For Western blotting, rabbit polyclonal anti-VAMP8 (V7389; Sigma-Aldrich), anti-phospho-p42/44 MAPK (Erk1/2, Thr202/Tyr204; 9101; Cell Signaling Technology), and anti-GAPDH (Cell Signaling Technology) antibodies were used. Secondary antibodies were HRP-conjugated donkey anti–rabbit (Invitrogen). For confocal microscopy, mouse monoclonal anti-perforin (δG9; BioLegend) and anti–granzyme B (GB11; BioLegend) as well as rabbit polyclonal anti-VAMP8 (W. Hong) antibodies were used. The VAMP8 antibody was generated using residues 1–75 of VAMP8, expressed as a fusion protein to GST (GST-endobrevin) and used to raise polyclonal antibodies against endobrevin. For TIRF microscopy and flow cytometric assays, mouse anti–human monoclonal anti-CD3 (BB11; Euroclone), mouse anti–human CD28 (CD28.2; BD), and mouse anti–human isotype IgG1 (MOPC-21; BD) antibodies were used for coating coverslips and stimulating cells. For flow cytometry stainings, fluorochrome-conjugated mouse anti–human monoclonal antibodies were used as follows: anti-CD3 (S4.1; Invitrogen), anti-CD4 (S3.5; Invitrogen), anti-CD8 (3B5; Invitrogen), anti-CD107a (H4A3; BD), and anti-FLAG (M2; GenScript).

Cells were acquired on an eight-colour FACSCanto II (BD Biosciences, Oxford, UK) and analysed with FlowJo (TreeStar, Ashland, OR, USA). Single cells of interest were gated based on their appearance in side and forward scatter area/height, exclusion of live/dead staining (fixable Aqua; Invitrogen) and surface staining. The following monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were used for surface labelling: anti-CD3 (UCHT1), CD8 (HIT8a and SK1), CD16 (3G8), CD24 (ML5), CD44 (G44-26), GD2 (14.G2a) from BD Biosciences; anti-TCR-Vγ9 (Immu360) from Beckman Coulter, High Wycombe, UK; and anti-HLA-ABC (w6/32) from Biolegend, London, UK; together with appropriate isotype controls. Intracellular cytokines were detected using anti-IFN-γ mAbs (B27, BD Biosciences). Surface mobilisation of CD107a was detected by adding anti-CD107a (H4A3; BD Biosciences) mAbs and GolgiStop (BD Biosciences) to cultures for 5 h prior to flow cytometric analysis.

PBMCs were thawed and rested overnight in RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. The PBMCs were co-cultured with K562 cells or anti-CD16-coated P815 cells for 12 h at an effector to target ratio of 10:1 in the presence of anti-CD107a (H4A3, BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). Brefeldin A and monensin were added 1 h after co-incubation. For the anti-CD16 coating, P815 cells were incubated at 37°C with 10 μg/mL anti-CD16 antibody for 30 min. Cytokine production was detected by intracellular staining using antibodies to IFN-γ (B27) and TNF-α (Mab11) (all from BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA).

After stimulation of approximately 1.5×106 PBMCs with A∗02/S269 (YLQPRTFLL) or A∗03/S378 (KCYGVSPTK) peptides (5 μM) and an anti-CD28 monoclonal antibody (0.5 μg ml-1, BD), the cells were expanded for 14 days in complete RPMI culture medium containing recombinant IL-2 (20 IU ml−1, StemCell Technologies). Intracellular cytokine production and degranulation was assessed with spike-derived peptides (15 μM) in the presence of anti-CD107a (H4A3, 1:100, BD Bioscience) for 1 h at 37 °C. Brefeldin A (GolgiPlug, 0.5 μl ml-1) and monensin (GolgiStop, 0.5 μl ml-1) (both BD Biosciences) were then added for an additional 4 h, followed by surface and intracellular staining.

The HLA class I human target line for NK cells, K562, was grown from mycoplasma-negative stocks and maintained in RPMI containing 10% FBS. NK cells harvested from mice were stimulated using K562 cells (3:1 ratio of PBMC:K562) for 5h in the presence of anti-CD107a (H4A3, BD Biosciences). For measurement of IFN-γ production, 20 ng/mL BFA and 0.03% monensin were added during the final 3.5h of culture to inhibit protein export by NK cells. Non-specific antibody binding was blocked by addition of 1μg/mL total mouse IgG (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Viable human NK cells were identified by excluding mouse CD45+ cells and dead cells, and gating for human CD56+ cells (live/dead fixable dye, ThermoFisher Scientific, Grand Island, NY). Representative staining and gating are shown in Supplemental Figure 4. All antibodies, clones and sources used to identify NK cell subsets are shown in Supplemental Table 2.

The Peptivators CMV IE1 and pp65 (Milteniy Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Allemagne) were used to stimulate 6 h T cell degranulation following manufacture’s recommandations. Enriched KIR2DL3+ HLA-A2-pp65 specific T lymphocytes were pre-incubated with anti-CD107a (H4A3, BD Biosciences). T-cell degranulation was assessed after incubation for 5 h alone (negative control), or with different target cells (E:T ratio = 10:1) with brefeldin A (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint-Louis, MO, USA) at 10 μg/ml for the last 4 h. Cell surface staining was performed using the anti-human KIR 1F12 and GL183 mAbs and HLA-2-pp65 specific pentamer. To evaluate apoptosis in T lymphocytes, cells were incubated 3 h at 37 °C with target cells using a ratio 10:1 (E:T) before the staining with 7-AAD and Annexin-V (BD Biosciences). All flow cytometry data were collected using a FACSCalibur (BD Biosciences) and analyzed with Flowjo™ 10.2 software (LLC, Ashland, OR, USA).

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.
