Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At the beginning and conclusion of the study, peripheral blood samples were drawn into serum separator tubes (SST). LDL-C levels were quantified using the Cobas 6000 analyzer (Roche Diagnostics, Basel, Switzerland) through enzymatic colorimetric techniques.
For the analysis of PBMCs, we followed procedures based on a previously published article by our group (32 (link)). The study utilized several monoclonal antibodies, including anti-CD4-AF700, anti-CD8-PE, anti-CD8-APC, anti-CD28-APC, anti-CD57-FITC, anti-interferon (IFN)-γ-PE-Cy7, and anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-APC, IL-17A-APC, Granzyme B-PE, perforin-APC, all sourced from eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA. Following permeabilization, cells were stained for intracellular cytokines and cytotoxic molecules using anti-IFN-γ-PE-Cy7 and anti-TNF-α-APC. Multicolor flow cytometry was performed with the BD LSRFortessa flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Data analysis was conducted using FlowJo V10 software (FlowJo, LLC, Ashland, OR, USA). Blood samples with a PBMC viability of 80% or more were used for FACS analysis, with 77 patients meeting this criterion at both baseline and follow-up visits.

PBMCs were incubated with 20 ng/mL phorbol myristate acetate plus 1 μg/mL ionomycin (MultiSciences, China) for 1 h, and then 2 µmol/L monensin was added for the final 4 h. Cells were stained with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies to CD3-PerCP/Cy5.5, CD56-FITC or CD8-FITC (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, United States) at 4 ˚C in the dark. Afterwards, cells were fixed and permeabilized followed by intracellular staining for IFN-γ-PE, TNF-α-PE, IL-2-APC, perforin-APC and granzyme B-PE and isotype matched controls (IL-2-APC from eBioscience, United States; others from Biolegend, CA, United States) at 4 ˚C in the dark. Finally, cells were detected using a Canto II flow cytometer.

CTLs were cultured and pretreated with protein transport inhibitor (PTI) and DMSO for 1 h at 37°C and 5% CO2 before incubating with CFSE‐labeled EG7‐L1 cells for 6 h. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) and permeabilized with saponin (Sigma, 47036) and stained with IL‐2‐PE (1:100, eBioscience, 12‐7021‐82), IFNγ‐PE‐Cy7 (1:100, eBioscience, 25‐7311‐82), perforin–APC (1:100, eBioscience, 17‐9392‐80), or GZMB‐Alexa Fluro (1:100, BioLegend, 515405). Cytokine production was measured by flow cytometric analysis gating on CFSE negative population.

Flow cytometry analysis was performed by using a BD FACSVerse (BD Biosciences). Human TILs were stained with the following monoclonal antibodies: CD45-APC-H7, CD3ε-PerCP, CD8α-V500, CD56-PE-Cy7, CD19-FITC, IFN-γ-FITC, IL-17A-V450 (all from BD Pharmingen, Milan, Italy), IL-21-PE, T-bet-PE-Cy7 (clone 4B10), RORγt-APC (clone AFKJS-9), Foxp3-FITC (clone PCH101), IL-22-APC, IL-6 PerCP (both from eBioscience), CD68-APC (Biolegend, San Diego, CA). Mouse LPMCs and TILs were stained with the following monoclonal antibodies: CD45-APC-Cy7, CD4-PerCP, CD8α-FITC, CD49b-PE (clone DX5), FoxP3-APC, IL-17A-PE, IFN-γ-PE-Cy7 (both from BD Pharmingen), perforin-APC, granzyme B-PE-Cy7 (all from eBioscience). In parallel, cells were stained with the respective control isotype antibodies.

Multiparametric Flow Cytometry of Tregs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For analysis of in vivo experiments, cells were stained with antibodies against human CD45 APC (Invitrogen), CD4 ECD (Beckman Coulter), CD3 Pacific Blue (eBioscience) CD8 PE and CD25 PE-Cy7 (BD) and the viability dye 7-AAD (eBioscience). To analyse expression of Treg-associated markers, freshly sorted or expanded Tregs were stimulated for 15h with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 beads at a ratio of 1 bead to 5 cells, or left untreated. Cells were stained with 7-AAD and antibodies against GITR FITC (R&D Systems), CTLA-4 PE, CD69 APC-Cy7, CD25 PE-Cy7 (BD), TIGIT PE, OX-40 FITC, TIM-3 APC, CD39 PE, FOXP3 eFluor 450, Perforin APC (eBioscience) Helios AlexaFluor 647 (Biolegend), and CD4 ECD (Beckman Coulter). For intracellular antigens (FOXP3, Helios, Perforin, CTLA-4), cells were fixed and permeabilized using a Foxp3 Staining Buffer Set (eBioscience). Samples were acquired using a BD FACSCanto (BD Biosciences) and analyzed using FACSDiva software (BD Biosciences). For staining for BCL-XL and MCL1, Abcam anti-BCL-XL FITC (7B2.5; ab26148) and anti-MCL-1 Alexa Fluor 488 (Y37, ab197529) antibodies were used, respectively, following manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeablized with PBS/0.1% Tween. The cells were then blocked with 10% normal goat serum/0.3 M glycine, followed by incubation with the antibody.

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.
