clone 53- 6.7, 5-0081-80, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), Apc-Cy7-conjugated anti-mouse CD4 (clone GK15, 561830, BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), APC-conjugated anti-mouse IL-2 (clone JES6-5H4, 17-7021-81, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), and PE-Cyanine7-conjugated anti-mouse TNF-α (clone MP6-XT22, 25-7321-82, Thermo Fisher Scientific) in the dark for 30 min at 4 °C.…”
