Rvical dislocation. Animal housing, care and sacrifices for this 1379592 study strictly followed the rules of the Animal Experiment Ethics Committee of the Universite ?Joseph Fourier of Grenoble (Permit Number: B38 516 10 006). After the removal of the spleen, cells were separated on a grid mesh and suspended in RPMI medium. After centrifugation for 5 min at 300 g, the cell suspension was incubated for 5 min in the presence of a lysis buffer (8.3 g L21 NH4Cl, 0.8 g L21 NaHCO3, 0.04 g L21 EDTA) in order to eliminate the red blood cells. After washing in PBS, B and T lymphocytes were centrifuged again (5 min, 300 g) and seeded at 106 cells/mL in RPMI containing Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS, 10 ), penicillin (50 U mL21) and streptomycin (50 mg mL21). The cultures were incubated at 37uC 23977191 in a humidified (95 ) incubator with 5 CO2 for 24 h in the presence of a stimulation factor (2 mg mL21 Concanavalin A). Subsequently, the splenocytes were centrifuged (300 g, 5 min) and dispersed in PBS at 107 cells/mL. The cellular Arg8-vasopressin biological activity sample was then incubated with R-Phycoerythrin-conjugated anti-CD3e IgG (15 min, 4uC, in dark) for specific immunostaining of T lymphocytes. At last, the cells were washed twice with PBS and re-suspended in PBS at 107 cells/mL before use. 10 mL of splenocyte suspension was added from the top of the pyramidal opening of the functionalized micropores. Cell translocation and capture dynamics in the micropore was monitored in real time with an Madrasin site inverted transmission microscope (DMI 4000 B from Leica) equipped with a CCD camera (Pike F145B from Allied Vision Technologies, Stadtroda, Germany). Fluorescence microscopy of lymphocytes trapped in the micropores was performed using the epifluorescence microscope BX60 (Olympus) with the chilled CCD camera C5985 (Hamamatsu).This file contains: Table S1 Sequences of the probes and ODN conjugates used in this study. AntiCD19 and anti-CD90 are specific to B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes, respectively. Figure S1 Characterization of PPy-ODN-functionalized micropores with fluorescence microscopy. A. Schematic illustration of SAPE coupling on PPy-ODN-functionalized micropore. B. Comparison of the transmission and fluorescence images of a micropore. Figure S2 Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) analysis of the primary splenocyte sample. The T lymphocytes were labeled by fluorescent R-phycoerythrin conjugated with antiCD3e and the B lymphocytes were labeled by fluorescent phycoerythrin-Cy7. About 29 and 67 of the cell population are T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes, respectively. Figure S3 Experimental set-up for cell capture and observation with an inverted transmission microscope. The chip in PBS buffer was placed on a 1mm-thick plastic support to ensure that non-specific cells could travel across the micropore.

The micropore is functionalized with anti-CD90 IgG specifically targeting T lymphocytes. During their passage along the pore wall, some cells are trapped inside the micropore as a result of specific interactions with antibodies.
