Human t cell nucleofection kit

Manufactured by Lonza
Sourced in United States

The Human T-cell nucleofection kit is a laboratory equipment product designed to facilitate the transfection of genetic material into human T-cells. It provides the necessary components and protocols to efficiently introduce plasmid DNA, mRNA, or other nucleic acids into T-cells using the nucleofection technique.

5 protocols using human t cell nucleofection kit

1

Electroporation of CD3+ T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The electroporation of CD3+ cells was performed with the Amaxa Nucleofector system (Amaxa Human T cell Nucleofection Kit). For that the cells were resuspended in Nucleofector solution with 50 µg/ml of plasmid and treated with program U-14 according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Immediately after that cells were transferred into 500 µl prewarmed media and were additionally washed with fresh media before their culturing.

PKCζ Knockdown in Human CB T-Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PKCζ knockdown in human CB T-cells was carried out essentially as described recently for human macrophages [31 (link)]. Predesigned shRNA specific for PKCζ and non-targeting control shRNA were purchased from Sigma–Aldrich (Castle Hill, NSW, Australia). The human T-cell Nucleofection kit was from Amaxa (Lonza, Wakersville, MD, U.S.A.). Approximately 106 cells were added to 4 μg of non-targeting control shRNA or PKCζ-specific shRNA in cuvettes and the cells were transfected using programme Y-010 according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After transfection, T-cells were cultured for 24 h before harvesting for maturation studies. An aliquot of the cultures was used to confirm the knockdown of PKCζ by Western blot analysis. Cell viability monitored by the Trypan Blue dye exclusion assay was >90%, being consistent with the information provided by the Nucleofection kit.

Procyclic-form (PCF) Lister 427 Trypanosoma bruceibrucei, bloodstream-form (BSF) Lister 427 and single-marker bloodstream-form (SMB) parasites were cultured as previously described (Brun and Schönenberger, 1979 (link); Hirumi and Hirumi, 1989 (link); Wirtz et al., 1999 (link)). For generation and maintenance of lines harbouring selectable markers, antibiotics were used at the following concentrations: G418, 1 μg/ml; puromycin, 0.2 μg/ml; and hygromycin B, 5 μg/ml. COS-7 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 U/ml streptomycin and 2 mM L-glutamine. For transfection of bloodstream-stage parasites, 3×107–4×107 cells were transfected with 10 μg of DNA using an AMAXA nucleofection system and the human T-cell nucleofection kit (Lonza). Monoclonal populations were obtained by limiting dilution. Procyclic-stage parasites were transfected by electroporation with a Bio-Rad Gene Pulser (1.5 kV, 25 μF). COS-7 cells were transfected with Fugene HD according to manufacturer's instructions.

Culturing and Transfecting Trypanosoma brucei

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bloodstream-form Trypanosoma brucei strain Lister 427 parasites were cultured in HMI-9 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Hirumi and Hirumi, 1989 (link)). For RNAi experiments, the tetracycline-responsive single-marker bloodstream-form cell line was maintained under G418 selection (Wirtz et al., 1999 (link)). For trypanosome transfections 3×107–4×107 cells in mid-log phase (1×106 cells/ml) were transfected with 10 µg of DNA using an AMAXA nucleofection system and the human T-cell nucleofection kit (Lonza). Stably transformed clonal cell lines were then selected by limiting dilution in the presence of appropriate antibiotics. Antibiotics used were G418 (2 µg/ml), hygromycin B (5 µg/ml), puromycin (0.2 µg/ml). COS-7 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and transiently transfected with Fugene HD reagent.

DCs were enriched from PBMCs using the Pan-DC enrichment kit (Miltenyi, 130-100-777), and enriched DCs were stained with BV421 anti-human CD11c (BioLegend, 301628, 5 μl per sample), APC Cy7 anti-human HLA-DR (BioLegend, 307618, 5 μl per sample), FITC anti-human CD3 (BD Biosciences, 555232, 10 μl per sample) and PE anti-human CD123 (BD Biosciences, 340545, 5 μl per sample) antibodies. T cells were sorted from the non-DC fraction as CD3+ cells. DCs sorted as CD3CD11c+HLA-DR+CD123 were silenced and 48 h cells were stimulated with LPS (100 ng ml−1) and 10 μg ml−1 of OVA 323-339 (SP-51023-1, Genemed) in the presence of propyzamide (10 μM) or vehicle. After 6 h, cells were washed and co-cultured with allogenic T cells at a 1:10 ratio for 48 h. Cytokines were quantified in the supernatants using the LEGENDplex Th cytokine panel (BioLegend, 741027). CEBPB was silenced on T cells using the Human T cell nucleofection kit (Lonza, VPA-1002) and the Accell Human CEBPB-siRNA smart pool (Dharmacon, E-006423-00-0005). T cells were then activated by plate-bound anti-human CD3 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 16-0037-85) and soluble anti-human CD28 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 16-0289-85) in presence of propyzamide (10 μM) or vehicle.

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.
