Friends, it's fun to see the #immunology community continue to grow! I created a 4th Starter Pack to help folks find each other. If you're an immunologist and you don't see yourself on the lists, let me know 🧪
The authors further showed that mice from JAX lab (where many of us get lab mice from) lack this commensal. Differences in mycobiome can dramatically influence immunity.

In @nature, Liao et al showed this commensal promotes type-2 immunity in the gut via IL-33/ST2, influencing protective anti-helminth responses and food allergy models.

We used BD Cytofix/perm, Foxp3 fix/perm or 2% PFA fixation and these were all compatible with 2W1S tetramer staining and downstream cytokine analyses by flow

I can still see some after stimulation, so it’s not like the stimulation will completely negate tetramer staining (at least for 2W1S-MHCII tetramers). Worth a try!

Agree with the above and I will add that at least for class 2 tetramers, it will depend on the specific tetramers that you use. Unfortunately a lot of the class 2 tetramers are not great compared to class 1, and in my experience both the MFI and % positives may reduce after stimulation, but
