Characterization of Splenic Immune Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spleens were harvested from naive mice and septic mice at days 7 and 14. Single-cell suspensions were created by passing cells through 70-μm pore-sized cell strainers (BD Falcon, Durham, NC). Erythrocytes were then lysed using ammonium chloride lysis buffer and washed twice using phosphate-buffered saline. Cells were stained with the following antibodies for flow cytometric studies: PE Cy7 anti-CD11b, PB anti-Ly6C, APC Cy7 anti-Ly6G, PerCpCy5.5 anti-MHCII, FITC anti-F4/80, and APC anti-CD11c (BD Pharmigen, Billerica, MA). Sytox Blue (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was used for cell viability analysis, and samples were acquired and analyzed using a LSRII flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and FACSDiva (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA).

Bone marrow cells from young and old adult mice were aseptically collected from the non-injured lower extremity (femur bone) 1 day after polytrauma (old PT n=8, young PT n=8) or 1 day after pneumonia (old PT+PNA n=7, young PT+PNA n=7), as well as from naïve young and old adult control mice. Single cell suspensions were created by passing the cells through 70 μm pore sized cell strainers (BD Falcon, Durham, NC). Erythrocytes were lysed using ammonium chloride lysis buffer and washed with phosphate-buffered saline. HSPCs were isolated via immunomagnetic negative selection using EasySep™ Mouse Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Isolation kit (StemCell Technologies, Vancouver, BC) according to the manufacturer’s protocol (9 (link)).

Immunomodulatory Effects of MDSCs on T Cell Proliferation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Similar to phenotyping, spleens were harvested from septic and nonseptic mice, and single cell suspensions were collected by passing the cells through 70-μm pore-sized cell strainers (BD Falcon, Durham, NC). T cells were collected by negative immunomagnetic selection using EasySep Mouse T Cell Isolation Kit (Stemcell Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada). MDSCs were enriched by positive immunomagnetic separation using anti-Gr-1 biotin followed by anti-Biotin microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). T cells were stained with cell trace violet to detect cell proliferation then plated with and without MDSCs in a 1:1 ratio, stimulated with anti-CD3+/CD28+ plate-bound antibodies at a concentration of 1 μg/mL, and allowed to incubate for 4 days at 37°C. T cell proliferation was then measured in the presence and absence of MDSCs. The proliferation index and percent CD4+ and CD8+ T cell suppression were calculated for every murine subject at each time point.

Multiparametric Flow Cytometry Analysis

Spleen, blood, bone marrow (BM) and BAL cells were harvested and single cell suspensions were created by passing the cells through 70 μm pore sized cell strainers (BD Falcon, Durham, NC). Erythrocytes were then lysed using ammonium chloride lysis buffer and washed two times using phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) without calcium, phenol red, or magnesium. Cells were stained with the following antibodies for flow cytometric studies: PE Cy7 anti-CD11b, APC anti-Gr-1, and Pacific Blue anti-Ly6G (BD Pharmingen, Billerica, MA). Additional antibodies used were anti-lineage mixture (Lin; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA), anti-ckit, anti-Sca-1, anti-CD135, anti-CD150 (eBioscience, San Diego, CA). Sytox Blue (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was used for cell viability analysis and samples were acquired and analyzed using an LSRII flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and FACSDiva (BD Biosciences)(37 (link), 38 (link)).

Multicolor Flow Cytometry Analysis of Immune Cell Subsets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spleen cells were harvested by passing the single-cell suspensions through 70-μm pore-sized cell strainers (BD Falcon, Durham, NC). For detection of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), splenocytes were stained with FITC-conjugated anti-CD11b (eBioscience), percpcy5.5-conjugated anti-Gr-1 (Biolegend, San Diego, CA), and PE-CY7 anti-CD244 (Biolegend) antibodies. To examine the expression of INF-γ and CD107a in CD8 + T cells, both CD8 + T lymphocytes from the in vitro co-culture and the isolated splenocytes were stimulated with a cell activation cocktail (including Brefeldin A; Biolegend) according to the manufacturer's instructions and incubated at 37°C for 6 h before staining. The cells were stained with Brilliant Violet 510-conjugated anti-CD3 (Biolegend) and Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-CD8a (Biolegend), followed by intracellular staining with APC-conjugated anti-interferon γ (anti-IFN-γ; eBioscience) and PE-conjugated anti-CD107a (eBioscience). To examine the expression of programmed death 1 (PD-1) in CD8 + T lymphocytes in vitro, the cells were stained with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-CD8a and Brilliant Violet 421-conjugated anti-CD279 (PD-1; Biolegend). Cells were analyzed using an LSR Fortessa (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) flow cytometer, and the data were analyzed using FlowJo software (BD Life Sciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ).

The trachea was cannulated and lavaged four times with 800 μl cold PBS containing 2 mM EDTA. The BAL cells were counted using a hematocytometer (Hausser Scientific, Horsham, PA). BAL single cell suspensions were created by passing the cells through 70 μm pore sized cell strainers (BD Falcon, Durham, NC). Cells were stained with the following antibodies for flow cytometric studies: PE Cy7 anti-CD11b, APC anti-siglec, and Pacific Blue anti-Ly6G, FITC anti CD11c, and PE anti-F4/80 (BD Pharmingen, Billerica, MA). Sytox Blue (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was used for cell viability analysis and samples were acquired and analyzed using an LSRII flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and FACSDiva™.

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.
