Adoptive Transfer of B and CD4+ T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
B cells and CD4+ T cells were isolated from nonexposed or KELlo RBC–exposed C57BL/6 recipients. To isolate each population, splenocytes from each group were harvested by sterile mechanical disruption of the spleen and lysis of RBCs. B cells or CD4+ T cells were then negatively enriched using a mouse Pan B Cell Isolation Kit II or a mouse CD4+ T Cell Isolation Kit (both from Miltenyi Biotec). CD4+ T cells or B cells were adoptively transferred into C57BL/6 mice, as done previously (107 CD4+ T cells or B cells into C57BL/6 recipients or 5 × 107 B cells into B cell–deficient μMT mice) (25 (link)–30 (link)), followed by KEL RBC transfusion. Following transfer, all recipients were challenged with KEL RBCs. For cellular transfer into μMT mice, recipients were conditioned with gamma radiation treatment (300 rad) 24 h prior to B cell transfer, as done previously (31 (link)).

B cells were isolated from spleen homogenate of C57BL/6 mice by using a mouse Pan B Cell Isolation Kit II (130-104-443, Miltenyi Biotec) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Half of the isolated B cells were loaded with 2.5 μM DbGagL peptide (PanaTecs) (31 (link)) and stained with 1 μM Cell Trace CFSE (Invitrogen) (target cells). The other half of the isolated cells were left unpulsed and stained using a QTracker 655 cell staining kit (Invitrogen) (control cells). Cells (1.5 × 107) of the cell mix or target cells (7.5 × 106) were adoptively transferred to the recipient mice 5 minutes before the beginning of the bone marrow surgery required for the intravital imaging.

Adoptive Transfer of B and T Cells

For the B cell adoptive transfer experiments, spleens and LNs (inguinal, popliteal, iliac, axillar and brachial) from 5 naïve donor mice per strain (wt or MHCII-/-) were harvested and processed as described above. Cells were pooled for each strain and B cells were isolated by positive selection with the mouse Pan B Cell Isolation Kit II (Miltenyi Biotec) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Approximately 2.5×107 B cells/mouse in 300μl of PBS were transferred into naïve recipient μMT-/- mice by i.v. injection.
For the CD4 T cell adoptive transfer experiments, 5 wt (CD90.2), 5 μMT-/- (CD90.2) and 10 CD90.1 mice were immunized with ID93/GLA-SE. One week later their spleens and dLN (inguinal, popliteal, iliac and axillar) were harvested and processed as described above. Total cells from the 5 wt (CD90.2) and 5 CD90.1 constituting the first combined donor population (control) and 5 μMT-/- (CD90.2) and 5 CD90.1 mice constituting the second combined donor population (experimental) were pooled and CD4 T cells were isolated with the mouse CD4 T Cell Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Approximately 3.5×107 CD4 T cells/mouse in 300μl of PBS were transferred into naïve CD45.1 recipient mice by i.v. injection (see Fig. 5a for a schematic representation of the experimental design).

Quantifying Intracellular Calcium Mobilization

Multivalent cHEL was generated as previously described by biotinylation of HEL (Ubelhart et al, 2015) and crosslinking with unconjugated streptavidin (Invitrogen) at a ratio of 1:2. Intracellular Ca2+ mobilization was measured as described (Storch et al, 2007; Ubelhart et al, 2015). For measurement of Ca2+ mobilization cells were loaded with the Ca2+‐sensitive dye Indo‐1 (Molecular Probes; Invitrogen) and stimulated with HEL (Sigma) at the indicated concentrations (the amount of HEL was constant in both HEL antigen configurations), BSA (Serva) and 10 μg/ml α‐mouse κLC (polyclonal; Southern Biotech). WT Ramos cells expressing endogenous BCR were stimulated with 10 μg/ml α‐human λLC (polyclonal; Southern Biotech) or 10 μg/ml α‐human μHC antibody (polyclonal; Southern Biotech), respectively. For analysis of Ca2+ mobilization in splenocytes, total splenic B cells were pre‐enriched by using the B‐cell isolation kit, mouse or the Pan‐B‐cell isolation kit II, mouse (both from Miltenyi Biotec) for Pten‐deficient cells according to the manufacturer's instructions. To exclude residual non‐B cells, purified cells were stained with α‐CD90.2‐PE (53‐2.1; BD) prior to loading with Indo‐1. Ca2+ flux measurements were acquired at a FACS LSR Fortessa flow cytometer (BD).

Multiparametric Flow Cytometry of Mouse Splenocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single cell suspensions from mouse spleens were obtained via mechanical disruption through 40 µm cell strainer (Falcon) and red blood cell lysis through 1xRBC Lysis Buffer (eBioscience). Cells were incubated on ice for 30 min with the combination of primary fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies or primary unconjugated biotin antibodies followed by conjugated streptavidin (complete list in Supplementary Table S1) in PBS supplemented with 0.5% BSA. Viability markers were also used according to manufacturer’s instructions. For intracellular isotypes staining, cells were first stained with surface antibodies then fixed and permeabilized with Cytofix/Cytoperm kit (BD Bioscience). Cells were washed, resuspended in PBS containing 2% FCS and acquired on BD LRS Fortessa cytometer (Beckton Dickinson). In cell sorting experiments, total spleen B cells were first purified with the Pan B Cell Isolation Kit II mouse (Miltenyi) following manufacturer’s instructions then sorted into GL7+PNA+EYFP+ GC or GL7-PNA-EYFP+ memory cells with a FACSAria (Beckton Dickinson). Analyses were performed with FlowJo (Tree Star Inc.) software.

Tracking B Cell Responses in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total splenocytes from AID-Cre-EYFP naive or SRBC-primed donor mice were purified through the use of the Pan B Cell Isolation Kit II mouse (Miltenyi) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Total splenocytes from wt CD45.2 naive or SRBC-primed donor mice were purified through the use of the CD4+ T Cell Isolation Kit mouse (Miltenyi). Where indicated, GC-depleted B cells were obtained by coupling the Germinal Center B Cell (PNA) MicroBead Kit mouse (Miltenyi) and biotin-conjugated GL7 with anti-biotin MicroBeads. IgD-biotin and anti-biotin MicroBeads mediated depletion was used before cell sorting and cell transfer in somatic mutation analysis experiments. 10x106 donor cells were injected intravenously in sterile conditions in 150 µl PBS into wt CD45.1 naive or SRBC-primed mice. Recipient mice were challenged with SRBCs 2h after cell transfer and, where indicated, were fed with tamoxifen one day after. Spleens were harvested and analyzed 5 days after cell transfer.

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.
