The isolated CD34+ cells were irradiated with 0.5, 1 and 3 Gy of 60Co γ-rays or p(66)/Be(40) neutrons and incubated for 18 and 42 h as previously described, to allow the apoptosis process to occur.

The detection of apoptotic cells was achieved using the Annexin V apoptosis detection kit I (Becton Dickinson (BD) Biosciences, New Jersey, United States). Briefly, the concentrated cell suspension was resuspended in 100 µL annexin buffer and stained with anti-Annexin-FITC and PI. After 15 min incubation in the dark, 400 µL annexin buffer (BD Biosciences) was added.

Cells were stained with fluorochrome-labeled monoclonal antibodies (mAbs): phycoerythrin (PE)/Cy7-conjugated or fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated anti-rat CD4 (OX-35), PE-conjugated anti-rat CD45RC (OX-22), FITC-conjugated anti-rat TCRα/β (R73), and PE-conjugated anti-rat CD25 (OX-39) from Becton Dickson (BD) Bioscience; Brilliant Violet 510-conjugated anti-rat XCR1 (ZET) and allophycocyanin (APC)-conjugated anti-rat CD103 (OX-62) from BioLegend; eFluor 660-conjugated anti-rat CD62L (OX-85) from Thermo Fisher. When needed, surface markers were stained using appropriate mAbs cocktail prior to fixation and permeabilization with FoxP3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Kit according to the manufacturer instructions (eBioscience), using PE-eFluor 610-conjugated anti-FoxP3 (FJK-16 s) from Thermo Fisher. The cells were washed and suspended in PBS-FCS 2%. They were analyzed using a LSRIII Fortessa flow cytometer (BD). Data were analyzed using FlowJo software (TreeStar). A FACSAria instrument (BD) was used for flow cytometry sorting of the CD4 and XCR1+ cDC subsets and the CD4+ CD62Lhigh TCRα/β+ T cells. For death/apoptosis detection, cells were stained with Violet 450 or APC-conjugated Annexin V in 100 μl of Annexin buffer (BD) and propidium iodide (PI) for 20 min at room temperature in the dark according to the manufacturer protocol (BD Biosciences).

After resuspension of MP pellet in Annexin buffer (BD Biosciences), platelet MPs were labeled with MitoStatus-APC (Thermo-Fisher)/Phalloidin (Sigma-Aldrich, Milan, Italy)/CD41-PerCP-Cy5.5 (BD Biosciences)/AnnexV-V500 (BD Biosciences), as reported in the manufacturer’s instructions, and counted by flow cytometry. MPs were gated based on their size, and the scatter properties were analyzed by running Megamix Plus beads (Biocytex, Marseille, France) at the same photomultiplier (PMT) voltages used for MP detection. Phalloidin negative events (of total MPs or MitoStatus positive MPs) were analyzed for CD41 expression. CD41+ events were then evaluated for their positivity to AnnexinV.

Flow cytometrie (FACS) was performed as follows. After cell treatment with high and low-dose Actinomycin-D and Nutlin-3 for 48 hours, cells were washed with PBS, followed by digestion and mechanical dissociation, as previously described.

Subsequently, cells were stained with 7-Actinomycin-D and Annexin V (BD Pharmingen, Heidelberg, Germany), both in a 1:10 dilution (7-AAD, Annexin V, FACS buffer) for 20 minutes at 4°C. Staining reaction was stopped with annexin buffer and for the flow cytometric analysis a BD FACS Canto II machine was applied. For analysis, the software FACSDiva (version 6.1.2; Beckton Dickinson) was used.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The induction of apoptosis and necrosis
of U-87 was measured 4 h after X-ray exposure by flow cytometry. X-ray-exposed
unstained and NT-PEO-Por*-stained U-87 were detached from dishes by
0.25% trypsin–EDTA, centrifuged at 1200 rpm for 5 min, and
resuspended in 100 μL of the annexin buffer (BD) and 5 μL
of Annexin V BV421 (BD), which binds to phosphatidylserin (PS) residues
and allows the identification of apoptotic cells. Cells were incubated
a 4 °C for 20 min, washed in the annexin buffer, and centrifuged.
The viability dye 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD, BD) was added to cell
pellets to stain non-viable cells and recognize late-apoptotic fractions.
For fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) characterization, data
were obtained using a FACSAria Fusion cell sorter, equipped with five
lasers, and analyzed with FACSDiva software (ver. 8.0, BD). At least
10 × 103 events were recorded for each condition.
Debris events were excluded from the analysis by morphological gating
(side scatter vs forward scatter dot plot).

For cell cycle, cells were washed in PBS and incubated in Cytofix/Cytoperm solution (BD Biosciences) at 4 ºC for 30 min. in the dark. After that, cells were washed twice using PermWash buffer solution and incubated in PermWash solution containing 5 μg/mL of Hoechst 33342 (ThermoFisher Scientific) at 4 ºC for 1 hour (h) and 30 min. in the dark. Cycling cells were defined as cells in S + G2/M cell cycle phase. In both cases, cells were analyzed in a FACS AriaIII cytometer (BD Biosciences) at the Cytometry and Fluorescence Microscopy Centre of the UCM. A minimum of 7 (WT), 6 (DPhi), 3 (DPint), 3 (DPlow) mice were used for thymocyte or 6 (WT), 5 (DPhi), 4 (DPint), 3 (DPlow) for TEC analysis.

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.
