Mice received 30 μg of Flt3L (CDX-301, Celldex) i.p. every day for 9 days as previously published (Salmon et al., 2016 (link)). Mice received 100 μg of anti-CD40 (clone FGK4.5, BioXCell) i.p. every 5 days starting concurrent with other treatment upon palpation and 1st ultrasound measure. Certain mice received 25 μg of STING agonist (ML-RR-S2 CDA, MedChemExpress) intratumorally every 4 days starting concurrent with other treatment upon palpation and 1st ultrasound measure.
Mice received Radiation (RT) as three daily fractionated doses (8 Gy x 3) using the Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP200, XStrahl Life Sciences). Mice were injected i.p. with an iodine contrast agent (2100 mg/kg) before being placed on the irradiation platform one at a time under isoflurane anesthesia. Conebeam computed tomography (CT) imaging was performed for each individual mouse to pinpoint the pancreas, images were imported into Muriplan and used to select an isocenter. The tumor was then irradiated using anterior-posterior-opposed beams using the 10mm x 10mm collimator at a dose rate of 3.9 Gy/min. Mice were monitored over 2 weeks for signs of radiation sickness or weight-loss. DietGel recovery gel was provided for 14 day window immediately following radiation therapy in survival studies.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
OT1 T cells were isolated from whole splenocytes by CD8-negative magnetic selection (Biolegend) and 106 cells were adoptively transferred, unless otherwise noted, into CD45-congenic recipient mice by tail vein injection. The following day 250–500μg of depleting antibody was delivered intraperitoneally. For subunit-vaccinations, 100μg whole ovalbumin (Sigma), 50μg poly(I:C) (Sigma), and 50μg anti-CD40 (clone FGK4.5, made in house or from BioXCell) suspended in PBS was given intravenously and assessed 7 days later unless otherwise stated. For infectious challenge, 107 PFU of Vaccinia virus expressing ovalbumin was given intravenously and assessed 5 days later unless otherwise stated. Spleens and lymph nodes harvested were macerated with glass slides, RBC lysed with ACK buffer, and stained with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies to determine phenotype of transferred OT1 T cells.

Ovalbumin (Catalog number A5503, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) was decontaminated of lipopolysaccharide using a Triton X-114 detoxification method60 (link) and tested with Pierce LAL chromogenic endotoxin quantitation kit (catalog number 88282, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). Ovalbumin was labeled with Alexafluor 488 using Alexafluor 488 succimidyl ester labeling system (Catalog number A20100, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). Ovalbumin was used in combination with poly(I:C) (catalog number VAC-PIC, Invivogen, San Diego, CA), and anti-CD40 (clone FGK4.5, BioXCell, West Lebanon, NH)61 (link),62 (link). For pathogen challenge, female C57BL/6 mice were injected with either 1 × 107 pfu/mouse of vaccinia virus western reserve strain expressing the Ovalbumin protein (VV-ova) intraperitoneally or 1 × 104 pfu/footpad24 (link) using the vaccinia virus western reserve strain with Ovalbumin labeled with Alexafluor 488. For anti-PDPN injection purified clone 8.1.14 (catalog number 127402, Biolegend, San Diego CA) was injected at 100 μg intravenously 4 h before ova-488 and 72 h later.

B Cell Migration Assay

B cells were enriched from spleens of cocaged littermate males by depletion using biotinylated antibodies (anti-CD43, anti-TER119, anti-CD11c, anti-TCRβ, anti-CD4, and anti-CD8) and streptavidin-conjugated beads (EasySep Streptavidin RapidSpheres). B cells were activated with 10 µg ⋅mL--1 F(ab′)2 goat anti-mouse IgM (Jackson Immunoresearch) and 10 µg ⋅mL--1 anti-CD40 (clone FGK4.5; Bio X Cell) in complete RPMI for 60 h. B cells were collected, washed in prewarmed migration medium (RPMI containing 0.5% fatty acid-free BSA, 10 mM Hepes, and 50 IU penicillin/streptomycin), and rested in migration medium at 37 C for 1 h. B cells (200 µL, 1 × 106cells) were then added to transwells (5-µm pore; Corning Costar no. 93421) with the indicated chemokines in migration media (600 µL) in the bottom chamber and allowed to migrate for 3 h at 37 C and 5% CO2. Migrated cells were then collected from the bottom chamber, stained for viable B220+ cells, and collected on a BD LSR II cytometer for a fixed time under constant flow rate and normalized to an “input” well.

Adoptive Transfer of Tumor-Specific CD8+ T Cells

Irradiation-conditioned mice were administered 4 Gy WBI on day −1 using a 60Co Gammacell irradiator (Nordion International) or an X-RAD 320ix biological x-ray irradiator (Precision X-Ray Inc.). Anti-CD40- and control-conditioned mice received 100 μg purified anti-CD40 (clone FGK45, BioXcell) or control rat IgG (Sigma) on days −1 and +1 by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection. Whole-cell populations were recovered from spleens and axillary, brachial, superficial cervical, mesenteric, inguinal, and lumbar lymph nodes [35 (link)] of TCR-IV donor mice. CD8+ cells were enriched by autoMACS magnetic sorting using the manufacturer’s recommendations (Miltenyi Biotec), resulting in approximately 90% pure CD8+TCR-IV+ T cells. 1 × 106 naïve TCR- IV T cells were administered intravenously in 200 μL PBS on day 0 of the experiments.

SARS-CoV-2 RBD Protein Immunization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All experiments involving mice were conducted following protocols approved by the University of Colorado Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) according to guidelines provided by the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care. C57BL/6 mice were obtained from the Jackson Laboratory and were subsequently bred in specific-pathogen-free facilities at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Experiments were performed in 6–12-week-old female mice. Mice were immunized via tail-vein injection with 100 μg or 200 μg, of SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD protein plus adjuvant. SARS-CoV-2 RBD protein (Wuhan-Hu-1; GenBank: MT380724.1) was expressed by transfection of Expi293 cells with a His-tagged vector (a gift from F. Krammer, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY)(11 (link)) and subsequently purified from cell culture supernatants by the University of Colorado Cell Technologies Shared Resource. Immunizations were adjuvanted with 40 μg poly(I:C) (Invivogen), and 40 μg anti-CD40 (clone FGK4.5, BioXCell). Vaccines were made immediately prior to immunization and injected in a total volume of 200 μl.

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.
