PBMC were labeled with CFSE dye (Invitrogen) as described [30 (link)]. Briefly, cells were incubated with 5μM CFSE (in PBS containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS)) at 37°C for 5 min and washed three times with ice-cold PBS-5% FBS. 2x105 CFSE-labeled PBMCs/well of a 96-well plate were cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI)1640 media supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 1mM Sodium pyruvate and 0.05mM 2-Mercaptoethanol in the presence of decreasing doses of anti-CD3 antibody (ref 555337, BD Pharmigen). PBMC were harvested after 2 and 5 days of culture and stained with anti-CD4-APC and anti-CD8-PE antibodies (eBiosciences) for subsequent analysis by flow cytometry (Fortessa, Becton Dickinson). Percentages of proliferating cells were analyzed by FlowJo software.

All samples from individual subjects were tested simultaneously on blinded samples. For NKT measurements, ten ml of heparinized peripheral blood were collected before and 24 hours following each treatment, and at day 56 (end of study). PBMCs were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation and cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen until use. For staining, 1×106 PBMCs were incubated with α-GalCer or vehicle loaded CD1d-tetramers (ProImmune, UK) for 30 min at 4°C, then with anti-CD3 antibody (Becton–Dickinson Biosciences) for 30 min at 4 °C. Analysis was performed on a FACSCanto using CELLQuest software (BD Biosciences).
Cytokine was measured before, 4 and 24h after the first and second injections and at the end of study using a multiplex electrochemiluminescense assay according to the manufacturer’s instructions (MSD) and analyzed using the Discovery Workbench MSD software.

CD4+ T lymphocytes were isolated from frozen PBMC using the EasySep™ Human CD4+ T Cell Isolation Kit (Stem Cell Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada). CD4+ cells were resuspended at a concentration of 1 × 106 cells/mL in X-VIVO 20 serum-free medium (Lonza Group Ltd., Basel, Switzerland) supplemented with 1% penicillin/streptomycin. CD4+ cells (500,000 cells/well) were incubated in 48-well plates previously coated with an anti-CD3 antibody (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) with or without a CD28 antibody (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), which induces cell activation. After 6 h of incubation at 37 °C with 5% CO2, the supernatant and cell pellets were collected for further analysis. The cytokines IL-17, IL-22, TNF-α, TFG-β, and IL-1β were measured in the culture supernatant by DuoSet® ELISA Kits (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA). For the IL-13 measurement, a human IL-13 ELISA kit was used (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher, USA). IL-21 interleukin was measured in the cell pellet by western blot.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lymphocytes and DCs separated from cervical tissues were labeled with anti-CD3 antibody (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) and anti-CD11c antibody (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Lymphocytes (CD3+) and DCs (CD11c+) were separated using MACS system (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). The density of cells was adjusted to 1 × 106 cells/mL using RPMI-1640 medium. Then, 100 μL cell suspension was added into 96-well culture plates (1 × 105 cells/well) for cultivation of 72 h. To block PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, anti-PD-L1 antibody (final concentration of 2 μg/mL) was added before incubation for 72 h. The cells were divided into normal control group, control + anti-PD-L1 antibody group, CIN group, CIN + anti-PD-L1 antibody group, cervical cancer group, and cervical cancer + anti-PD-L1 antibody group. Stimulator ConA was added into the medium (final concentration of 3 μg/mL), followed by incubation at 37°C in 5% CO2 for 72 h. MTT assay was performed to analyze lymphocyte proliferation. Culture supernatants from each group were subjected to CBA assay for the determination of IL-10 and TGF-β levels.

The effect of EphB2-Exos on CD4 + T lymphocytes in vitro was investigated by co-culturing CD4 + T lymphocytes and exosomes. A 96-well at-bottomed plate was pre-coated with anti-CD3 antibody (5 µg/mL, BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) and anti-CD28 antibody (10 µg/mL, BD Biosciences) overnight at 4°C to activate the CD4 + T lymphocytes. Subsequently, CD4 + T lymphocytes were added to the plate, which was washed twice with PBS. After 4 h, exosomes or EphB2-Exos were added, whereas CD4 + T lymphocytes were untreated (negative controls). The cells were maintained at 37°C for 3 days in a humidi ed incubator with 5% CO 2 . After 72 h of incubation, the CD4 + T lymphocytes were stained with PE-Cy7-anti-CD4 antibody (BD Biosciences), eFluor450-anti-IL-17A antibody (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA), PE-anti-Foxp3 antibody (eBioscience), or APC-anti-IFN-γ antibody (BD Biosciences).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Murine anti-ITGB4 monoclonal antibody (Invitrogen) and anti-CD3 antibody (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) were coupled by Dr. Lawrence G. Lum Lab (University of Virginia) to produce murine anti-CD3/anti-ITGB4 BiAbs (mITGB4 BiAb). In order to induce 4T1 TDLN, 1 × 106 4T1 or 4T1-Luc tumor cells in 0.1 ml PBS were injected subcutaneously (s.c.) into the lower flanks of immunocompetent Balb/c mice. To induce SCC7 TDLN, 1 × 106 SCC7 tumor cells in 0.1 ml PBS were injected (s.c.) into the lower flanks of immunocompetent C3H mice. We used the same method to induce CT26 TDLN in Balb/c mice. Nine days after cells inoculation of the tumor cells, the TDLNs were harvested, and single-cell suspensions were prepared mechanically (38 (link)). TDLN cells were activated with anti-CD3 mAb and anti-CD28 mAb immobilized 6-well tissue culture plates for 2 days and expanded in CM containing 200 ng/ml of human rIL-2 (Pepro Tech Inc., Rocky Hill, NJ) for 3 days to generate activated/expended TDLN T cells. 1 × 106 activated TDLN T cells were incubated with 50 ng of mITGB4 BiAb for 1 h at 4 °C to generate murine ITGB4 BiAb-armed TDLN T cells (TDLN T-mITGB4 BiAb) (39 (link)).

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.
