However, most systems vaccinology approaches utilize total PBMCs in their analyses. This is problematic since the predominant cells in the PBMC fraction can potentially overwhelm the responses of the underrepresented immune cell types in the blood, and the contribution of PMNs is completely ignored. To investigate the contribution of the individual cell types in the immune response following a seasonal TIV influenza vaccination, we purified PBMCs, T-cells, B-cells, monocytes, NK cells, and neutrophils from venous human blood for quantitative proteomic studies. Proteomic analysis of immune cell types using iTRAQ was performed to identify candidate proteins involved in the vaccine immune response. Table A. Yield of PBMCs and PMNs from ~88mL human venous blood Hierarchical clustering and principal component analyses using the iTRAQ data show strategy 2 is better at identifying cell-type specific changes Strategy 1 Strategy 2 Strategy 1 Strategy 2 D C A B Experimental Design Phenotypic analysis of human blood by FACS Figure 4: Whole blood (top), PBMC (middle) and PMN (bottom) cell samples from a single representative donor were stained with a cocktail of antibodies directed against CD3, CD11c, CD14, CD15, CD19, and CD56 cell surface markers for phenotypic analysis by flow cytometry.

The same cell types group together using strategy 2, but not strategy 1. Seasonal TIV Flu Vaccine A B Fig. 1: A human subject was vaccinated with 2011-12 trivalent Influenza vaccine. 100 mL blood was drawn prior to vaccination and on days 1, 3 and 7 post-vaccination. Our strategy for the fractionation of immune cells from whole blood Hierarchical clustering of proteins using fractionated human blood and strategy 2 allows us to identify immune cell-specific changes after vaccination Immune cell types isolated from venous human blood at >98% purity More cell-type specific proteins are identified with strategy 2 compared to strategy 1 Strategy 1 Strategy 2 Fig. 7: A heat map of z scores for each protein across the different cell-types at days 0, 1, 3, and 7. Both strategies reveal significant differences between the cell-specific proteomes as the immune system responds to the vaccination. Fig.8: Cell-type enrichment analysis of all the proteins identified using strategy 1 (A) and strategy 2 (B). Cell type enrichment analysis of proteins from NK cells using strategy 1 (C) and strategy 2 (D). All analysis was performed using the web-based tool “cell type enrichment for genome studies” a. C D Fig. 2: Cells from 90 mL whole blood were fractionated into peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and polymorphonuclearcell (PMN) fractions using Ficoll gradient centrifugation. Using a combination of magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS), PBMCs were fractionated into T cells, B cells, natural killer cells (NK) and monocytes with >98% purity for each cell type. A similar approach was used to purify neutrophils from PMNs. Figure 5: PBMC (left) and PMN (right) cell fractions from a single representative donor were subjected to MACS enrichment followed by FACS in order to obtain purified T cell (CD3+ CD15-CD19-CD14-), B cell (CD19+ CD15-CD3-CD14-), monocyte (CD14+ CD15-CD3-CD19-), myeloid DC (CD11c+ CD15-CD3-CD19-CD14-CD56-), NK (CD56+ CD15-CD3-CD19-CD14-CD11c-), and neutrophil (CD15+ CD3-) populations for systems analysis. For sorting, cells were stained as in Figure 4 with the addition of 7AAD to exclude non-viable cells.

In strategy 1, multiple immune cell types from one time point were multiplexed together in the experiment. In strategy 2, the same immune cell type from different time points were multiplexed together. An immune cell common standard (ICCS) was used to normalize reporter ion intensities across the experiments. Table D.
