Impact of Acute methionine restriction on proteome of Th1 cells - Part 2

CD4 T cells were activated using CD3/CD28 antibodies in the presence of IL2 and IL12, to generate Th1 cells. Th1 cells were maintained and expanded in IL2 and IL12, on D5 Th1 cells were sorted for CD4+ expression and DAP1 exclusion. After flow sorting, live TH1 cells were resuspended (1e6 per ml) in methionine free RPMI, supplemented with 10% dialysed FBS, IL2 and IL12, and with L-methionine (100μM, or 1μM). Cells were cultured for 5 hrs before collection for proteomics processing.
