This representative schema describes the gating for H-STS cells double stained for CD80 and CD86. To set the negative population in step 1, live H-STS cells stained with appropriate isotype controls were gated from an SSC-H versus FSC-H scatterplot (step 1, R1, left panel). A quadrant gate ‘QG1’ was applied to the ‘R1’ population to define and locate the negative staining population in the lower left quadrant (step 1, right panel). This gate was then applied to the live cell ‘R1’ gate of subsequent samples that were positively stained with CD80 and CD86 antibodies as in step 2a; for example, H-STS cells treated with DMSO as indicated here are gated in step 3a, to segregate CD80- and CD86-positive populations. Similarly, samples treated with entinostat were gated by applying the QG1 gate to the corresponding live gate R1 as in step 3b.
