The organ suspension was filtered through a 70 μm cell strainer (BD, NJ, USA), and cells were centrifuged at 700×g for 5 min. Pelleted cells were submitted to Percoll 40/75% gradient (PercollTM, GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden), centrifuged at 1,500×g for 30 min, and mononuclear cells (Percoll 40/75 interphase) were collected and stained for FACS analysis. The list of antibodies used in this work is shown in online supplementary Table 1 (for all online suppl. material, see www.karger.com/doi/10.1159/000527188).
Data were acquired in a FACS Verse flow cytometer (8-color configuration, BD, NJ, USA) and analyzed in the software FlowJo (v.10.7.1 for Mac OS X, BD, NJ, USA). Gates were determined by the fluorescence minus one (FMO) method. Representative gating strategies for the analysis are shown in online supplementary Figure 8.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Akata (+) cells of BL origin, kindly provided by Dr. Hironori Yoshiyama [20 (link)], were cultured in RPMI1640 medium (FUJIFILM Wako Chemicals) containing 10% FCS. The productive lytic replication of Akata (+) cells was induced by treatment with anti-human IgG [21 (link)]. All cells were maintained at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere. Blood was taken (with informed consent in accordance with the Ethical Committee for Epidemiology of Hiroshima University) from EBV-seropositive healthy donors. HLA typing was performed by Wakunaga Pharmaceutical. EBV-LCLs were produced by infecting peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with a culture supernatant of EBV-producing Akata (+) cells in the presence of cyclosporin A (CsA). PBMCs were plated at 5 × 106 cells in a T25 culture flask in an upright position containing 2 mL of RPMI-1640 medium (FUJIFILM Wako Chemicals) supplemented with 10% FCS, 1% Penicillin-streptomycin, 200 ng/mL CsA, and 2 mL of EBV containing supernatant from Akata (+) cells. The obtained LCLs were maintained in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% FCS and 1% Penicillin-streptomycin.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For stromal cell preparation, a whole spleen was transferred into 100 μl of RPMI-1640 medium (Wako Pure Chemical Industries) and was cut and minced using scissors. After adding 900 μl of RPMI and vortexing, the spleen fragments were allowed to sediment for 1 min and the supernatant was transferred to another tube on ice. This process was repeated, collecting the supernatant each time. After collecting the hematopoietic cells, spleen capsules were digested in RPMI-1640 medium containing 4.0 mg/ml collagenase (Wako Pure Chemical Industries) with 0.1 mg/ml DNaseI (Sigma-Aldrich), and incubated for 20 min at 37 °C, with tapping every 10 min. The supernatant was transferred to another tube containing 3 ml of phosphate buffer containing 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 2 mM EDTA and 0.1% sodium azide on ice. This process was repeated twice, collecting the supernatant each time. The residual sediments were homogenized by using a 1 ml syringe fitted with a 27-gauge needle (Terumo). The resultant cell suspension was collected by centrifugation, as previously described23 (link).

Human esophageal squamous cancer cell lines (TE8, TE11 and TE14) were obtained from the RIKEN BioResource Center. A human lung squamous cancer cell line (LK2) was obtained from the Japanese Collection of Research Bioresources (Osaka, Japan).

Establishment of GPC1 stable transfectant LK2 cell lines were described previously [4 (link)], and cell lines were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 250 μg/ml G418 (Life technologies, Carlsbad, CA,USA). These cell lines were cultured at 37°C under a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2. The identity of each cell line was confirmed by DNA fingerprinting via short tandem repeat profiling, as previously described [25 (link)].

At the age of 1 month, buffy coat was collected from blood samples. NH4Cl lysis solution was used to remove red blood cells. The remaining cells were rinsed with PBS, and RPMI 1640 medium (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Co.) with 10% fetal calf serum (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and antibiotics (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Co.) was used to suspend the cells (4.0 × 106 cells/mL). The specific conditions (37 °C for 1 h in a 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere) were adjusted to incubate the mixture of cells with 2.5% suspension of latex beads suspension labeled with FITC (1 µm diameter, L1030, Sigma-Aldrich). Ice-cold 1 mM EDTA-PBS was used to remove cell-free beads from the mixture. The remaining cells were incubated with F647-labeled anti–MHC class II (TH14B) mAbs at 200-fold dilution, and F555-labeled anti-granulocyte (CH138A, Monoclonal Antibody Center at Washington State University) mAbs at 100-fold dilution (Table S2), followed by analysis on a FACS CantoTM II system. The percentage of FITC+ TH14B+ cells relative to all TH14B+ cells and the percentage of FITC+ CH138A+ cells relative to all CH138A+ cells were used to determine the phagocytic index.

Cardiomyocyte differentiation was performed using an established protocol14 (link). To maintain pluripotency, hiPSCs were cultured in dishes coated with 5 μg/cm2 fibronectin (F1141-5MG, Sigma-Aldrich) using ESF9a medium in the pre-culture stage. Cells were plated at 5 × 103 cells/cm2 one day before induction. Cardiomyocyte differentiation was co-induced by a 24-h treatment with 3 µM CHIR99021 (CHIR, 034-23103, R&D Systems) and 10 ng/mL activin A in F7 medium with insulin. Wnt/β-catenin signaling was inhibited at 1–3 days, 2–4 days, or 3–5 days after the induction of differentiation by replacing the medium with RPMI-1640 medium (189-02025, Wako) containing 2% B27 supplement lacking insulin (A18956-01, Thermo Scientific) and 5 or 10 μM IWP2 (3533, Wako, 3533/10, Nacalai tesque) to inhibit Wnt/β-catenin. The culture medium was changed every other day until day 14, and 200 μg/mL insulin was added to the medium from day 7 of the culture.

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.
