SIV-specific CD8+ T cells were quantified in mononuclear cells isolated from blood and LN by flow cytometric intracellular cytokine analysis, as previously described in detail45 (link). Briefly, mixes of sequential (11 amino acid overlapping) 15-mer peptides (AnaSpec) spanning the SIVmac239 Gag, Env, Pol, Nef, Rev/Tat, Vif/Vpr/Vpx proteins were used as antigens in conjunction with anti-CD28 (BD Biosciences) and anti-CD49d co-stimulatory mAb (BD Biosciences). Cells were incubated at 37 °C with peptide mixes/pools and co-stimulatory antibodies for 1 hr, followed by an additional 8 hr. incubation in the presence of Brefeldin A (5 μg/ml, Sigma-Aldrich). Co-stimulation in the absence of peptides served as background control. Cells were stained with fluorochrome-conjugated monoclonal antibodies [CD3 (SP34-2), CD4 (L200), CD8a (SK1), IFN-γ (B27)(BD Biosciences), TNF (MAB11, eBioscience), CD69 (FN50, BD Biosciences)], and data were collected on an LSRII (BD Biosciences) and analyzed using the FlowJo software program (version 8.8.7; Tree Star, Inc.). Response frequencies to each peptide mix were defined by the intracellular expression of TNF and/or IFN-γ by CD3+, CD4, CD8+ T cells after subtraction of background. Response frequencies to each peptide mix were added to obtain total SIV-specific response frequencies.

Peptide Pool Preparation for HIV Immunogenicity Assays

HIVconsv-derived 15-mer peptides overlapping by 11 aa (Ana Spec, San Jose, CA 95131) were reconstituted to 40 mg/ml in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and diluted to working stock solutions of 4 mg/ml in phosphate-buffered saline. For ELISPOT assays, peptides were combined into six pools, P1–P6, of 32–36 peptides per pool in R10 (RPMI 1460 supplemented with 10% FBS, 2 mmol/l L-glutamine, 1 mmol/l sodium pyruvate, 10 mmol/l N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N9-2-ethanesufonic acid (HEPES) and penicillin-streptomycin antibiotics; Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and 2×-concentrated stocks of 3 µg/ml were prepared and aliquoted into peptide plates along with the positive and negative controls. For frozen ELISPOT assay, peptides were arranged into seven pools comprising nonjunctional peptides in P1–P6 and junctional peptides in JXN. For identification of stimulatory 15-mers, peptides were arranged into 3-D matrix pools. For ICS studies, the peptides were combined into four pools covering Gag, Pol (two pools), and Env+Vif. A pool of FEC (“Flu”, EBV and CMV) peptides consisting of 32 previously defined CD8+ T-cell epitopes from influenza virus, Epstein-Barr virus, and cytomegalovirus (CEF; NIH AIDS Research and Reference Program) was reconstituted in dimethylsulfoxide and used at a final concentration of 1 µg/ml as a positive control. All peptide stocks and plates were stored at −80oC until use.

HIVconsv-derived 15-mer peptides overlapping by 11 amino acids and spanning the entire HIVconsv protein (Ana-Spec, San Jose, USA) were reconstituted to 10–40 mg/ml in DMSO and diluted to working stock solutions of 4 mg/ml in PBS as described previously [15 (link)].

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.
