Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wild-type hiPSCs PC056c2 were derived by Phenocell (Grasse, France) from human primary fibroblasts using Sendai vectors [2 (link)] and cultured with StemMACS iPS-Brew XF medium (Miltenyi Biotec) in vitronectin (Gibco-coated dishes). Culture medium was changed three times a week. Cells were passaged following gentle harvesting with EDTA 0.25 mM (Invitrogen every 5–7 days). For CRISPR/Cas9 editing experiments, hiPSCs were pretreated with a rock inhibitor (Y-27632; Tocris) at least one-hour prior transfection and harvested with an enzymatic treatment (Stempro Accutase cell dissociation reagent; Life technologies). Following amplification of single cell-derived clones, cells were banked using CryoStor CS10 (Sigma-Aldrich).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
FACS-enriched populations of edited cells were seeded at a density of 1 × 104 cells in a 10-cm GFR Matrigel–coated tissue culture plate. After 5–7 d, clones were manually picked with a pipette and transferred into individual wells of 96-well GFR Matrigel–coated tissue culture plates with mTeSR1 supplemented with 1% P/S and 10 µM ROCK inhibitor for 1 d. After 3–4 d of normal maintenance with mTeSR1 supplemented with 1% P/S, colonies were dispersed with Accutase and transferred into a fresh GFR Matrigel–coated 96-well plate. After recovery, the plate was divided into daughter plates for ongoing culture, freezing, and gDNA isolation.
For cryopreservation of clones in a 96-well format, when cells were 60–85% confluent, they were dissociated and pelleted in 96-well V-bottom plates. Cells were then resuspended in 60 µl mTeSR1 supplemented with 1% P/S and 10 µM ROCK inhibitor. Two sister plates were frozen using 30 µl cell suspension per plate, added to 170 µl CryoStor CS10 (Sigma) in non–GFR Matrigel coated 96-well tissue culture plates. Plates were sealed with Parafilm and stored at −80°C.

Whole blood was collected and PBMCs were isolated using Ficoll-Paque density gradient centrifugation (Sigma Aldrich, GE17-1440-03) for cellular profiling of CD8+ T cells. Cells were cryopreserved in Recovery Cell Culture Freezing Medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 12648010). For synovial tissue disaggregation, cryopreserved synovial tissues in Cryostor CS10 (Sigma-Aldrich, C2874-100ML) were obtained from hospital for special surgery. Each synovial tissue specimen was fully thawed at 37 °C and rinsed with RPMI 1640 (Corning Life Science, MT15040CV) containing 10% FBS (ATCC, 30-2020) and 1% glutamine (Gibco, 25030081). The tissue fragments were minced and digested with 100 μg/mL Liberase TL (Roche, 05401020001) and 100 μg/mL DNase I (Roche, 4716728001) in RPMI 1640 for 30 min at 37 °C with inverting to disaggregate the fragments into single cell suspensions. The digested fragments were filtered through a 70 μm cell strainer and washed with cold RPMI 1640 with 10% FBS and 1% glutamine before antibody staining and 10X single cell RNA sequencing.

For this study, patients were recruited and consented through the Accelerating Medicines Partnership (AMP) Network for RA and SLE (Zhang et al. 2022 (link)). Synovial tissue samples and matched peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cryopreserved after collection as described (Donlin et al. 2018 (link)). Stored synovial tissue samples were then thawed and disaggregated into single-cell suspensions by mincing and digesting with 100 μg/mL LiberaseTL (Roche) and 100 μg/mL DNaseI (Roche) in RPMI (Life Technologies) for 15 min, with occasional inversion during disaggregation. Disaggregated cells were passed through a 70 μm cell strainer and washed prior to antibody staining with anti-CD235a antibodies (clone 11E4B-7–6 (KC16), Beckman Coulter) and Fixable Viability Dye eFluor 780 (eBioscience/ThermoFisher). Live non-erythrocyte cells (viability dye- CD235−) were collected by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (BD FACSAria Fusion) and were initially cryopreserved in Cryostor CS10 (Sigma-Aldrich). The disaggregated synovial tissue cells and matched cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells were then thawed in batches, and both T and B cells were collected by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (BD FACSAria II) (Figure S1B, Table S4).

Single-cell suspensions from surgical specimens were obtained using a modified version of a previously published protocol.33 (link) Surgical specimens were collected into 30 mL of cold RPMI with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1 U/mL penicillin-streptomycin. Specimens were finely minced between two scalpel blades and incubated for 15 minutes at 37°C with 600 U/mL collagenase IV (Worthington, Lakewood, NJ) and 20 ug/mL DNAse 1 (Roche, Indianapolis, IN) in RPMI with 10% fetal bovine serum. After 15 minutes, samples were triturated five times using a syringe with a 16G needle and incubated for another 15 minutes. At the conclusion of the second digest period, samples were triturated an additional five times using a syringe with a 16G needle. Samples were typically fully dissociated at this step and were filtered through a 70 μm cell strainer and spun down at 500G for 10 minutes followed by a rinse with ice-cold Ca/Mg free PBS (ThermoFisher, Waltham MA). Red blood cells were lysed using ACK buffer (ThermoFisher) for three minutes on ice to remove red blood cells, even if no red blood cell contamination was visibly seen in order to maintain consistency across patient groups. Some single-cell suspensions were cryopreserved in CryoStor CS10 (Sigma) for batched flow cytometric analyses.

At 24 h post-delivery of CD19 CAR mRNA, cells were cryopreserved in CryoStor CS10 (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA). In vitro cytotoxicity was measured with an impedance assay using the xCELLigence real-time cell analyzer single plate instrument (ACEA Biosciences). Wells of the electronic microtiter plates were coated with 4 µg/mL CD40 (ACEA Biosciences) for 3 h. Raji cells (American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA, USA) were seeded at 5 × 104 cells/well and allowed to adhere overnight. At 19–21 h later, CAR T cells were thawed and added to the Raji cells at E:T ratios of 2.5:1, 1.25:1, 0.6:1 and 0.1:1. Impedance was monitored every 1 min for 4 h, every 5 min for 8 h and then every 15 min for at least 92 h. Cell indexes were normalized to a cell index of the time point when CAR T cells were added and specific lysis was calculated in comparison with control effector cell-only cultures.

CD3+ cells were purified from healthy donors’ Leukopaks received from Hemacare (Northridge, CA, USA). Upon reception, the leukapheresis material was analyzed using the Sysmex pocH-100i Automated Hematology Analyzer (Sysmex, Milton Keynes, UK), diluted with CliniMACS PBS/EDTA buffer (Miltenyi, Bisley, UK), supplemented with 0.5% human AB serum (Seralab, Hayward Heath, UK) and centrifuged at 300 × g for 15 min at room temperature to remove platelets. The CD3+ fraction was purified from the plasma on the CliniMACS Plus instrument (Miltenyi) using the CliniMACS CD4 and CD8 reagents (Miltenyi) anti-CD4 and anti-CD8 monoclonal antibodies conjugated to superparamagnetic iron dextran particles. The viability of the final CD3+ product was assessed using the Vi-CELL XR (Beckman Coulter, High Wycombe, UK) and Nucleocounter NC-200 (ChemoMetec, Allerod, Denmark). The number of CD45+ cells, CD3+ cells, CD4+ cells, and CD8+ cells was evaluated before and after the cell separation on the CliniMACS by flow cytometry on the Fortessa (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). The acceptance criteria for the CD3+ cell purification were set as follows: (1) viability over 95% and (2) number of CD3+ cells over 95%. Following purification, a working cell bank of CD3+ cells was cryopreserved in CryoStor CS10 (Sigma, Gillingham, UK) until use.
