Generating AFP-specific TCR-T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Production of AFP-specific TCR-T cells is similar to that described previously [33 (link)]. In brief, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from healthy donors by density gradient centrifugation with Ficoll-hypaque. T cells were purified with T cell isolation kit (STEMCELL Technologies, Cambridge, MA) and stimulated with CD3/CD28 tetrameric antibody complex (STEMCELL Technologies, Cambridge, MA) for 24 h. Activated T cells were transduced with lentiviral particles containing the TCR gene. After 48 h, the expression of TCR was measured by flow cytometry and CD3/CD28 antibody complex was rinsed away. For TCR-T cells culture, RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS and 50 IU/mL of interleukin-2 (IL-2) (Quanqi, Shandong, China) was refreshed every other day.

Murine CD3+T cells were sorted from splenocytes of C57BL/6 mice, and human CD3+T cells were sorted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of healthy individuals using a T Cell Isolation Kit, according to the manufacturer’s protocol (StemCell Technologies, Vancouver, Canada). For T cell activation, plates were coated with 2 mg/ml anti-CD3 and 0.4 mg/ml anti-CD28 Abs (BioLegend, San Diego, CA) overnight. Activated T cells were cultured with various concentrations of mouse or human rIL-39 protein for 72 h. Equal amounts of protein were subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. After blocking with 3% BSA, the membrane was incubated with primary antibodies, including STAT1 (D1K9Y), Phospho-STAT1 (58D6), STAT3 (D3Z2G), Phospho-STAT3 (D3A7), and GAPDH (D4C6R) (CST, USA) at 4 °C overnight, followed by incubation with secondary antibodies (Absin, China) at room temperature for 2 h. All results were normalized to GAPDH expression, which was used as the loading control.

Human PBMCs were isolated from healthy donors using a buffy coat (Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center, Houston, Texas, USA) by Ficoll gradient centrifugation. T-cells were isolated from PBMCs by negative selection using a T-cell isolation kit (#17951, Stemcell Technologies, California, USA). DCs were derived from PBMCs by culturing with 20 ng/mL hGM-CSF (#300-03, PeproTech, USA) and 20 ng/mL hIL-4 (#200-04, PeproTech) for 7 days.

Syngeneic immature DC and NK cells or nicDC and nicNK cells (1×105 DC: 2×105 NK/well) exposed to Alum or TLR agonists for 8 hrs were subsequently co-cultured in 48-well plates (Falcon, Franklin Lakes, NJ) at a 1:10 ratio with CFSE labeled allogeneic naïve T cells isolated from PBMC using T cell isolation kit (StemCell Technologies, Vancouver, Canada). On day 5, the proliferating cells were transferred into new plates and rested in IL-2-containing medium (5 ng/ml) up to 10 days. The cells were subsequently collected and stained with CD4 (L200), CD8 (SK1), and CCR7 (3D12) (primary co-cultures). The remaining T cells were transferred to plates pre-coated with 10 μg/ml mAbs CD3 (UCHT1) and 2 μg/ml soluble CD28 (CD28.2) (BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA) for 72 hrs. The T cells were then stimulated for 4–6 hrs with leukocyte activation cocktail (BD Biosciences) containing Brefeldin A before staining with CD4 (L200), CD8 (SK1), CCR7 (3D12), and intracellular IFN-γ (4S.B3) (BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA) (secondary co-cultures). The frequency and amount of IFN-γ were further analyzed using Flow Cytometry and ELISA.

Isolation and Characterization of Human PBMCs

Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (Lonza Cat #4W-270C) were thawed rapidly in a 37°C water bath until a small bit of ice was left in the vial. Thawed cells were added dropwise to EasySepTM buffer (Stem Cell Technologies Cat #20144). The cells were centrifuged at 300 RCF for 5 min at room temperature (RT). The supernatant was discarded and the cells were reconstituted in 50 mL of EasySepTM buffer. Cell concentration and viability were evaluated using the NucleoCounter NC-200 (Chemometec, Denmark). The cells were centrifuged again at 300 RCF for 5 min at RT. The supernatant was discarded and the cells were reconstituted at 50 x 106 cells/mL in X-VIVOTM 15 Serum-free Hematopoietic Cell Medium (Lonza Cat #04-418Q). A sample was aliquoted for immune-phenotype staining. T cells were isolated using a T cell isolation kit (Stem Cell Technologies Cat #17951) by following the manufacturer's protocol. Post-T cell isolation, cell concentration, and viability were evaluated using the NucleoCounter NC-200 (Chemometec, Denmark), and a sample was aliquoted for immune-phenotype staining.

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.
