Lsrii flow cytometer

Manufactured by FlowJo
Sourced in United States

The LSRII flow cytometer is a high-performance analytical instrument used for the detection, identification, and quantification of cells, particles, and molecules in a sample. It utilizes the principles of flow cytometry to provide researchers with a powerful tool for multi-parameter analysis of complex samples. The LSRII is capable of simultaneously detecting multiple fluorescent and scatter signals from individual particles or cells, enabling the characterization of various cellular properties and functionalities.

Comprehensive T-cell Immune Monitoring

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In vitro cultured PBMCs and TILs were incubated with 1 µg/mL of co-stimulatory antibodies αCD28/αCD49d (eBioscience) followed by stimulation in 96-well plates with complete medium, SEB (1 µg/mL) or total 5T4 peptide pool (5 µg/mL). Following a 2-hour incubation, brefeldin A and monensin (BD Bioscience) were added and cells were incubated overnight at 37°C. PBMCs were stained with surface antibodies, fixed/permeabilized and incubated with intracellular antibodies (online supplementary table S1). Dead cells were discriminated by live/dead fixable staining (Life Technologies). Samples were acquired on an LSRII flow cytometer and analyzed with FlowJo software.
Patients were deemed to be “responders” when the percentages of IFN-γ+ΤΝF-α+CD4+and CD8+ T cells after stimulation were higher than 0.02 and were at least 2-fold the background on analysis in at least one time point post-vaccination. In addition, for cultured PBMCs the delta values (5T4 value–background value) had to be ≥2-fold the corresponding pre-vaccination baseline delta value.

Cell uptake was monitored by using MDA-MB-231 cells, a generous gift from Dr. Schiemann, Case Western Reserve University, and sulfo-Cy5 fluorescently labeled TMV and flow cytometry methods were as previously described.11 Data were recorded with a BD LSRII flow cytometer and analyzed using FlowJo 8.63 software. The intracellular distribution of phenanthriplatin and PhenPt-TMV was determined following a 24 h incubation with A2780 cells. Cell components were separated by using a commercially available kit (Thermo Scientific NE-PER Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Extraction Kit) and atomic absorption spectroscopy as previously described. Efficacy was analyzed by using the MTT assay (ATCC) and a panel of human cancer cell lines: A2780 (ovarian cancer), A2780/CP70 (ovarian cancer resistant to cisplatin), OV81.2 (ovarian cancer, primary patient cells; cells were a generous gift from Dr. DiFeo, Case Western Reserve University), 8988T (pancreatic 375 cancer) cells were a generous gift from Dr. Ghoroghchian, MIT. LNCAP (prostate cancer), MCF-7 (breast cancer), MDA-MB231 (breast cancer) cells were obtained from ATCC unless indicated otherwise. The assay was performed as per manufacturer’s recommendation; a BioTek Synergy HT multidetection microplate reader was used for read-out.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At each time point, mice were placed in a “hot box” and left at 38°C for 10 min. They were then placed in a restrainer, and the lateral tail vein was punctured using a 0.5 M EDTA (pH 7.4)-soaked 21-gauge needle. A single drop of blood was transferred to a 2-mL tube, and 10 μL 0.5 M EDTA was added to prevent clotting. Each sample was then mixed with 400 μL ice-cold PBS, placed on 300 μL Histopaque 1083 (Sigma-Aldrich), and spun at 400 × g for 30 min in a microcentrifuge. The monocytic layer was aspirated using a pipette, mixed with 1 mL ice-cold PBS, pelleted, and resuspended in 200 μL flow cytometry buffer (PBS, 5% fetal bovine serum, 0.05% sodium azide), and 1 μL of the cocktail of conjugated antibodies was added (1:200 dilution in each case). After 1 h incubation in the dark, cells were pelleted and resuspended in 2% paraformaldehyde in PBS, followed by a further 45-min incubation in the dark. The stained fixed cells were then pelleted, resuspended in filtered flow cytometry buffer, and transferred to standard flow cytometry tubes. Samples were analyzed using a BD Bioscience LSRII flow cytometer, with plots created and analyzed in FlowJo V.10.6.1. The following antibodies were used: CD45 (Thermo Fisher; 30-F11; Super Bright 600), CD3 (Thermo Fisher; 17A2; FITC [fluorescein isothiocyanate]), CD4 (Thermo Fisher; RM4-5; eFluor 450), and CD8 (Thermo Fisher; SK1; Alexa Fluor 780).

Individual MLN from neonates and adults were harvested and placed in cold HBSS containing 1% calf serum (Gibco), 10 mM HEPES (Gibco), and 4 mM sodium azide. Cell suspensions were prepared by mincing tissues with scissors and pressing cells through wire mesh with 74 µm pore size (Compass Wire, Westville, NJ, USA). Cells were incubated in mouse Fc Block (CD16/CD32; BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA, USA) for 5 min on ice, followed by a 30-min incubation with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies specific for CD4, CD8, Ki67, or TCRαβ (BD Pharmingen). For intracellular cytokine staining, cells were activated with 50 ng/ml PMA and 0.5 µM ionomycin in the presence of 5 µg/ml brefeldin A, fixed and permeabilized, and stained with fluorochrome-conjugated anti-IFNγ (BD Pharmingen). Samples were run on a Becton Dickinson LSR II flow cytometer and analyzed with FlowJo flow cytometry analysis software.

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.
