Tumor Immune Cell Phenotyping

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The tumor tissues were ground and filtered to obtain cell suspensions. The cells were collected by centrifugation at 1000 RPM for 5 min and washed with PBS three times, and the supernatant was removed by centrifugation. Then cells were fixed via a cell fixation solution for 30 min and permeabilized by 1% Triton-100 at 37 °C for 10 min, followed by antibody incubation (CD3-PE: 0.25 μg/Test; CD4-FITC: 0.25 μg/Test; CD8a-FITC: 1 μg/Test; CD25-Cy7: 0.25 μg/Test; Foxp3-APC: 1 μg/Test, BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) at 37 °C in the dark for 30 min. The cell phenotypes were detected by flow cytometry after 500 μL PBS was added.

In order to examine activation status of the cells, BMDCs were treated with Duolac ATP or LPS for 24 h at 37°C. The cells were stained with anti-mouse CD86-FITC, PD-L1-PE, MHC II-PE-cy7, CD11c-APC (all from BD Biosciences) for 20 min at 4°C in the dark. To test the increase of Treg, CTV labeled CD4+ T cells cultured with Duolac-treated BMDCs for 3 days were stained with anti-mouse CD4-PE (BD Biosciences). After surface staining, CD4+ T cells were fixed and stained with anti-mouse Foxp3-APC mAb (BioLegend, Dedham, MA, United States) using FOXP3 Fix/Perm Buffer Set (BioLegend). In vivo examination, single cells from mLNs and PP were isolated from AD mice. Population changes of DCs and Tregs were examined as aforementioned. To analyze for subpopulation of Th cells, total mLN and PP cells were stimulated with PMA and ionomycin (Sigma-Aldrich) in the presence of brefeldin A for 4 h. After the stimulation, the cells were stained with appropriate combination of anti-mouse CD11c-APC, CD4-bv605, Foxp3-APC, IFN-gamma-PE, IL-4-bv605, and IL-17-APC-cy7 mAb (all from Biolegend). The cells were washed and the expression was examined using a FACSCanto II (BD Biosciences). All flow cytometric data acquired were analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star, Ashland, OR, United States).

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.
