Summary: | Summary: This protocol describes an ex vivo cell culture system for simultaneously generating a mixture of CD4+ T helper lineages, including T helper 17 (Th17), RORγt+ Treg, and conventional Treg (cTreg), in proportions representative of those found in mucosal tissues in vivo. When combined with a co-culture approach, this system allows a more rapid assessment of a candidate molecule’s T cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic functions over the traditional bone marrow chimera and co-transfer approaches.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Ma et al. (2022). : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
