Thawed PBMCs from HIV-infected individuals were labeled with CellTrace Violet (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 1μM according to the manufacturer's protocol. The cells were then plated at 5 × 106 cells/well in 24 well plate in CellGenix GMP DC Medium (CellGenix) containing recombinant human (rh) IL-7 (1ng/ml, PeproTech) to support minimal T cell survival and rh FLT3L (50ng/ml, PeproTech) to mobilize primary DCs. After 24 hours (day 1), cognate CD8 epitope peptides from HIV or EBV were added to the culture at 1μg/ml. On day 2, human serum (Access Biologicals) and rh IL-2 (Miltenyi Biotec) were added at final concentrations of 8% (volume/volume) and 20U/ml, respectively. Half of the medium was replaced with RPMI-1640 containing 8% human serum, rhIL-2 (20U/ml), and penicillin-streptomycin (100 U/ml, Quality Biological) on days 5, 7 and 9. HIV and EBV-specific CD8+ T cells in the culture were analyzed by flow cytometry on days 6 and 12.

C81 is an HTLV-1-infected T-cell line that expresses Tax protein established from patients with T-cell leukemia. These cells are available through AIDS reagent catalog [53] (link)–[55] (link). Cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, and 1% L-glutamine (Quality Biological) and were incubated in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C. Cells were cultured to confluency and pelleted at 4°C for 15 min at 3,000 rpm. The cell pellets were washed twice with 25 ml of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) without Ca2+ and Mg2+ (Quality Biological) and centrifuged once more. Cell pellets were resuspended in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.5, 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 0.5% NP-40, 50 mM NaF, 0.2 mM Na3VO4, 1 mM DTT, one complete protease cocktail tablet/50 ml) and incubated on ice for 20 min, with a gentle vortexing every 5 min. Cell lysates were transferred to Eppendorf tubes and were centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min. Supernatants were transferred to a fresh tube where protein concentrations were determined using Bio-Rad protein assay (Bio- Rad, Hercules, CA).

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.
