Murine lung microvascular endothelial cells (MLMVEC) were isolated and cultured from murine lungs. Lungs were mechanically minced and enzymatically digested with 20 mg ml−1 collagenase A (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) at 37 °C for 2 h. Dynabeads (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) were incubated with anti-PECAM-1 antibody (clone Mec13.3, 30 μg per 200 μl, purified from hybridoma supernatant) at 4 °C for 24 h. Lung homogenisates were incubated with Dynabeads at 4 °C for 45 min, followed by magnetic separation of the Dynabeads from the supernatant. MLMVEC cells were culture on gelatin-coated dishes for 4–7 days. The mRNA from MLMVEC was extracted using Trizol extraction (peqGOLD TriFast, Peqlab, Erlangen, Germany). mRNA was transcribed into cDNA using M-MLV reverse transcriptase. Quantitative expression analysis by qRT-PCR was performed using primers specific for murine ICAM-1 and GAPDH70 (link). Surface expression of ICAM-1 was analysed using immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry as described previously9 (link).

CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from 4 independent donors were thawed, mixed at a 1:1 ratio, and rested for 3–4 hours in basal media (RPMI supplemented with 10% FBS) before activation. 3 × 105 cells were seeded in a U-bottom 96-well plate at a density of 1.5 × 106 cells/mL. Supported lipid bilayer formulations (aAPCs) and CD3/CD28 Human T Activator Beads (DynaBeads, Gibco) were suspended in complete T cell medium and cocultured with T cells at defined aAPC-to-cell ratios based on equivalent particle surface area of 65 ± 15 μm2/cell (1:3 microsphere-to-cell, 1:10 HeLa-to-cell, 1:1 RBC-to-cell, and 1:1 DynaBead-to-cell). For outgrowth experiments, media was exchanged for fresh cytokine-supplemented medium every 3 days following activation. On days 6, 9, 12, and 14 post-activation, all aAPC-stimulated cells were counted by hemocytometer. Cells were passaged into larger culture vessels once reaching densities > 1.25 × 106/mL.

Jurkat and Primary T Cell Labeling and Transduction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Jurkat T cell line was obtained commercially (#TIB-152, ATCC, Manassas, VA) for initial nanoemulsion cell labeling characterizations. Jurkat cells were grown in RPMI-1640 media (Gibco, Waltham, MA) plus 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 10 mM HEPES buffer (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid), 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 1.5 mg/mL sodium bicarbonate.
Primary human T cells were obtained from blood samples sourced from the San Diego Blood Bank and enriched for T cells by Ficoll (Histopaque 1077, Sigma Aldrich) gradient density centrifugation and magnetic assisted cell sorting (Dynabeads, Thermo Fisher). T-cells were then activated with human T-activator CD3/CD28 Dynabeads and allowed to expand for two days in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FBS and 100 units/mL of recombinant human interleukin 2 (IL-2, Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ). For transduction, we employed a vector specific to epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFR-vIII) as described by Johnson et al. (30 ). A detailed CAR virus production and human T cell transduction is available elsewhere (31 (link)). CAR receptor expression was confirmed by flow cytometry. We used T cell populations with >70% CAR+ expression.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
P. falciparum NF54 parasites (27 (link)) were grown in vitro in O Rh+ erythrocytes at 37°C in a controlled atmosphere, using complete culture medium (RPMI 1640 supplemented with 0.5% AlbuMax II [Life Technologies BV, Nærum, Denmark]), essentially as described previously (28 (link)). The P. falciparum NF54-derived and pVBH-transfected clone G6 was generated as described elsewhere (29 (link)– (link)31 (link)). It was maintained in the same way as the parental strain P. falciparum NF54, except that blasticidin (10 mg/ml; Life Technologies) was added to shut down transcription of endogenous var genes and to erase the epigenetic memory. IEs were selected for surface expression of defined PfEMP1 proteins by immunomagnetic selection using (i) PfEMP1-specific rat antisera followed by biotinylated anti-rat antibody (Dako) and streptavidin-coupled Dynabeads (Fisher Scientific) or (ii) PAM1.4 followed by protein A-coupled Dynabeads (Fisher Scientific), essentially as described previously (32 (link)). For selection of IgM-binding IEs, we used human IgM (Sigma) coupled to M-450 epoxy beads (Life Technologies) according to the manufacturers' instructions. The genotypic identity of the parasites and the absence of Mycoplasma contamination were verified regularly as described previously (33 (link)).

For the binding studies, a soluble mTLR9 ectodomain fused to the Fc fragment of mouse IgG (mTLR9-Fc, R&D Systems) was bound to protein-G-coupled Dynabeads (Dynabeads Protein G for Immunoprecipitation, Novex; cat. no. 10003D). Briefly, 7.5 μg of mTLR9-Fc (or PBS alone—negative control) was incubated with 70 μl of beads for 3 h at room temperature and washed three times with wash buffer (1 × PBS, 0.02% Tween-20, pH 7.5 or pH 6.0). Then, minM80PD-3′FITC (250 pmol) and/or TCGTTPD-3′FITC or TTTTTPD-3′FITC (5 μmol) in phosphate buffer (pH 6 or 7.5) were added per sample, incubated for 3 h at room temperature, and washed three times with wash buffer of an appropriate pH. Bound DNA and mTLR9-Fc were eluted via incubation at 95 °C for 10 min in 42 μl formamide loading buffer. The ODNs and standard were separated using 20% TBE-urea polyacrylamide gel in TBE buffer and imaged using an IVIS Lumina (PerkinElmer). Then, mTLR9-Fc was detected with western blot analysis using goat anti-mouse-HRP antibodies (1:4,000, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies, sc-2005).
