To assess EV internalization by IECs, MSC membranes were stained with 2×10−6 M of PKH26 PKH26 Red Fluorescent dye (Sigma-Aldrich) according to manufacturer’s recommendations. Then, PKH26-labeled or -unlabeled MSCs were cultured in presence of IECs and EV uptake was assessed after 1, 2 or 4 days. At the end of co-culture, cells were detached by trypsin and stained with the following monoclonal antibodies: CD45-Vioblue (Miltenyi Biotec), CD3-V500 (BD Biosciences), CD4-APC-Vio770, CD8-FITC, CD14-FITC (Miltenyi Biotec), CD16-PercP-Cy5, CD19-PE-Cy7 (BD Biosciences) to identify the different IEC population, while TOPRO-3 was used to identify viable cells. The internalization of MSC-derived EVs by IECs was analyzed by FACS analysis.
To further confirm the transfer of EVs into IECs, cells were analyzed at the end of co-culture by confocal microscopy. Briefly, cells were detached by trypsin and stained with Viobright-FITC anti-human CD45 monoclonal antibody (Miltenyi Biotec). Then, cells were fixed using Cytofix/Cytoperm kit (BD Biosciences) and TOPRO-3 (Invitrogen Life Technologies) was used to reveal nuclei. Finally, cells were loaded into the CytoSpin centrifuge’s sample chamber and centrifuged 5 minutes at 400 rpm.
Images were obtained by LSM 710 confocal microscopy (Zeiss) at 63x magnification and elaborated with ZEN imaging software (Zeiss).

Following respirometry, cell suspensions were centrifuged and PBMC were resuspended in cell separation buffer (PBS, 0.5% bovine serum albumin, 2 mM EDTA; Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch-Gladbach, Germany) for the separation of T cell subsets. Appropriate volumes of antibodies (CD4-APC [10 µl/107 cells], CD8-FITC [10 µl/107 cells], CD45RA-PE [5 µl/107 cells], CD3-PE-Vio770 [5 µl/107 cells], all purchased from Miltenyi Biotec) were added and cells were stained according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Naïve T helper cells (CD3+CD4+CD45RA+), memory T helper cells (CD3+CD4+CD45RA), naïve cytotoxic T cells (CD3+CD8+CD45RA+), and memory cytotoxic T cells (CD3+CD8+CD45RA) were then isolated by fluorescent-activated cell sorting on a BD FACSAria III cell sorter (BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany). Propidium iodide staining was used to distinguish dead from living cells.

PBMC were collected and aliquoted in 1 × 106 cells/mL RPMI medium plus 10% Fetal Bovine Serum and then washed by centrifugation. The following anti-human monoclonal antibodies were added: CD3-PerCP, CD4+-APC-Vio770, CD8+-FITC, CD4+ 5RO-PEVio770, CD27-VioBlue, CD38-APC, (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Samples were acquired by Miltenyi Biotec flow cytometer-MACSQuant Analyzer (8 fluorescence channels, 3 lasers). Gating and data analysis were performed using MACSQuantify software 2.5 (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany).

Mouse T Cell Absolute Counts from Mandibular Vein

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
T cell absolute count was performed on blood samples kept from the mandibular vein of the mouse.
For the phenotypic characterization of cell populations, the following antibodies were used: CD8-FITC (Miltenyi Biotec), CD25-APC (Pharmingen), CD3-PE-Vio770 (Miltenyi Biotec), CD4-APC-Vio770 (Milteny Biotec), CD45R (B220)-Violblu (Milteny Biotec), NK1.1-PE (Milteny Biotec).
At predetermined optimal concentrations, 100 μl of blood was stained by incubation with the antibodies. Fifty microliters of CountBright Absolute Counting Beads (Molecular Probes) was added, and, following lysis of red blood cells, cells were acquired on a CyAn Cytometer (Beckman Coulter). By comparing the ratio of bead events to cell events, absolute numbers of cells in the sample were calculated.
Some experiments were performed by acquiring the stained blood samples on the CytoFLEX cytometer (Coulter), equipped with a volumetric sample injection module, which enables volumetric sampling and provides absolute cell counts for all samples without the use of beads.

T-cells generated from different culture vessels were transferred into a 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube, centrifuged at 300×g for 10 min at room temperature. Cell pellet was resuspended in 100 µL of fluorophore solution and incubated in the dark for 20 min. The samples were washed repeatedly before resuspending in a final volume of 250 µL. MACSQuant Analyser 10 (Miltenyi Biotec) was used to acquire the data and MACSQuantify Software 2.11 (Miltenyi Biotec) was used for analyses. Antibodies used in analyses: Viobility 405/520 Fixable Dye (130-109-814), CD3-VioBlue (130-113-133), CD19-PE (130-113-646), CD56-PE-Vio770 (120-113-313), CD4-APC-Vio770 (130-113-251) and CD8-FITC (130-110-677) (Miltenyi Biotec).

Immunophenotypic analysis of T cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral blood samples were collected in tubes containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and Lyse/Wash Procedure was applied; lymphocytes T cells enumeration and activation were evaluated by the following anti-human monoclonal antibodies: CD3 VioBlue, CD 4 APC-Vio770, CD8 FITC, CD38 APC and HLA-DRPE (MiltenyiBiotec). 5-color flow cytometric analysis was performed with the MiltenyiBiotec flow citometer-MACSQuantAnalyzer (8 fluoresces, 3 lasers). Gating analysis was developed with MACSQuantify software 2.5 (MiltenyiBiotec) with the same gating strategy applied to all samples. We tested specificity for the expression of CD38 and HLA-DR markers, by using Fluorescence Minus One method (FMO): each cell population was stained with all the fluorescence antibodies, except one, at a time, in order to verify whether in the absence of one antibody, the labelled cells were negative for the removed one; this method allows the subset to be gated and the background level for the subset to be determined.

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.
