CD4 or CD8 T-cell subsets were depleted in BALB/c mice by intraperitoneal injection of 250 µg of anti-CD4 (rat IgG2b, Clone GK1.5, Bio X Cell) or anti-CD8 (rat IgG2b, Clone 53-6.7, Bio X Cell) antibody 1 day before and 1 day after challenge. As control, an isotype-matched antibody (rat IgG2b, LTF-2, Bio X Cell) was used. For long-term depletion of CD4 T cells, injection was performed 2 days before prime vaccination and twice a week thereafter. At Day 39 (4 days post RSV-A2 challenge), the efficacy of these treatments was determined by FACS analysis of heparinized whole blood and splenocytes. Briefly, cells were treated with a purified anti-mouse CD16/CD32 monoclonal antibody (1:50, Fc Block™, BD) prior to staining with CD8 FITC (1:200; BioLegend) and CD4 brilliant violet 785 (1:200, BioLegend). For live versus dead cell discrimination, Zombie Aqua™ (1:200, BioLegend) was used. All cells were acquired using a digital flow cytometer (LSR II, BD Biosciences), and data were analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star).
Serum from MVA-RSV-vaccinated or mock-treated control mice was transferred by intraperitoneal (IP) injection of 1 ml of serum to non-vaccinated BALB/c mice 1 day before challenge.

The 314.8 mAb (mouse IgG1 anti-human ICOS) has been described before.21 Isotype controls (mouse IgG1, MOPC-1; rat IgG2b, LTF-2) and anti-Gr1 mAb (rat IgG2b, RB6-8C5) were purchased from BioXcell (West Lebanon, NH, USA). The MT807R1 recombinant Ig consisting of rhesus IgG1k constant regions and CDRs derived from the anti-human CD8 antibody M-T807 grafted into rhesus variable framework regions and was provided by the Nonhuman Primate Reagent Resource (NIH contract HHSN272200900037C and grant RR016001). The antibody was expressed in vitro using serum-free medium and purified by protein-A affinity chromatography. Endotoxin was <1EU/mg. Cyclophosphamide (CTX, Sigma Aldrich) was prepared extemporaneously according to supplier technical data sheet, i.e to 20 mg/ml of injectable water. All reagents were injected intraperitoneally.

Four- to 5-week-old male and female HLA-B*0702 Ifnar1−/− mice were vaccinated and boosted with NS3 vaccine or saline as described above. Spleens were harvested on day 49, and CD8+ T cells were purified from the spleens by negative selection using the EasySep CD8+ T Cell Isolation Kit (StemCell). Purified CD8+ T cells (107 per mouse) were intravenously injected into 7- to 8-week-old HLA-B*0702 Ifnar1−/− recipient mice. One day later, the recipient mice were infected retro-orbitally with ZIKV SD001. For the depletion experiments, vaccinated and boosted mice were intravenously injected with 300 μg of a CD8-depleting monoclonal antibody (mAb) (2.43, Bio X Cell) or an isotype control mAb (rat IgG2b, Bio X Cell) on days −3 and −1 before infection retro-orbitally with ZIKV SD001. In both sets of experiments, blood and organs were harvested 3 days later and ZIKV RNA was quantified.

PD-1/PD-L1 Blockade and CD4+ T Cell Depletion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CD4 T cell depletions were performed by injection of 500 μg of GK1.5 antibody (BioXcell) 2 days and again 1 day prior to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. PD-L1 blockade was achieved by injection of 200 μg of 10F.9G2 (BioXcell) at different times throughout the course of lifelong infection, and the regimen consisted of five doses every three days as previously described(9 (link)). All antibody treatments were given intraperitoneally (diluted in DPBS). Rat IgG2b (BioXcell) was used as negative control. CD8 T cell rescue and antiviral control were assessed at day 15 post-treatment.

Mice were injected i.p. with 300 μg isotype control or blocking antibodies purchased from BioXCell (West Lebanon, NH): rat IgG2a (clone: 2A3) – control for anti-PD-L2, rat IgG2b (clone: LTF-2) – control for anti-PD-L1, rat anti-PD-L1 (clone: 10F.9G2), rat anti-PD-L2 (clone: TY25). The antibodies were administered to the mice 24 h prior to IRI. Tregs were isolated from spleen of naïve WT mice with Dynal (Carlsbad, CA) CD4 negative selection kit and Miltenyi Biotec (Auburn, CA) CD25 positive selection kit according to the manufacturers’ protocols as previously described (18 (link)–20 (link)). One hundred thousand freshly isolated Tregs (in 200 microliters of normal saline) were administered to the mice 18 h prior to IRI (6 hours after injection of isotype or blocking antibodies).

8- to 12-week-old female mice were injected subcutaneously with 100μl PBS containing 5×105 B16ova melanoma cells into the left, ventral flank. Intraperitoneal injection of 200μl PBS containing either 0.4mg of a Syrian hamster anti-mouse CTLA4 (Clone UC10-4F10-11; BE0131), 0.5mg rat anti-mouse PD-L1 (Clone10F.9G2; BE0101), 0.4mg Syrian hamster IgG (BE0087) or 0.5mg rat IgG2b (Clone LTF-2; BE0090) (all from BioXCell, USA) was performed every 3 days starting from day 0 of B16ova challenge until day 18.
Tumor volume was calculated according to the following equation: V = π/6*length*width2. For survival analysis, mice with tumors exceeding the length limit of 15 mm were sacrificed and counted as dead.

Mice were injected by I.P. injection with anti‐CSF‐1R (CD115) antibody (AFS98, Bio X Cell, West Lebanon, NH) or anti‐CD11b antibody (M1/70, Bio X Cell,) at a dose of 5 mg kg−1 body weight (in 300 µL dilution buffer, in vitro pure, pH = 7.4) 24 h before glycolipid administration. For the control group, the same amount of rat IgG2b (Bio X Cell) was administered. To characterize the efficacy of monocyte/macrophage depletion in vivo, mice were I.V. injected with clodronate liposomes (from Vrije University Amsterdam) at 5 mg kg−1 body weight in 200 µL PBS 48 h before glycolipid administration.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For CD8+ T cell depletion, 200 μg anti-mouse CD8α antibody (clone 2.43, BioXcell) or isotype control (rat IgG2b, BioXcell) was intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected into mice every three days four times in the presence or absence of BF10 cotreatment. The depletion efficacy of CD8 T cells was examined by flow cytometry analysis of mouse peripheral blood samples (pre-bleed and post-bleed) and IHC as indicated. The macrophage depletion was accomplished by intraperitoneal administration of clodronate-Liposome (Liposoma BV, Netherlands) as our previous study.3 (link) Briefly, Tumor-bearing mice were received with clodronate- and/or PBS- liposome solution (200μL contains 1mg clodronate for 20g mice) at the indicated time, followed by co-treatment of IL-10-Fc or BF10 with a three-day interval for tumor growth analysis.

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.
