Supplementary Methods Reagents used in flow cytometry studies For phenotypic characterizations the following antibodies were used: anti-cd16/cd3 (4G, TCC) anti-cd19 (1D3, TCC), anti-cd3 (145-C11, TCC), anti-nk1.1 (PK136, TCC), anti-nkp46 (91.4, ebioscience, Frankfurt, Germany), anti-ly6g (18, BD), anti-ly6c (L-1, BD), anti-cd14 (mil4r-m1, BD), anti-cd11b (M1/7, BD), anti-cd11c (N418, TCC or BD), anti-gr1 (RB6-8C5, BD), CD86 (GL-1, BioLegend), anti-cd31 (MEC 13.3, BD), anti-mhcii (Tib1, TCC), anti-mhci (B.49, TCC) anti-cd49d (R1-, ebioscience), anti-cd115 (FS98, ebioscience) and anti-f4/8 (BM8, ebioscience), anti-cd3 (UCHT1, BD), anti-cd4 (191, TCC), anti- CD8 (53-6.7, BD). For intracellular cytokine staining the following antibodies were used: anti-tnfα(xt-,tcc) anti-ifnγ (XMG1., BD) and anti-il17(n49-653, BD). To guarantee consistency between experiments, gates were set using fluorescence minus one controls on whole lung (i.e. not fractionated) before being applied to fractionated samples. t least 1 1 6 cells were acquired on a FCS-CantoII or LSRII (BD) and analyzed by FlowJo software (Tree Star Inc., shland, OR, US). Cytological analysis Cytospins of BM-MDSCs were generated using a CytoSpin III centrifuge (Thermo Scientific Shandon, Hudson, NH, US). Samples were stained by modified Giemsa (Differential Quick Stain Kit, Polyscience Inc., Warrington, P, US). t least cells from five microscopic fields were quantified to assess cell morphology. E
nalysis of co-culture supernatants Chemokine and cytokine concentrations were analyzed using immunoassay (Bio-Rad, Munich, Germany), commercial TNFα or IL-1 ELIS (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, US) or in-house IL-6 ELIS. Cell death was assessed by detecting lactate dehydrogenase levels in co-culture supernatants (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). E3
Supplementary Figures E1-E4 Figure E1. Gene expression and cytokine abundance in lung homogenates/sera from TB-resistant and -susceptible inbred mouse strains Expression of MDSC-associated genes in lungs of infected C57BL/6 and 19S mice at day 7 p.i. () and day 14 p.i. (B). Fold expression + indicates upregulation in 19S mice; expression denotes elevated expression in C57BL/6 mice. Fold change calculated as: fold change in C57BL/6 over fold change in 19S lungs. (C) Cytokine levels in lung and serum at day 5 p.i. in C57BL/6 and 19S mice. (D) Gene expression of selected molecules allowing distinction between MDSCs and tumorassociated neutrophils in Mtb-infected C57BL/6 and 19S animals (MDSC profile: fold expression < to ; tumor-associated neutrophil profile: fold change < or >+). ( D) Values from three independent experiments, each with five specimens per mouse strain, median±iqr, Mann Whitney test. **** P.1 Figure E. Gating strategy applied for flow cytometry analysis Single cell suspensions from whole lung or MCS-purified cells were analyzed by 8- color flow cytometry. Leukocytes were selected before all dump + B cells (CD19 + ), T cells (CD3 + ), NK/NKT cells (NK1.1 + and/or Nkp46 + ) were excluded from the analysis. Subsequently, dendritic cells and alveolar macrophages (CD11c + ) were eliminated from the analysis. CD11b + Ly6G + cells and CD11b + Ly6G cell subsets were selected and the latter was then further gated on Ly6C expression. Finally, both CD11b + Ly6G + and CD11b + Ly6G Ly6C + cells were analyzed for marker expression. E4
(B) Representative plots for CD11b and Gr1 expression on unfractionated lung cells after exclusion of Dump + and CD11c + cells. (C) Representative plots for CD14 expression throughout the course of Mtb infection. Due to the heightened TBsusceptibilty of the 19S strain, analysis for days 8 and 6 p.i. could not be performed.
