DCs were harvested from the wells, and washed two times with PBS. Simultaneously, CD4+ T cells from the same patient were thawed and washed two times with PBS. CD4+ T cells were stained with CellTrace Violet according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Invitrogen, USA). DCs and T cells were combined in a round-bottom 96-wells plate (Corning Costar, Sigma Aldrich) in a ratio of 1:10 in triplo. As positive control, T cells were stimulated with 1:10 CD3/28 beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific) (Figure 1). After 6 days, supernatant was pooled for analysis with ELISA, and T cell polarization (Th1 (CD4+CXCR3+), Th2 (CD4+CRTH2+), and Treg (CD4+CD25+CD127FoxP3+)) and proliferation were measured with flow cytometry. Flow cytometry data were analyzed with FACS DIVA software (BD).

Cytolytic Activity of CAR T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Frozen human T cells collected from a single health donor were activated with CD3/28 beads (ThermoFisher), expanded in vitro, thawed and electroporated with mRNA transcripts encoding c-Met BBZ CAR, mesothelin BBZ CAR and CD19 BBZ CAR as described [11 (link)]. We have previously demonstrated that the cytotoxic activity of mRNA c-Met-CAR T cells was specific against c-Met expressing cell lines such as M30, a human tumor cell line derived from mesothelioma [17 (link)] and cytotoxic activity was not observed against NCI-H522, a lung cancer cell line which lacks c-Met expression [16 (link)]. To confirm the cytolytic activity on c-Met expressing breast cancer cell lines, BT20 (ATCC HTB-19) and TB129 [14 (link)], tumor cells were loaded with 51Cr and incubated with mRNA electroporated CAR T cells (effector cells or E) at various E:T ratios in V-bottom plates for 4 hours. 51Cr released as a result of cell lysis was quantified as described [18 (link)]. All in vitro cell killing assays were performed in duplicates and repeated in at least three independent experiments.

TCR-α and TCR-β gene sequences from selected T cell clones were determined by RT-PCR using multiplex primers as reported.27 (link),28 (link) To increase gene expression, whole TCR sequences were codon optimized, and the constant regions were murinized as previously reported.29 (link) The TCRα and TCRβ genes were cloned into the retroviral vector, pSplice-TCR-BC1 (Takara Bio).30 (link) The vector was transduced into the GP13 packaging cell line (ATCC) and the culture supernatant was collected after 48 h, and infected to 3-day activated T cells with CD3/28 beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in the presence of 50 U/mL IL-2 in a Retronectin (Takara Bio)-coated plate by “Spinfection” according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Resultant TCR-T cells were analyzed for transduction efficiency five days after transduction with PE-labeled anti-TCRVβ18 antibody (#IM2049, Beckman Coulter, USA).

NK Cell Activation in HIV-1 Infection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Levels of NK cell activation have been determined through expression of CD107a on the surface of NK cells (Alter et al., 2004 (link)). Enriched primary NK cells were cultured for 3 days in complete media supplemented with 50 IU/ml hrIL-2 and 1 ng/ml hrIL-15 and subsequently co-cultured with differentially stimulated autologous CD4+ T cells. Autologous CD4+ T cells were either cultured with CD3/28 beads (Gibco) or PHA with or without subsequent HIV-1 infection for a total of 3 days. Monensin was added one hour after setup of the co-culture followed by additional 3 hours of incubation. Cells were stained for viability (Live/Dead Blue), expression of CD3, CD4, CD16, CD56 and then fixed with paraformaldehyde (Cell fix, BD).

Whole PBMC were left untreated or stimulated with 100 ng/ml staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB, Sigma) at 2*10e6 cells per ml for 18 h at 37 °C. Supernatants were harvested and stored at −80 °C until use. CD4+, CD8+, CD14+, CD19+, CD56+ sorted cells, and moDCs were either left untreated or stimulated at 2*10e6 cells per ml with 100 ng/ml SEB, 1 μg/ml resiquimod (R848) (InvivoGen)—a toll-like receptor 7 and 8 ligand, a potent activator of both monocytes and B cells—, 10 μ/ml CD3/28 beads (Gibco, Life Technologies) for 18 h or 100 ng/ml phorbol myristate acetate (PMA, Sigma) and 1 μg/ml ionomycin (iono, Sigma) for 6 h at 37 °C.
For mRNA analysis, cells were lysed with RLT Plus buffer (Qiagen) and kept at −20 °C until further extraction.

Reprogramming T Cells into iPSCs

CD3+CD45+side scatter low T cells were isolated by
FACS and stimulated with CD3/28 beads (Life Technologies) and transduced
with reprogramming factors via Sendai virus vectors as previously described
(Nishimura et al., 2013 (link)). As
noted, transduced cells were seeded onto murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEF)
feeder cells and cultured in T cell medium (RPMI-1640 supplemented with
10% human AB Serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100
ng/ml streptomycin), which was gradually replaced with human iPSC medium
(Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium/F12 supplemented with
20% knockout serum replacement, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1%
nonessential amino acids, 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, and 5 ng/ml basic
fibroblast growth factor). Formed iPSC colonies were picked up and
maintained in Essential 8 medium.

50,000 sorted DCs (2.5 ×105 cells /ml) were activated with different stimuli and culture supernatants from 24-h were analyzed for cytokine production. 500,000 T cells (1 ×106 cells /ml) were stimulated with CD3/28-beads (Life Technology) at 1:1 ratio and the supernatants were harvested at 6-h for T cell cytokine measurement. DC and T cell cytokines were measured using the multiplex kit (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA) as per the manufacturer's protocol and analyzed using the BioPlex Luminex 100 instrument (EMD Millipore). Cytokine concentrations were calculated using Milliplex analyst software with a 5-parameter curve-fitting algorithm applied for standard curve calculations.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) were isolated through centrifugation using Ficoll reagent (Haoyang, China). Then CD3 + T cells were positive selected by CD3 microbeads as we previously reported (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, USA). For flow cytometry analysis, cells were incubated with fluorochrome-labeled Abs: Fitc CD4, APC CD8, APC/CY7 interferon-γ(IFN-γ), PE interleukin-4 (IL-4) and APC interleukin-17A (IL-17A).

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.
