Five milliliters of CSF were obtained by lumbar spinal tap and centrifuged at 550g at 4°C for 5 minutes. The supernatant was removed, and the pellet was resuspended and incubated at 4°C for 20 minutes with fluorochrome-labeled antibodies against CD4, CD8, CD20, CD25, C-C chemokine receptor type 6 (CCR6), HLA-DR, CD14, and CD45 (BD Pharmingen Mouse Anti-Human Antibodies: CD4 PerCP, CD8 FITC, CD 20 Alexa Fluor 700, CD25 PE-Cy7, CD196 (CCR6) PE, Anti-HLA-DR V450, and CD14 APC; eBioscience mouse Anti-Human Antibody: CD45 EF 605). Cells were washed and resuspended in 200 μL of fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) buffer before FACS analysis on a FACSCanto-II. Analysis of cell subset counts was performed with FlowJo. All CSF and serum tests were performed with researchers blinded to the clinical diagnosis and MRI results. CSF samples were measured by flow cytometry in a time frame of 90 minutes after lumbar spinal tab. CSF supernatants were stored in polypropylene tubes at −80°C until batched analysis of NfL and CHI3L1 concentrations.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated by means of density gradient centrifugation (Ficoll-Paque Plus; GE Healthcare) from peripheral blood. These cells were then stained using CD3-APC (eBioscience clone OKT3), CD14-APC (eBioscience, clone 61D3), CD16-APC (eBioscience clone CB16), CD19-APC-Cy7 (BD Biosciences clone SJ25C1), CD27-PE (BD Pharmingen clone M-T271), CD38-Violet 421 (BD Biosciences clone HIT2), IgM-PE-Cy5 (BD Pharmingen clone G20-127), and AF488- Ara h 2 multimer. Normalization of AF488 was performed using Quantum Alexa Fluor 488 Molecules of Equivalent Soluble Fluorochrome (MESF) Beads (Bangs Laboratories, Inc). Flow cytometry was performed with an LSR II instrument (BD Biosciences). Data were analyzed using FlowJo 8.8.7 software (TreeStar). Experimental data was excluded from those samples which failed to meet quality control criteria; for example, samples with high background in the negative control (stained with the entire panel except for the Ara h 2 multimer) defined as >50 events per million CD19+ cells in the gate for multimer-positive cells were excluded (1.4% of 140 samples).

Pioglitazone Modulates Myelin Phagocytosis in Monocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Monocytes were incubated with 1 μmol/L pioglitazone or dimethyl sulfoxide/phosphate buffered saline (DMSO/PBS) for 1 h at 37°C. Cells were stained with CD14‐APC (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, 17‐0149, 1:500) for 10 min at 37°C. Cells were resuspended in warm X‐vivo (Lonza). 10 μg/mL pHrodo‐labeled myelin was added to phagocytosing groups for 20 min at 37°C. Cold FACS buffer was then added and cells were analyzed immediately on a BD‐LSR II flow cytometer using BD‐FACSDiva 6.1 software (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ). Gating for myelin was based on non‐phagocytosing controls and expression of surface markers was based on comparison of mean fluorescence intensity (MFI). Phagocytosis index = (FITC+ fluorescence in treated groups)/(FITC+ fluorescence in nonphagocytosing controls).

PBMCs were stained with CD3-APC, CD19-APC, CD56-PE, and CD14-APC antibodies (eBioscience, State of California, USA) at 4°C for 30 minutes [28 (link)]. Isotype controls with irrelevant specificities were included as negative controls. Human TruStain FcX™ (Fc Receptor Blocking Solution, Biolegend, San Diego, California, USA) was used to block Fc-receptors. Cells were washed three times with sterilized phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). CD3+ T cells, CD19+ B cells, CD3CD56+ NK cells, and CD14+ monocytes were gated and isolated with a MoFlo XDP high-speed flow cytometry sorter (Beckman, Brea, California, USA).

Pluripotency analysis was performed with the BD Stemflow™ Human and Mouse Pluripotent Stem Cell Analysis Kit (BD Biosciences Oxford, UK). Specific surface markers were assessed with fluorochrome-labelled specific antibodies after blocking Fc non-specific interactions by incubation with an anti-CD16/32 antibody for 10–15 minutes. Parameters for analysis were set with unlabelled cells and gating with isotype controls for the appropriate fluorochromes.

PBMCs were isolated by density-gradient centrifugation (Ficoll-Paque Plus, GE Healthcare) and cryopreserved in FBS with 10% DMSO. After the study outcomes were assessed, PBMCs (10 × 106 to 25 × 106 cells per sample) were thawed and washed with PBS. Ara h 2–specific B cells were selected by flow cytometry using a fluorescent natural Ara h 2–Alexa Fluor 488 multimer, as previously described (7 (link)), using CD3-APC (eBioscience, clone OKT3), CD14-APC (eBioscience, clone 61D3), CD16-APC (eBioscience, clone CB16), CD19-APC-Cy7 (BD Biosciences, clone SJ25C1), CD27-PE (BD Pharmingen, clone M-T271), CD38–Violet 421 (BD Biosciences, clone HIT2), and IgM-PE-Cy5 (BD Pharmingen, clone G20-127). Single Ara h 2–specific B cells, identified as Ara h 2+CD3CD14CD16CD19+CD27+ B cells, were index sorted into individual wells in a 96-well plate by FACS (Aria II or Fortessa, BD Biosciences) and stored at –80°C for single-cell B cell receptor (BCR) amplification. Data were analyzed using FlowJo software, version 8.8.7 (Tree Star).

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.
