Sera were assayed for cytokine production by ELISA according to the manufacturers' instructions. The kits utilized were: mIL-10, mIFNγ, mTNFα (BD-Pharmingen, La Jolla, CA). Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) sera levels were determined using a specific colorimetric kit (Wiener Laboratories) and by following the manufacturer's instructions.

Cytokine Profiling in Infected Cells

Proteome profiler array (mouse cytokine array panel A, R&D Biosystems) was used to assay the level of 40 cytokines according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, the capture antibody of cytokines and chemokines were spotted on nitrocellulose membranes. The sample/antibody mixture was incubated and the cytokine-chemokine antibody complex bound to the immobilized capture antibody on the membrane. After adding streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase and chemiluminescent reagents, the signal is proportional to the amount of cytokine bound. For secreted cytokines, supernatants were collected from infected/treated cells at the indicated times. mTNF-α (BD Pharmingen) and mMCP-1 (R&D Biosystems) was measured using an ELISA kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Staining and Quantification of Immune Cells

For the staining of surface proteins, cells were resuspended in FACS buffer (0.1% BSA in PBS) with the respective antibodies and incubated for 30 minutes on ice and in the dark. The following antibodies were used: mCD4 (eBioscience), mCD8 (BD Biosciences), mCD45.1 (eBioscience), mCD45.2, mIFN-γ, mTNF-α (all from BD Biosciences); hCD4 (Thermo Fisher Scientific), hCD8 (Dako). Viability of cells was determined using a live/dead cell marker (LIVE/DEAD Fixable Green Dead Cell Stain Kit, Thermo Fisher Scientific). For intracellular cytokine staining, cells were permeabilized by resuspending them in Cytofix/Cytoperm (BD Biosciences) prior to the antibody staining, following the manufacturer’s instructions. In order to determine the absolute cell count by flow cytometry, CountBright™ Absolute Counting Beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were added to the cell suspension shortly before measurement. If CAR expression was analyzed together with other surface proteins such as CD8, stainings were performed sequentially. The CAR was first stained with an anti-human IgG antibody (Abcam) followed by the staining of the other surface proteins with the respective antibody. The samples were then analyzed on a CytoFLEX S flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter). The obtained data was evaluated with FlowJo 10.4.

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.
