Absolute Enumeration of Tang Cells in SSc

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Trucount Tubes (BD Biosciences) were used for determining the absolute numbers of Tang cells in SSc patients and HC. Fresh whole peripheral blood (100 μl) was added into the Trucount Tube and then stained with anti-CD3 Pacific Blue, anti-CD8 PerCP-Cy5.5 (Miltenyi Biotec), anti-CD4 PE-Cy7, anti-CD31 FITC, anti-CXCR4 PE and anti-CD28 allophycocyanin (APC) antibodies (all from BD Biosciences). After 15 minutes, red blood cells were lysed with NH4Cl and then cells were analyzed using a FACSCanto II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) equipped with FACSDiva software (BD Biosciences). The absolute cell count was obtained multiplying the number of positive cell events by the number of Trucount Tube beads and subsequently dividing by the number of Trucount bead events.

Immunophenotypic Analysis of Hematopoietic Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fresh leukapheresis products were stained with the following monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs): anti-CXCR4–PE, anti-CD49d–PE, anti-CD11a–PE, anti-CD34–FITC (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ) or corresponding isotype controls. Additionally, PB mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) were isolated by density gradient centrifugation, viably frozen, and stored in liquid nitrogen until use. Thawed PBMNCs were stained with anti-CD34–FITC (BD Biosciences), CD44–FITC, anti-CD38–PE, anti-CD34–PE (Beckman Coulter), and anti-CD133–APC MoAbs (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch-Gladbach, Germany). The percentage of cells expressing respective receptors and mean fluorescence intensity values in relation to isotype controls (MFIRs) were analyzed with a flow cytometer and its accompanying software (Gallios and Caluza, respectively, both Beckman Coulter).

Immunophenotyping of T-cell Subsets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Freshly isolated PBMCs were immunophenotyped for Treg number, FoxP3 expression (MFI) and CCR5/CxCR4 expression using fluorochrome-conjugated monoclonal antibodies (mAb): anti-CD4 PE/FITC, anti-CD25 PE-Cy7, anti-CCR5 PE, and anti-CxCR4 PE (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA) for cell-surface markers in combination with intracellular Fork-head box protein 3 (FoxP3) mAb conjugated with Alexa488 (eBioscience, San Diego, CA). Samples were acquired into a flow cytometer (FACS Calibur, BD, USA) and analyzed using Cell-Quest (BD Bioscience)/FlowJo (Treestar) softwares. For further analysis, patients were categorized on the basis of level of surface CD25 expression on CD4+ T-cells viz: CD4+CD25high (top 2% with high CD25 expression), CD4+CD25intermediate (middle 15% with intermediate CD25 expression) and CD4+CD25low/negative (lower 83% with very low or no expression of CD25) cells (Figure 1A & 1B). Absolute counts for different populations were calculated from the total lymphocyte count in the whole blood.

Macrophages were differentiated in UpCell tissue culture plates (Thermo Scientific Nunc, Rochester, NY). After indicated times, cells were released from plates according to manufacturer’s protocol and stained in 0.5% BSA and 1 mM EDTA in PBS using the following antibodies, anti-CCR5 APC, anti-CXCR4 PE, anti-CD14 Pacific Blue, anti-CD16 PE-Cy7 (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA), anti-CD4 FITC, anti-CD163 APC (ebioscience, San Diego CA), or anti-p24 PE antibody (KC57-RD1) (Beckman Coulter Indianapolis, IN). For intracellular p24 staining, cells were permeabilized and stained using the BD Cytofix/Cytoperm kit according to manufacturer’s instructions (BD Biosciences San Jose, CA). Flow cytometry was performed using a LSRII flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). Data were analyzed using Flow Jo software (Treestar, Ashland, OR).

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.
