As a source of FVIII-specific T-cells, the murine FVIII-specific T-cell hybridoma 1G8-A2, which was generated by immunizing SureL1 mice with BDD-FVIII (see Supplementary Material) (18 (link)), and the human FVIII-specific T-cell line D9E9 (from Dr. M. Jacquemin) (29 (link)) were used. Five day old MO-DCs from DRB10101 healthy donors or mitomycin C-treated splenocytes from SureL1 mice were incubated for 24 h with the FVIII-specific T-cell hybridoma 1G8-A2 (10,000 MO-DCs or 200,000 splenocytes for 100,000 T cells) with FVIII in X-VIVO15 medium (Lonza). Levels of secreted interleukin-2 (IL-2) were assessed using BD OptEIA mouse IL-2 ELISA set (BD Biosciences). When the human FVIII-specific T-cell line D9E9 was used, 5,000 T cells were incubated with either MO-DCs from a DRB11501 donor, or with the FVIII-specific human B-cell line (BO2C11) expressing the DRB11501/DRB50101 alleles (10,000 cells) (30 (link)) in DMEM-F12 media (Lonza) containing 10% FCS, 20 IU/ml human IL-2 (Sigma Aldrich), and FVIII fragments for 20 h at 37°C. When indicated, MO-DCs or BO2C11 were pre-incubated 30 min at 37°C with EDTA (5 mM) or mannan (1 mg/ml) prior to incubation with FVIII and T cells. The production of interferon-gamma was measured in the supernatants using the human IFN-gamma Duo Set (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from blood of healthy donors by density gradient centrifugation with Ficoll medium (Sigma, F4357). Isolated PBMCs were stored in 90% FBS with 10% DMSO at −80 °C.
PBMCs were activated by 1:100 diluted T Cell TransAct (Miltenyi Biotec, 130‐111‐160) and 20 IU ml−1 human IL‐2 (Sigma, SRP3085). Activated PBMCs were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco, 11875101) supplied with 5% FBS, 80 U ml−1 penicillin and 0.08 mg ml−1 streptomycin at 37 °C with 5% CO2.
SKBR3 and SKBR3_HR cells were seeded in 96‐well plate with DMEM for 24 h before co‐culture with PBMCs. Activated PBMCs were added to each well at a ratio of 20:1 with different trastuzumab concentrations, and PGE2 was added to the medium of SKBR3 cells to reach the same concentration as SKBR3_HR cells. After another 48 h incubation, PBMCs were removed, and the viability of cancer cells were evaluated by CCK‐8 assay.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Four healthy males (three in their twenties and one in his fifties) and one female (in her twenties) donated 10 cc of blood in compliance with the protocol approved by the IRB of Sookmyung Women’s University (SM-IRB-08-0225). CD8+ T cells were purified using the Dynal CD8+ Isolation Kit (Invitrogen, USA) and activated by the treatment of Dynabeads conjugated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies (Invitrogen). The Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) medium was replaced every two days with fresh supplements of human IL-2 (60 UI/ml; Sigma-Aldrich, USA) and IL-15 (5 ng/ml; ProSpec, USA). At the start of the activation, 5 mM NAM was added. The individual donors provided written informed consent to publish these case details.

CD19+ K562 and wild-type K562s were cultured in Isocove’s modified Dulbecco’s medium (ThermoFisher 12440053) supplemented with 10% FBS (Fisher 16140071) and 10 U ml−1 penicillin–streptomycin (Life Technologies 15140-122). Raji cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 media supplemented with 10% FBS. MDA-MB-468 (ATCC, HTB-132) and B16-F10 (ATCC, CRL-6475) cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (Gibco 11995073) supplemented with 10% FBS (Fisher 16140071) and 10 U ml−1 penicillin–streptomycin (Life Technologies 15140-122). Human cell lines were authenticated using short tandem repeat (STR) analysis (Labcorp) (Supplementary Table 1). Primary human CD3+ cells were obtained from an anonymous donor blood after apheresis (AllCells) and were cryopreserved in 90% FBS and 10% dimethylsulfoxide until subsequent use. After thawing, cells were cultured in human T cell media consisting of X-VIVO 10 (Lonza 04-380Q), 5% human AB serum (Valley Biomedical HP1022), 10 mM N-acetyl l-cysteine (Sigma A9165) and 55 μM 2-mercaptoethanol (Sigma M3148-100ML) supplemented with 50 units per ml human IL-2 (Sigma 11147528001). Seven total donors were utilized for experimentation. Figure 1 used donors 1, 2, 6 and 7; Fig. 2 used donors 2 and 3; Fig. 3 used donor 2; Fig. 4 used donor 4; Figs. 5 and 6 used donor 2.

Generating Anti-BCMA CAR-T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CD8+ T cells were selected from peripheral blood of healthy donors or patients. T cells were activated and expanded over time to achieve a high yield of activated CD8+ cells followed by transfection with anti-BCMA mRNA. The mRNA was a codon-optimized sequence containing the following sections (5’ to 3’); 3’UTR, human CD8 signal peptide, mouse kappa variable region, scFv linker, mouse IgH variable region, human CD8 hinge/transmembrane region, human CD28 signal domain, human CD3 signal domain, mouse alpha globin 5’UTR, and poly(A) tail (Figure 1A). The mRNA is synthesized by in vitro transcription from a linearized DNA plasmid. Mock RNA electroporated T cells are used as controls. Upon manufacturing, cells were frozen in cryomedia containing 10% DMSO, and were stored at −80°C until the day of use. Upon thawing, cells were incubated with LGM3 (Lonza), 5% Serum, and 2 ng/ml of human IL-2 (I2644, Sigma).

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from the fresh blood of healthy donor by density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll‐Paque (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden) The PBMCs were cultured in AIM‐V medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific) with 200 IU/mL of human IL‐2 (Sigma‐Aldrich) for 7 days. Fresh medium and IL‐2 were replenished every 3 days. After 7 days of culture, the IL‐2 activated lymphocytes including T cells, expressing PD‐1 (data not shown),29 were used for coculture experiments. The IL‐2 activated lymphocytes were cocultured with the GSK‐3 inhibitor or DMSO‐treated tumor cells at 1:1 ratio in 24‐well plates for 48 hours. After 48‐hour incubation, the proportion of apoptotic CD3‐positive cells, T cells, were analyzed with Annexin V and 7‐AAD using flow cytometry. The 3 independent coculture experiments were performed. This study was also approved by the Institutional Review Board of Fukushima Medical University.

The CEM and CEM-SS cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 media (Hyclone) plus 10% heat inactivated FBS (Gibco) medium containing 1% PenStrep (Hyclone) [122] (link). For stimulation, 10 ng/mL human IL-2 (Sigma) and 10 μg/mL PHA-L (Roche) was incubated with cells for 3 days. Cells were then harvested and 8 × 105 cells/mL of cells were dispensed to tubes and infected with 0.25 MOI of HIV-1LAI. The spreading infection then progressed as described for PBMCs. Samples were taken every three days for the duration of thirty days. The final supernatant was removed and the cellular genomic DNA was harvested by DNAzol (Invitrogen) treatment, following manufacturer protocol, for provirus sequencing. The frozen virus aliquots were subsequently used for RT assay and viral RNA extraction for cDNA synthesis.

In addition to the LCLs established in our laboratory, seven other lines were used, the characteristics of which are mentioned in Table 3. B95-8 and the four BL lines (Jijoye, Namalwa, P3HR1, and Raji) were purchased from the ATCC (Catalog numbers CRL 1612—ECACC 85011419, CCL-87, CRL-1432, HTB-62, and CCL-86 respectively, Manassas, VA, USA). The extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma lines (MEC04 and SNK6) were kindly provided by Marion Travert (Inserm U955, Hôpital Henri Mondor, Créteil, France). All lines were grown in RPMI1640 medium with glutaMAX (ThermoFisher Scientific, Illkirch-Graffenstaden, France; catalog number 61870-010) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Eurobio Scientific, Les Ulis, France; catalog number CVFSVF00-0U) and 1% penicillin-gentamicin at 37 °C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. MEC04 and SNK6 cell lines were cultured under the same conditions and supplemented with 100 U/mL of human IL-2 (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint-Quentin Fallavier, France; catalog number I7908).

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.
