Example 2

To examine safety of the treatment and effect on T-cell activation, Jlat10.6 cells were treated with different benzodiazepines with and without SAHA. Forty-eight hours after incubation, cells were harvested and stained with red live/dead staining according to the manufacturer protocol (LIVE/DEAD® Fixable Red Dead Cell Stain Kit, ThermoFisher Scientific) (FIG. 2A). Trichostatin A, used as a positive control induced toxicity (68% viable). 0.5 μM SAHA caused a slight reduction in viability as compared to DMSO control (97% to 94.6%). No significant loss of viability was observed with benzodiazepine treatments.

In order to investigate whether alprazolam was specifically activating HIV-1 or having a general effect on T cell activation (CD4 and CD8), primary peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from two healthy donors were treated with 10 μM Alprazolam or 50 μM Ro5-3335, both alone or in combination with 0.5 μM SAHA. Twenty-four hours after treatment, cells were stained using Zombie yellow live and dead staining, then stained for CD3, CD8, CD4, CD69, and then fixed for analysis by flow cytometry. AntiCD3/CD28 and PHA were included as a positive control (FIG. 2B). Treatment of Alprazolam in combination with SAHA did not induce any significant T cell activation.

To obtain single-cell transcriptional portraits of 22q11.21-amplified and non-amplified tumors, we analyzed a primary acral melanoma specimen (YUJASMIN) with six focal copies of 22q11.21, as determined by WES, and three primary acral melanomas without amplification of 22q11.21 (YUGRUS, YUMASK, YUPARK; Supplementary Data 1). For YUJASMIN, the 10x Chromium 5′ expression profiling platform with V1 chemistry was applied to a cryopreserved tumor cell suspension sorted for viable singlets to target 10,000 cells (Supplementary Fig. 10). Cells were sorted in the following ratios prior to library preparation: 50% CD3+CD45+ T cells: 25% CD3CD45+ non-T immune cells: 25% CD45 stromal/cancer cells. Cell viability was assessed by the LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Red Dead Cell Stain Kit (catalog no. L34971, Thermo Fisher). The following antibodies were used: Alexa Fluor® 488 anti-human CD45 antibody (clone H130, catalog no. 304019, BioLegend); APC anti-human CD3 antibody (clone HIT3a, catalog no. 300319, BioLegend) (Supplementary Data 9). The 10x library was sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument. For the other three tumors, the 10x Chromium 5′ assay with V2 chemistry was applied to cryopreserved tumor cell suspensions and sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 instrument.

Multiparametric Flow Cytometry of Blood, Spleen, and Tumor

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole blood, spleen, and tumor tissues were processed for flow cytometry analysis. In brief, gentleMACS Octo Dissociator from Miltenyi Biotec was used for spleen and tumor-tissue dissociation, followed by filtering through 100 µm screens. After tissue dissociation, the cells were washed with PBS and incubated with the antibody panel for 15–20 min at room temperature. The red blood cells were lysed by Pharm Lyse (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) for 8–12 min following antibody staining at room temperature. Live or dead cells were detected by LIVE/DEAD Fixable Red Dead Cell Stain Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Samples were centrifuged and washed with PBS before suspension in PBS for data acquisition on BD FACSCanto II using FACSDiva software (BD Biosciences).
Fluorochrome–conjugated mAb to the following human antigens were used: CD45-V510 (clone HI30), CD45-phycoerythrin (PE; clone HI30), CD3-FITC (clone UCHT1), CD4-PE-cyanine 7 (clone SK3), CD8-allophycocyanin-cyanine 7 (clone SK1), CD19-allophycocyanin (clone HIB19), PD-1-PE (clone EH12.2H7), and PD-L1-V421 (clone 29E.2A3). All antibodies were purchased from BioLegend.

SN-MM cells were detached using the Tryple Express Enzyme (cat.n. 12604013, Thermo Fisher Scientific), washed in 1 mL cold DPBS w/o proteins and stained using Live/Dead Fixable Red Dead Cell Stain Kit (cat. n. L23102, Life Technologies) and anti-CD271 (clone REA844) PE-conjugated antibody (cat.n. 130-112-601, Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) following manufacturer’s instructions. Unstained cells were used as negative controls. Results were reported as the percentage of positive cells after gating on single live cells. Samples were acquired with MACS Quant® Analyzer 16 (Miltenyi Biotec) and results were analyzed by FlowJo X software v10.8 (Tree Star Inc, Wilmington, NC, USA).

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.
