Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from buffy coats from healthy donors (Blutspende Zürich, Zurich, Switzerland) by density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll-paque PLUS (Cat: 17–1440–02; GE Healthcare). The monocyte population was magnetically enriched by negative selection using the Human Monocyte Isolation Kit II (Cat: 130–091–153; MACS, Miltenyi Biotech). The monocyte purity was >95% as confirmed by FACS analysis with an anti-CD14 antibody (BD Biosciences).
Freshly isolated human monocytes were differentiated into macrophages by incubation with either 50 ng/mL of human M-CSF (Cat: 14–8789) or G-CSF (Cat: 578602) (both from BioLegend) in RPMI medium (Cat: 61870–010; Gibco) supplemented with 1% heat-inactivated human AB serum (Cat: 34005100; Invitrogen), for up to 8 d. 20 ng/mL of recombinant human IL-4 (Cat: 204-IL; R&D Systems) was used as a control to induce M2-type macrophage differentiation and anti-human G-CSF (1 μg/mL, clone BVD13–3A5, Cat: 502101; BioLegend) or isotype control (rat IgG1 Cat: 400401) was used to neutralize G-CSF in MDA-MB-231 conditioned medium.

Freshly isolated human CD4+ T cells were cultured in X-Vivo15 Medium (Lonza) supplemented with 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/ml human recombinant IL-2 (ReproTech), 50 U/ml penicillin, 50 mg/ml streptomycin (Sigma Aldrich), and 5% heat-inactivated human AB serum (Invitrogen) at 37 °C in a humidified CO2 incubator. Cell culture-treated 96-well U bottom plates were used (Bio-Greiner one).

Activation and Expansion of Human Naive CD8+ T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
96 well U-bottom plates (Greiner bio-one) were pre-coated with 5 μg/ml anti-CD3e (UCHT1, BioLegend) and 15 μg/ml anti-CD28 (CD28.2, BioLegend) in 0.1 M sodium bicarbonate buffer pH = 8.2 for 1 h at 37 °C, followed by 4 °C. Cells were sorted with a FACSAriaIII (BD) cell sorter for purity. Human naïve live CD8aCD11bCD14CD19-CD3+CD4+CD45RA+CD45ROCD127+CD25- T cells were cultured in x-Vivo15 Medium supplemented with 2 mM glutamine, penicillin (50 U/ml), streptomycin (50 μg/ml), and 5% (vol/vol) heat-inactivated human AB serum (Invitrogen) in the presence of 100 U/ml human recombinant IL-2 (Peprotech) in an humidified incubator at 37 °C with 5% CO2. TCR stimulation was limited to 18 h by transferring cells into uncoated wells. Cells were cultured for additional 36 h without further TCR stimulation.

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.
