Approximately 1 × 106 cells/mL were harvested and washed with Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) supplemented with 0.1% BSA. Cells were then resuspended with 0.1% BSA/HBSS containing PE-Cy5.5 coupled anti-Thy1.1 antibodies (clone HIS51, eBiosciences), or isotype control and incubated for 30 min at 4 °C. The cells were washed again by resuspending with 0.1% BSA/HBSS before being analyzed with an Accuri C6 benchtop flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) as previously described [58 (link)]. Appropriate filter sets were used to detect GFP fluorescence or PE-Cy5.5 fluorescence.

To test the effect of specific peptides, T2 cells were incubated in serum-free RPMI media overnight at 26°C in the presence of 100μM synthetic peptide (Genscript). Cells were washed and stained with the HLA-C specific DT9 antibody (EMD Millipore). Peptide stabilization was assessed by flow cytometry on an Accuri C6 benchtop flow cytometer (BD Biosciences).
Natural killer cells were isolated from five healthy KIR A haplotype and HLA-C1 homozygous donors and stimulated overnight with 500 units/ml recombinant human IL-2 (R&D Systems) in RPMI 10% complete media. T2 cells (3 × 104) were incubated with 100μM peptide (Genscript) overnight in serum-free media at 26°C, washed, and re-suspended in serum-free media with anti-CD107a-TexasRed antibody (eBioscience). T2 cells were incubated with NK cells at a target: effector ratio of 10:1 for 3.5 hours in serum-free media with 500 units/ml recombinant human IL-2. Surface staining was performed using anti-KIR2DL2/3-APC GL183 (Beckman Coulter) and anti-KIR3DL1-FITC DX9 (Biolegend) to identify KIR2DL3+/KIR3DL1- NK cells. Following surface-staining, cells were treated with live/dead orange (Life Sciences) and fixed (Cytofix, BD Biosciences). Cells were analyzed on an LSR II cytometer (BD Biosciences) at the Stanford Flow Cytometry Core Facility. A representative gating strategy is shown in Figure S5B.

Expression of various molecules described in the text was analyzed via flow cytometry as previously described [16 (link)]. T cells from activation assays were collected on an LSR II BD Biosciences flow cytometer, (Franklin Lakes, NJ). Cells from migration and expression assays were collected on an Accuri C6 benchtop flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). All Abs were specific for mouse molecules. Abs to CD80 (clone 1G10), CD86 (clone GL1), MHC class I (clone AF6-88.5.5.3), and MHC class II (clone M5/114) were purchased from Ebioscience (San Diego, CA). Abs specific for Integrin β2, l-Selectin, CXCR4, CCR7, and CXCR5 were obtained from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN). Abs specific for CD8a (clone 53-6.7), CD4 (clone GK1.5), CD49d (clone 9F10), CD11a (M17/4), CD90.2 (clone 30-H12), CD25 APC (clone PC61.5), and CD44 (clone BJ18) were purchased from Biolegend (San Diego, CA). Anti-CD45 (clone 30-F11), CD19 (clone 1D3), and anti-CD69 (clone FN50) mAbs were purchased from Ebioscience. Data were analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star, Ashland, OR).

To test the effect of specific peptides, T2 cells were incubated in serum-free RPMI media overnight at 26°C in the presence of 100 μM synthetic peptide (GenScript). Cells were washed and stained with the HLA-C-specific DT9 antibody (EMD Millipore). Peptide stabilization was assessed by flow cytometry on an Accuri C6 benchtop flow cytometer (BD Biosciences).
NK cells were isolated from five healthy KIR A haplotype and HLA-C1 homozygous donors, and they were stimulated overnight with 500 units/mL recombinant human IL-2 (R&D Systems) in RPMI 10% complete media.

For flow cytometry, cells were collected by centrifugation and washed with Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) containing 0.1% BSA, before being resuspended in 0.1% BSA/HBSS containing isotype control, or PE-Cy5.5 coupled anti-Thy1.1 antibodies (clone HIS51, eBiosciences), or allophycocyanin-coupled coupled 25-D1.16 antibodies (Invitrogen) and incubated for 30 minutes at 4°C. After incubation, cells were washed and resuspended in 0.1% BSA/HBSS before being analyzed with an Accuri C6 benchtop flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). Appropriate filter sets were used to detect APC fluorescence or PE-Cy5.5 fluorescence. All analysis, including determining the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) for the sample, was conducted using BD Accuri software.

NF-κB Activation Dynamics in C57E Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C57E cells isolated from WT C57bl/6 aorta endothelium and immortalized with a py-MT lentiviral plasmid were used. Cells contain an NF-κB binding sequence upstream of a GFP reporter gene in their genome. The cells containing this construct constitutively express red fluorescent protein and only express GFP when NF-κB is released from its receptor protein [inhibitor of NF-κB (IκB-α)]. Cells were seeded in a 24-well plate at a density of 40,000 cells per well with 500 μl of media per well. Twenty-four hours later, PIP3 was added at a dose of 0, 10, or 20 μM. The positive control received 100 ng of LPS. Eight and 12 hours later, cells were analyzed via flow cytometry using a BD Accuri C6 Benchtop Flow Cytometer (fig. S1, H to J).

Validation of Cell Viability via Flow Cytometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Flow cytometry was used to validate the viability results. Cells were cultured in T25 cell culture flasks following the aforementioned protocol. Control cells (N = 3) and cells stored in the optimal additive combination (1% sericin, 5 mmol/L adenosine, 50 μg/mL L-ascorbic acid and 1 mM allopurinol) (N = 3) for three days were compared. Propidium iodide (PI), which binds to double-stranded DNA of dead cells, was added to the culture medium of both culture groups at a concentration of 2.5 μg/300 μL sample and cells were returned to the incubator for 15 minutes. Cells were then rinsed with PBS, trypsinized for 2–3 minutes, then washed and re-suspended in ice-cold HBSS +4% FBS. Samples were kept on ice and analyzed using the BD Accuri C6 bench top flow cytometer. PI is excited by the 588 nm laser and is detected in filter 616//23 (FL3).

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.
