Figure Lengend Snippet: Gating strategy for analysis of Slan-DC and monocyte subpopulations. Gating was sequentially done on FVD− (live cells) and CD138− after excluding fragments and doublets. Next, CD45+ HLA-DR+ cells were selected, and Slan-DCs were identified as M-DC8+ (a). Monocyte subtypes were discriminated according to the expression of CD16 and CD14 in HLA-DR+ MDC8- cells. Non-classical monocytes are CD16+ CD14− (b), intermediate monocytes CD16+ CD14+ (c) and classical monocytes CD16− CD14+ (d).

BM or blood Slan-DCs were cultured in the absence or presence of the TLR7/8 ligand R848 for 24 h and compared in terms of cytokine secretion by flow cytometry. For IL-12p40 secretion, a 6 h pre-incubation was performed. a. A representative experiment is shown. b,d,e. Slan-DCs isolated from BM were stimulated or not with R848 and the production of IL12p40 (b), TNF-α (d) and IL-6 (e) were analyzed by intracellular staining and flow cytometry. c. Slan-DCs isolated from PB were stimulated or not with R848 and the secretion of IL-12p40 was analyzed by intracellular staining and flow cytometry.

Then the cytokine secretion of Slan-DCs was analyzed by flow cytometry after intracellular staining. For IL-12p40 detection, a 6 h pre-incubation was performed. g. Sorted Slan-DCs were cultured for 48 h in the absence or presence of R848 or R848 and IFN-γ and the indicated MM cell line, and then analyzed for IL-12p70 secretion in the culture supernatant by ELISA or by flow cytometry after intracellular staining. h. Sorted Slan-DCs were cultured for 48 h in the presence of R848 and sorted CD138+ cells from 4 different MM patients at diagnosis for 24 h and then analysed for IL-12 secretion in the culture supernatant by ELISA. p values < 0.05 are represented by *, p values < 0.01 by ** and p values < 0.001 by ***.
