CD4+CD25− cells and CD4+CD25+ cells (hereinafter Tregs) were isolated from the PBMC population with the help of immunomagnetic beads as previously described14 (link). CD4+CD25− cells were further analyzed and purified using CD7 expression. In short, CD4+CD25− cells were treated with anti-CD7 (PE-conjugated) for 30 min followed by incubation with anti-PE antibody-conjugated microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch-Gladbach, Germany) for 15 min (4 °C). Then, the resulting CD4+CD25−CD7+ cells and CD4+CD25−CD7− cells were purified by positive and negative selection, respectively, with MS separation columns (Miltenyi Biotec). CD4+CD25−CD7+ cells were further analyzed and sorted according to their levels of CD43 and CD45 expression (i.e., CD43low, CD43high, CD45low, and CD45high).
Similarly, CD4+CD25+ cells were treated with anti-Gal1 (PE-conjugated) for 30 min followed by incubation with anti-PE antibody-conjugated microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) for 15 min (4 °C). Then, the resulting CD4+CD25+Gal1+ cells and CD4+CD25+Gal1− cells were purified by positive and negative selection, respectively, with MS separation columns (Miltenyi Biotec) and were further analyzed and sorted according to their levels of CD25 expression (i.e., CD25low, CD25med, and CD25high).

CD14+ cells were enriched from freshly isolated PBMC with human CD14 MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) and MS separation columns (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. DC were generated by cultivation of CD14+ cells with 800 IU/ml GM-CSF (PeproTech EC Ltd, London, United Kingdom) and 1000 IU/ml IL-4 (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) for 5 days. After 5 days, DC were incubated with increasing concentrations of abacavir (3, 10, 30 µg/ml) or NiSO4 (250 mM). After 24 h of co-incubation, DC were harvested, and the expression of co-stimulatory molecules (CD80, CD83, CD86 and CD40 (Anti-bodies from BD Biosciences, Basel, Switzerland)) was analyzed by flow cytometry. Furthermore, culture supernatants were analyzed for IL-1β, TNFα and IL-6 cytokine secretion by multiplex analysis (Meso Scal Discovery, Gaithersburg, MD USA).

T cells were purified from mouse spleens and lymph nodes (LN) as described (5 (link), 20 (link)). Briefly, single cell suspensions were incubated with purified anti-CD11b, -CD8, -B220, anti-Gr-1, -CD16/32, -Ter119 (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA) and -I-A/E (eBioscience) mAbs. The cells were then washed and incubated with anti-rat dynabeads (Dynal, Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Bulk CD4+ T cells were then purified by magnetic negative selection of the unwanted cells. For Treg isolation, these bulk CD4+ T cells were incubated with anti-CD25-PE mAb and CD4+CD25+ T cells isolated by positive selection using anti-PE microbeads and MS separation columns (Miltenyi Biotec). Purity was assessed by cytofluorometric analysis and was consistently 90–95%. The remaining cells were used as CD4+CD25 Tconv.

ADRC Subpopulation Enrichment by MACS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Enrichment of CD31 positive and -negative ADRC subpopulations was accomplished by magnetic cell sorting (MACS) using MS separation columns (Miltenyi Biotech) under RNase-free conditions. Initially, the isolated ADRC was subjected to red cell lysis (RBC buffer, Miltenyi Biotech, cat no.130-094-183). Magnetic labelling was performed using a CD31 microbead kit (Miltenyi Biotech) after which cells were sorted on an OctoMACS™ Separator (Miltenyi Biotech). Hereby, CD31+  and CD31− ADRCs were obtained based on a positive or negative selection for the CD31 marker.

Cell samples from each group were isolated from fibrin hydrogels after 48h coculture by dissolution in 1 mg/mL collagenase (Sigma) for 30 min at 37°C and a cell pellet was formed by centrifugation and washed with PBS three times. HUVECs were positively selected for CD31 by magnetic cell sorting (MACS) using MS separation columns (Miltenyi Biotech, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Following instructions provided by the manufacturer, a positive selection for ECs using the CD31 MicroBead Kit (Miltenyi) was performed. PBS was used for the final washing step and elution from the column. The CD31+ population (HUVECs) was used in subsequent assays of endothelial function.

Isolation of Human Blood Monocytes

Source material for all human blood cells was freshly collected buffy
coats provided by the Oklahoma Blood Institute. Blood donors were in good health
and negative for all infections tested for during standard donation. Age and
smoking history were not available on blood donors. PBMC were immediately
isolated by gradient centrifugation using Lymphoprep (STEMCELL TECNHOLOGIES)
according to manufacturer’s instructions. Resulting PBMC were either
resuspended in 1X PBS for subsequent staining and flow cytometry, or in 1X PBS
containing 0.5% BSA and 2 mM EDTA for monocyte enrichment. Positive
selection of monocytes was conducted using anti-CD14 MicroBeads along with MS
Separation Columns (Miltenyi Biotec) following manufacturer’s
instructions.

Primary lymphocytes were isolated from Balb/c mouse spleens and activated by conA and IL-2 in vitro as previously described. Murine CD8α (Ly-2) MicroBeads (Miltenyi, Cat# 130-117-044), a MiniMACS separator (Miltenyi, Cat# 130-042-102), MS separation columns (Miltenyi, Cat# 130-402-201) and MACS MultiStand (Miltenyi, Cat# 130-402-303) were used for CD8+ T-cell purification. MACS was performed according to the Miltenyi MACS protocol; 95 µL MACS buffer was used for resuspension, and 10 µL microbeads were used for magnetic labeling every 1×107 cells at 4°C for 15 min. CD8+ T cells and non-CD8+ T cells were then separated after MACS and counted for transfer. Flow cytometric analysis was used to confirm that the CD8+ T-cell population purity was over 90% (BD, LSRFortessa).

Fresh OPSCC tumors and matched adjacent normal tissue samples were placed on ice following surgical resection in Dulbecco's modified eagle medium (DMEM, USA), supplemented with 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin solution (Hyclone, USA). Subsequently, all samples were gently cut into small pieces on ice and digested using a tumor dissociation kit (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany), following the built-in program 37C_h_TDK_3 for tumor tissues and program 37C_h_TDK_1 for adjacent normal tissues. After disruption, the cells were filterd through a 40 mm filter (BD Biosciences, USA) and washed with 1x Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS, USA). The resulting single-cell suspension was centrifuged at 500G for 5 minutes and resuspended in 4% bovine serum albumin (BSA, USA). Single-cell suspensions were then stained with CD3 MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany) and sorted into immune (CD3+) cells via magnetic separation using MS Separation columns (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany). Cell number and viability were checked after staining with 0.4% trypan blue staining (cell number > 5 × 105 and viability > 80%).

Male C57BL/6 mice, 8–10 weeks old (Charles River Laboratories), were used in all experiments for the generation of monocytes and Mϕ. The animals were culled by CO2 euthanasia immediately before the start of the bone marrow isolation procedure. Mouse bone marrow was harvested as previously described.32 (link) Briefly bone marrow was collected by flushing the hind-limb tibia and femur with DMEM (Gibco) containing 10% FBS (Sigma-Aldrich) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco). Cell suspension was filtered with a 70-μm cell strainer resuspended in 5 mL cold 1× red blood cell lysis buffer (BioLegend) before washing in PBS and performing gradient centrifugation using Histopaque-1077 (Sigma-Aldrich) and at 400 × g without brake for 30 min. The interphase was carefully collected as bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs). For monocyte collection, collected BMMNCs were subjected to magnetic sorting with the Monocyte Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec) and MS Separation Columns (Miltenyi Biotec). For Mϕ production, isolated BMMNCs were plated at a density of 4 × 103 cells/cm2 and cultured for 6 days in complete DMEM containing mouse macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF; 20 ng/mL; PeproTech) to differentiate to Mϕ.32 (link)

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.
