Ly 2 microbeads

Manufactured by Miltenyi Biotec

Ly-2 microbeads are a type of magnetic particles used for cell separation techniques in research and clinical applications. They are made of a magnetic core surrounded by a polymer shell. The core function of Ly-2 microbeads is to enable the isolation and enrichment of specific cell populations from complex samples through magnetic separation.

Adoptive Transfer of Antigen-Specific CD8+ T Cells

Donor mice were immunized with either PLP178-191 or control OVA323-339 (ISQAVHAAHAEINEAGR, GenScript, Piscataway, NJ) in CFA. At 15 days post-immunization, splenocytes and inguinal lymphocytes were harvested and as published previously (5 (link), 23 (link)–29 (link)), single cell suspensions were restimulated in vitro with 20μg/mL cognate antigen and 10pg/mL rIL-2 for 72h in complete RPMI (Corning, Tewksbury, MA). CD8 T cells were sorted to above 90% purity using Ly-2 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotech, Auburn, CA), and 5x106 cells were adoptively transferred i.v. into recipient mice at times indicated. For mixed adoptive transfer experiments, CD8 T cells from cultures including equal inputs of bulk day 15-immune IFNγR−/− and IFNγ−/− cells (inguinal lymphocytes and splenocytes) were Ly-2 bead-sorted and transferred at 5x106 per recipient. Unless otherwise specified, “control” groups consist of recipient mice injected i.v. with either PBS alone or OVA-CD8 donor cells, both of which have no effect on disease, as shown in this report and published previously (5 (link), 27 (link), 28 (link)). A 2:1 donor to recipient ratio was used in these experiments.

Adoptive Transfer of CD8 T Cells Mitigates EAE

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were injected i.v. with 107 cfu of recombinant LM. Seven days post-infection, these mice were immunized s.c. with emulsion containing Complete Freud’s Adjuvant supplemented with 200 μg Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (Difco, Detroit, MI) and 50–100 μg PLP178–191 (ChinaPeptides) distributed over two sites on the flank. In all models, 250 ng pertussis toxin was administered i.p. on days 0 and 2 post-immunization. For CD8 T cell transfer, splenocytes were collected on day seven post- LM infection and reactivated with 20 μg/ml cognate antigen and 10 pg/ml recombinant human IL-2 (University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics) for 72 h at 37 °C. CD8 T cells were magnetically isolated using Ly-2 microbeads (Miltenyi) and 107 live cells were transferred to recipient mice i.v. After 24 h, active EAE was induced using PLP178-191/CFA immunization as described above. Clinical signs of EAE were assessed daily, and animals were scored based on previously defined criteria10 (link).

Adoptive Transfer of Antigen-Specific CD8 T Cells

Naïve mice were immunized with 50μg of PLP peptide (either P178 or P139) or OVA323–339 in CFA. At day 14, spleens and inguinal lymph nodes were collected and reactivated in culture with cognate antigens and hIL-2 for 72hr as previously described (4 (link), 7 (link)–11 (link), 18 ). At the end of culture, cells were collected, and CD8 T cells were magnetically isolated using Ly-2 microbeads (Miltenyi) and 10×106 live cells were transferred to recipient mice. Mice received CD8 T cell transfers i.v. prior to disease induction (d-1) or during the acute phase of disease (d11).

Adoptive Transfer of Activated OT-I T Cells

Three days prior to adoptive transfer, spleen and inguinal lymph node from OT-I Tg mouse were crushed and cell suspensions were cultured in T-cell medium (45% RPMI-1640, 45% DMEM, 10% FBS, 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin, 1X 2-mercaptoethanol) with 0.5 μg/mL SIINFEKL and 10 ng/mL IL-2. After 2 days of culture, cell suspension was supplemented with fresh medium, SIINFEKL and IL-2. On day of transfer, CD8+ T cells were enriched from cell suspension using MACS LS column and Ly-2 microbeads (Miltenyi) and suspended in ice-cold sterile 1X PBS. Enrichment was verified (every 5th experiment) to be >90%. 5 million activated T cells were transferred into mice by retro-orbital venous injection (i.v.) on days noted. T cell transfer was supplemented with five rIL-2 injections (20,000 IU per mouse, i.p.) every other day for 10 days.

Lung Transplant Immunomodulation Protocols

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Left orthotopic vascularized lung transplants were performed as previously described (10 (link)). Mice were treated with co-stimulatory blockade consisting of MR1 (250 μg intraperitoneally (i.p.)) and CTLA4-Ig (200 μg i.p.), on days 0 and 2, respectively (Bio X Cell, West Lebanon, NH). Pam3Cys4 was dissolved in distilled water at a concentration of 1 μg/μl and 50 μL were administered into the donor airway just prior to completing the bronchial anastomosis (Invivo Gen, San Diego, CA). In select experiments, LPS (20 μg) was dissolved in 50 μl of phosphate buffered saline and injected into the donor airway before connecting donor and recipient bronchi (Sigma, St. Louis, MO). The concentrations and administration route were based on previous studies examining the impact of Pam3Cys4 and LPS on pulmonary immune responses (12 (link)) (13 (link)) (14 (link)). For select experiments, 10x106 CD8+ T cells (Ly-2 microbeads, Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) (15 (link)) or 3x106 monocytes (Monocyte Isolation Kit, Miltenyi Biotec) (16 (link)), isolated from the spleen or bone marrow, respectively, of naïve B6 WT mice were injected intravenously into B6 TLR2KO recipients at the time of transplantation.

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.
