To obtain streptavidin-PE-conjugated tetramer, biotinylated Dd/NP166–174 monomeric protein was purified and tetramerized at an 8:1 molar ratio with streptavidin-PE (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. At day 10 post challenge, each group of mice was sacrificed and tracheotomy was performed. The lungs were perfused with 5 mL of PBS with 10 U/mL heparin (Sigma) using a syringe with a 25-gauge needle. The lung tissues were homogenized with 3 mL of Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM) through 70-µm cell strainers to obtain single-cell suspensions. Centrifugation was conducted afterward, lymphocytes were resuspended in fresh IMDM and washed with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) buffer (0.5% FBS and 0.09% NaN_3 in PBS). After blocking with anti-mouse CD16/CD32 (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), cells were stained with anti-CD8a APC (clone 53-6.7, Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA), anti-CD44 FITC (clone IM7, Biolegend), and Dd/NP(I) tetramer-PE or Dd/NP(V) tetramer-PE. After staining, the cells were washed and fixed with FACS lysing solution for 15 minutes at RT in the dark. Cells were washed with FACS buffer twice and stored at 4℃ in the dark until FACS analysis.

Streptavidin-PE (Life Technologies) was added three times at 30 min intervals to biotinylated H-2Kb or H-2Db monomers to a final molar ratio of 4:1 for monomer:Streptavidin-PE. Tetramers were stored at 4°C and used within 1 month. Tetramers were diluted to 50 µg/ml in DMEM without phenol red (Life Technologies) and supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Hyclone, South Logan, UT, USA), 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA), 1% GlutaMAX (Gibco), and 0.1% NaN3 (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). The solution was deposited in a 96-well plate (V-bottom, 110 µl per well), and index peptide was added (2 µl of 10 mM peptide per well). The plate was placed on ice and irradiated for 30 min in a CL-100 UV Crosslinker (UVP, Upland, CA, USA) equipped with 365 nm UV-lamps at a ≈10–20 cm distance. After 1 h of incubation at 37°C, the plate was centrifuged (3,000 × g) for 20 min, and 50 µl of the supernatant was transferred into new 96-well plate and used for cell surface staining (see Tetramer Staining and Flow Cytometry).

ACE2 expressing 293T cells were a gift from Michael Farzan (Scripps Florida) and Nir Hacohen (Broad Institute) (6 ) and were incubated with 200 nM of RBD antigen in PBS for 1hr on ice. Cells were resuspended in 50μL of secondary stain containing streptavidin-PE (Invitrogen) at a 1:200 dilution and incubated for 30 min on ice. Cell binding was analyzed by flow cytometry using a Stratedigm S1300Exi Flow Cytometer equipped with a 96 well plate high throughput sampler. Resulting data were analyzed using FlowJo (10.7.1).

H-2Ks tetramers were generated as previously described [17 (link)]. Briefly, H-2Ks and the human β2-microglobulin gene were subcloned into the pET28 bacterial expression vector. BL21/DE3 competent cells were transformed and protein expression was induced with IPTG for 4–5 h. Inclusion bodies were purified and refolded in the presence of peptides. The soluble monomeric form of the peptide-MHC complex was biotinylated with BirA at room temperature and tetramerized with streptavidin-PE (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA).

Biotinylated SARS‐CoV‐2 and SARS‐CoV RBDs were produced by co‐transfection of Avi/His‐tagged RBD expression plasmids with an expression plasmid encoding BirA enzyme. RBD proteins were purified from transiently‐transfected Freestyle 293F cell (Gibco) supernatants by nickel affinity and size‐exclusion chromatography. To prepare fluorochrome‐conjugated streptavidin‐tetramerized RBDs, biotinylated SARS‐CoV‐2, and SARS‐CoV RBDs were incubated with streptavidin‐A488 (Invitrogen) and streptavidin‐PE (Invitrogen), respectively, overnight at 4 °C at a 1:4 molar ratios of RBD to streptavidin subunit. For analysis of RBD‐specific B cells, the 1 × 106 cells in the draining lymph nodes were stained at 4 °C for 1 h with 6 µg SARS‐RBD‐A488, 4 µg SARS‐2‐RBD‐PE, and the following antibodies the viability maker (FVS 440), anti‐CD45‐APC‐Cy7, anti‐CD19‐PE‐Cy7, anti‐CD38‐BV605, anti‐GL7‐BV421 at 4 °C for 15 min to acquire the stained cells.

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.
