Spleens were removed from Itpkb+/+ and Itpkbfl/fl mice. Following RBC lysis, CD4+ T cells were purified by negative selection (Miltenyi Biotec) and resuspended in RPMI complete media containing 10% FCS, 2mM L-Glutamine, 100U penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 10mM Hepes, 1x NEAA, 1mM Na Pyruvate and 50 μM 2-ME. 5x104 purified CD4+ T cells were plated in a 96-well round bottom plate and stimulated with anti-CD3/28 beads (Invitrogen) at either a 0.5:1 or 2.5:1 beads-to-cell ratio. Cells were incubated for 48 h at 37°C, before adding 1μCi/well of 3H-thymidine for an additional 18 h at 37°C. 1x105 B cells purified by negative selection (Miltenyi Biotec) were stimulated with anti-IgM (Fab’2), anti-CD40, or LPS at the concentrations indicated in the presence of rIL-4 at 50ng/mL for 72h at 37°C, before adding Cell Titer Glo (Promega).

Leukocytes were isolated by density gradient separation from peripheral blood freshly-drawn from healthy donors and either used immediately for cytometry, lysed and frozen for immunoprecipitation/mass spectrometry, or selected for HIV infection using anti-CD4 mAb-based magnetic selection (EasySep) to attain a purity exceeding 95% CD4+ with less than 1% CD8+ cells as assessed by cytometry staining with L120-PE and SK1-FITC (both Becton Dickinson). CD4+ cell preparations were expanded for 3-5 days in RPMI supplemented with 100 U/ml IL-2 (Peprotech), anti-CD3/28 beads (Invitrogen), FBS (Lonza) and PSG (Invitrogen) before infection with the HIV strain NL4-3 [36 (link)]. NL4-3 was generated by infectious molecular clone transfection of HEK293T, with the infectious titre of culture supernatants determined using TZM-Bl [37 (link)]. Infection was performed by incubation of cells with virus at a nominal multiplicity of infection of 0.1 for 4-6hrs at 37°C. Cells were then washed and cultured in RPMI with IL-2 for a further 6 or 7 days before analysis by cytometry.

Enzyme activity of ASM was measured as previously described with minor modifications.38 (link), 39 (link) Briefly, 1 × 106 CD4+ T cells were stimulated with anti-CD3/28 beads (the ratio of bead and cell is 1 : 1; Invitrogen) for the indicated times. For single anti-CD3 or CD28 antibody stimulation, mouse anti-human CD3 or CD28 antibody (10 μg/ml; BD Pharmingen) was mixed with crosslinking antibody (10 μg/ml; BD Pharmingen) at 4 °C for 15 min, and then was introduced into CD4+ T cells. Stimulation was stopped by putting samples on dry ice for 10 s, and the cells were lysed in sodium acetate buffer (50 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.0, 0.5% NP-40).
Ceramide as the lipid cleavage product of ASM was then measured by TLC. Briefly, 10 μg of cell lysates were incubated with sphingomyelin (0.2 mg, dissolved in a mixture of chloroform and methanol (1 : 1)) for 2 h and then loaded onto a TLC plate, followed by chromatographic separation using a solvent system of chloroform and methanol (3 : 2). Ceramide production was then visualized in iodine vapor, identified using a standard run-in parallel, and scanned by a scanner. Relative ceramide levels were evaluated by Image J software (NIH).

Thymic (t)Treg were sort-purified from peripheral blood mononuclear cells by Ficoll-Hypaque (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden) isolated from human apheresis products (Memorial Blood Center, St. Paul, MN) in a two-step procedure whereby CD25+ cells (including tTreg) were positively selected using GMP-grade mAb-conjugated magnetic beads (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA) and then sorted for naïve tTreg (CD4+25++127-45RA+). Purified cells were stimulated with GMP-quality artificial antigen presenting cells (aAPC) and cultured for 14 days in high dose IL-2 (300 U/ml) as previously reported46 (link). Expanded tTreg were banked (frozen) on day 14. For the experiments described herein, tTreg were thawed and re-stimulated with GMP-compliant anti-CD3/28 beads (Thermo-Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) for 7–10 days. tTreg purity and in vitro suppressive function were assessed at the end of the culture. The tTreg are simply indicated as Treg in the text.

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.
