Female BALB/cCrSlc mice (seven weeks of age) were administrated with PBS (vehicle) or liposomes (400 nmol/mouse) intranasally. Six hours after administration, single cells from nasal tissues were isolated by mechanical dissociation using stainless-steel mesh, followed by passing through 70 µm nylon mesh. The isolated cells were then treated with Red Blood Cell (RBC) lysing buffer (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) to lyse red blood cells. After washing the cells with PBS, dead cells in the preparation were stained with 7-amino-actinomycin D (7-AAD) viability staining solution (BioLegend), according to the manufacturer protocol, and then analyzed using a FACSCanto instrument (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA).

Memory T Cell-Epithelial Interaction Assay

Primary human keratinocytes and fibroblasts were cultured to confluence in 96-well flat-bottomed plates. T cells from the three sorted memory subtypes were stimulated with αCD3/CD2/CD28 T cell activation beads (Miltenyi Biotec, San Diego, CA) at a 1:10 ratio for 24 hr. Stimulated memory T cells from each subtype were added to designated wells of confluent layers of keratinocytes, fibroblasts, or tissue culture wells without keratinocytes or fibroblasts (plastic) in Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium supplemented with 10% FBS and L-glutamine. At indicated time points, T cells were collected and immunostained with directly conjugated anti-human monoclonal antibodies from BioLegend and Life Technologies. Acquisition of flow cytometry samples was performed on a FACS Canto instrument and data were analyzed using FACS Diva software V8.0 (BD Biosciences).

Immunophenotyping of Peripheral Blood Cells

To determine percentages and numbers of T cells (CD3+CD19-), B cells (CD3-CD19+), CD4+ T cells (CD3+CD4+), CD8+ T cells (CD3+CD8+), and natural killer (NK) cells (CD3-CD16+CD56+), peripheral blood samples (2 mL) from each subject were collected. For immunofluorescence staining, 50 µL of each blood samples were placed in TruCount tubes A nd B. Then, 20 µL of CD3-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)/CD8-phycoerythrin (PE)/CD45-peridinin-chlorophyll protein (PerCP)/CD4-allophycocyanin (APC) antibodies (clones SK7/SK1/2D1/SK3, respectively) were added to tube A and 20 µL of CD3-FITC/CD16 + 56-PE/CD45-PerCP/CD19-APC antibodies (clones SK7/B73.1 NCAM16.2/2D1/SJ25C1, respectively) were added to tube B. All antibodies were purchased from BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA, USA). After incubation at room temperature for 20 minutes in the dark, stained cells were washed with 1× FACS buffer and then incubated for 15 minutes in the dark. Data on 15,000 cells were acquired on a FACSCanto instrument (BD Bioscience) and analyzed using MultiSET software.

Vi Antigen Expression on Salmonella

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Salmonella were grown to an OD600 of 0.5 in LB broth. Bacteria were washed twice and resuspended in PBS. Mouse anti-Vi antiserum from the Sclavo Behring Vaccines Institute of Global Health (SBVGH, formerly Novartis Vaccines Institute of Global Health) was added to the Salmonella at a final concentration of 1:800. Samples were incubated on ice for 1 hour followed by washing with PBS. Allophycocyanin-conjugated rabbit anti-mouse IgG (Sigma) was added at a final concentration of 1:800 and samples incubated for 1 h, washed, and resuspended in PBS/1% formaldehyde. Samples were analyzed by flow cytometry using a FACSCanto instrument (BD Biosciences) and FlowJo software (Tree Star, Inc). Salmonella were identified based on forward and side scatter characteristics and the level of Vi expression determined as the GMFI in the FL4 channel.

Cell death was assessed by phosphatidylserine externalization. Cell lines were stained with fluorescein-conjugated annexin V (BD Biosciences) and propidium iodide and analyzed on a BD FACSCalibur flow cytometer. Raw data were analyzed using the CellQuest Version 5.2.1 software. Results were normalized to survival of untreated cells. Flow cytometric immunophenotyping using fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibodies against ZAP70 and CD38 was performed at the Cleveland Clinic as part of diagnostic evaluation on a FACSCanto instrument (BD Biosciences). Staining protocols were standard lyses/washing protocols, as previously described [11 (link)].

Monocyte MR Expression in Alcoholic Hepatitis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To investigate whether peripheral monocytes express MR and therefore could be a source of sMR, we studied the MR expression using flow cytometry. 20 patients with AH, 10 patients with AC, and 10 HCs was studied. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque (GE Healthcare Bio-sciences, Uppsala, Sweden) from EDTA whole blood samples. Samples were stored at -140°C until en bloc analyses. Cells were thawed in PBS containing 20% heat-inactivated pooled human AB-serum and blocked with 10 μl heat-inactivated mouse serum (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, California, USA) before staining with optimized amounts of fluorescent-conjugated antibodies; CD14-APC (clone MFP9; BD Bioscience, San Diego, CA), CD206-FITC (clone 19.2; BD Bioscience, San Diego, CA). Relevant isotype controls were included. The samples were analysed within 24 hours of preparation using a FACSCanto instrument (BD Bioscience). Data analyses were carried out using FlowJo v10.1 (Tree Star Inc., Ashland, OR). We report the relative fluorescent intensity (MFI) of sMR on the CD14+ monocytes.

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.
