The aCSF used for dissections and recordings contained (in mM) 127 NaCl, 26 NaHCO3, 10 glucose, 3 KCl (unless otherwise stated), 2 CaCl, 1.25 NaH2PO4, and 1 MgCl2. TFLLR, theophylline, MSO, FA and glutamine were supplied by Sigma-Aldrich (Poole, UK); DPCPX and SCH58261 were supplied by Abcam (Cambridge, UK); ARL67156 was supplied by Tocris Bioscience (Bristol, UK). All drugs were dissolved in reverse-osmosis water, except picrotoxin, DPCPX and SCH58261, which were dissolved in DMSO. The concentration of DMSO in working solutions did not exceed 0.1% (v/v).

Assessing Spontaneous Locomotor Activity

To evaluate the spontaneous locomotor activity, we performed the open field test. In brief, the mice were placed in the center of an activity field arena (30 × 30 cm, surrounded by four 50 cm high black painted walls) equipped with a camera above to record activity. Mice were administered (ip) with vehicle or SCH58261 (3.75 mg/kg; Abcam Biochemicals, Cambridge, UK) 15 min before measuring the exploratory behavior of the animals during a 10-min period. The total distance travelled and the activity within the outer and inner zone of the open field was analyzed using Spot tracker function from Image J (NIH). All behavioral tests were carried out in a sound attenuated room with 15 lux illumination. The apparatus and the objects were cleaned with a 70% alcohol solution and rinsed with water after each session.

HeLa cells were labeled with PKH26 dye, to distinguish the target cells from T cells. 3 × 104 labeled HeLa cells were co-incubated at 1:1, 1:5, 1:10, and 1:20 ratios with CAR T, Un-T, and Mock T cells for 18 h. Also, 1 μM of the A2aR antagonist SCH58261(Abcam, Cambridge, MA) in the presence and absence of 1 μM 5′-(N-ethylcarboxamido) adenosine (NECA- Adenosine receptor agonist) (Abcam). After 18 h of co-incubation, cells were stained with 7-AAD (Miltenyi Biotec) as a viability dye to exclude dead cells and analyzed by flow cytometry. PKH26 positive /7AAD positive population demonstrated dead tumor cells. To calculate the percentage of dead tumor cells, the percentage of spontaneous lysis of target cells which were incubated in the absence of effector cells, were subtracted from the percentage of target cells that were incubated with effector cells. FlowJo (v7.6.1) software was used for data analysis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
