For surface staining, cells were stained in PBS/0.1% BSA/5 mM EDTA buffer with a fixable viability dye and a combination of the following antibodies: CD45 (30-F11), CD11c (N418), MHCII (M5/114.15.2), F4/80 (BM8), TCRβ (H57-597), all eBioscience; CD103 (M290), CD11b (M1/70), Siglec-F (E50-2440), all BD Biosciences; Ly6G (1A8), Ly6C (HK1.4), CD64 (X54-5/7.1), CD4 (RM4-5), CD24 (M1/69), CD206 (C068C2), all BioLegend. Fc block (anti-CD16/CD32, eBioscience) was included to minimize non-specific antibody binding. For intracellular cytokine staining of T cells, cells were incubated for 3.5 h in complete IMDM medium containing 0.1 μM PMA, 1 μM ionomycin with 1/1000 GolgiPlug and GolgiStop solutions (BD Biosciences), at 37°C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. Following surface staining, cells were fixed and permeabilised with the Cytofix/Cytoperm Fixation/Permeabilisation Solution Kit (BD Biosciences) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were stained for 50 minutes with antibodies to IL-17A (17B7, eBioscience) and IFNγ (XMG1.2, eBioscience. All cells were analysed on a SORP LSRII (BD Biosciences) or sorted on a FACSAriaIII (BD Biosciences) to a purity of >95%. Analysis was performed using FlowJo software (Tree Star, Inc).

CD8+ T-cell Cytotoxicity Assay

A CD8+ T‐cell isolation kit (Miltenyl Biotec) was used to separate splenic CD8+ T cells from the newly isolated spleen of 8‐week‐old male Balb/c mice. CD8+ T cells were stimulated for 3 days in RPMI 1640 medium (containing 50 μM β‐mercaptoethanol, antibiotics and 10% FBS) with anti‐CD3 and anti‐CD28 Abs. CT26‐EV and CT26‐SA14 cells (1 × 104 cells/well) were plated in 96‐well plates and incubated for 1 day. After incubation, the cells were cocultured with activated T cells at 2:1 ratio for 12 h (T cells:tumour cells). Before harvest, cells were cultured for 6 h in the presence of brefeldin A (5 μg/ml, BioLegend). Following coculture with cancer cells, collected T lymphocytes were fixed and permeabilised according to the manufacturer's instructions using the Cytofix/Cytoperm fixation/permeabilisation solution kit (BD Bioscience). Thereafter, the cells were stained for 30 min on ice with a FACS buffer‐diluted PE‐conjugated anti‐IFN‐γ Ab (BioLegend) (1:100 ratio). Next, the cells were washed twice with FACS buffer and flow cytometrically examined using a FACSCalibur flow cytometer. The IFN‐γ+CD8+ T‐cell level was calculated using the FlowJo program.

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.
