Lymphocyte separation solution

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Lymphocyte separation solution is a sterile, isotonic, and density-gradient medium used for the isolation and purification of lymphocytes from whole blood or other cell suspensions. It facilitates the separation of mononuclear cells, including lymphocytes, from other blood components such as erythrocytes and granulocytes.

PBMNC Isolation and Culture Protocol

Fifteen milliliters (ml) of peripheral blood were collected by venous puncture of superficial vein at forearm. PBMNCs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation using Lymphocyte Separation Solution (Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, St. Louis, MO, USA). PBMNCs at a concentration at 2 × 106 cells/2 ml were cultured either in QQ culture media [11 (link)] or in standard culture media [11 (link)] The cells were cultured in a 6-well Primaria dish (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) for 7 days [11 (link), 13 (link)].

RPPA Technique for Protein Analysis

The methodology and validation of the RPPA technique have been described elsewhere. [17 (link)–21 (link)] Briefly, fresh samples were obtained from patients at local sites and were shipped to the central processing lab at Baylor College of Medicine by overnight courier. Mononuclear cells were isolated from peripheral blood by centrifugation using lymphocyte separation solution (Sigma) and enriched for leukemic cells by CD3/CD19 depletion (Miltenyi Biotech, Cologne, Germany). Protein preparations were normalized to a concentration of 1×107 cells/mL and printed in five serial dilutions onto slides along with normalization and expression controls. Slides were probed with 301 antibodies listed in Supplementary Table 1, including a primary validated antibody against total RelA (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, Cat. #3034) and RelA-pSer536 (Cell Signaling, Cat. #3033). Five antibodies were excluded for different reasons yielding a final of 296 antibodies used for analysis. [11 ] Stained slides were analyzed using Microvigene® Software (version 3.0, Vigene Tech, Carlisle, MA). SuperCurve algorithms were used to generate a single concentration value from the five serial dilutions. [22 (link)] Loading control [23 (link)] and topographical normalization [24 ] procedures were performed to account for protein concentration and background antibody staining variations on each array.

Isolation and Characterization of Monocytes

Venous blood was diluted with Hanks’ solution and slowly added to the tube containing 2 mL lymphocyte separation solution (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, United States) along the tube wall, with the interface kept clear. The sample was then centrifuged at 671 g for 20 min at room temperature. The upper layer of light yellow plasma was carefully discarded, the white layer (monocytes) was carefully aspirated, and 2 mL Hanks’ solution was added, and the sample was mixed and then centrifuged at 377 g for 10 min at room temperature. The supernatant was discarded, and 1 mL Hanks’ solution was added and resuspended, and the sample was temporarily stored at 4 °C. After the joint cavity effusion fluid was centrifuged, the supernatant was aspirated and stored at -80 °C for ELISA. The pellet was added to 1 mL Hanks’ solution and resuspended, and macrophages were analyzed as described above.

Spleens of recipient rats were collected, grounded, and filtered to obtain cell suspension, which was centrifuged at 1600 rpm at 4°C for 5 mins. The precipitation was resuspended by pre-cooled phosphate buffer solution. Double volume of lymphocyte separation solution purchased from Sigma-Aldrich was added and centrifuged at 2000 RPM for 25 min to obtain cell suspension. CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells were isolated by LS column (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany, #130-042-401) with the method of antibiotic microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany, # 130-090-319, # 130-090-318) as previously described (37 (link), 38 (link)). Sorted cells were incubated directly with diluted fluorochrome-conjugated monoclonal antibodies as shown below: anti-CD4 (Invitrogen, #11-0040-82, FITC), anti-CD8a (Invitrogen, #11-0084-82, FITC), anti-PD-1 (Proteintech, #65211, Coralite647) and anti-Foxp3 (eBioscience, #12-5773-82, PE).

Blood samples (~200 µl) were obtained via the tail vein at 6, 12 and 18 h after ConA-induced AIH. At 24 h, the mice were sacrificed via cervical dislocation and ~1 ml blood samples were harvested. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated using Lymphocyte Separation Solution (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck Millipore) and stored at −80°C.

Isolation and Cultivation of Bone Marrow-Derived Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two millilitres of fresh bone marrow was collected from healthy volunteers who signed the written informed consent (following the Declaration of Helsinki). Immediately after collection, samples were diluted with 2 ml phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS). The mixture was then placed on the fluid level of lymphocyte separation solution (2 ml, Sigma) and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 30 min. The liquid was divided into four layers. The second layer (white transparent layer) was aspirated, placed in a cell culture bottle with low‐glucose DMEM medium (Gibco) containing 10% foetal bovine serum (Gibco) and 1% Penicillin‐Streptomycin (Gibco) and cultured in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2. After 3 days, 4 ml of low‐sugar complete medium was added. Cells were passaged after reaching 80%–90% confluence; the medium was changed every 5 days. After two to three passages, cells were incubated in serum‐free low‐sugar DMEM for 24–48 h (depending on cell density). Consequently, the medium without cells was centrifuged at 3000 rcf for 20 min, and the supernatant was carefully aspirated into a centrifuge tube and frozen at −80°C.

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.
