GraphPad Prism software (v9) was used when performing statistical analysis and in the creation of graphs. Where the unpaired Student’s t-test was performed for statistical analysis: **** for P<0.0001, *** for P<0.001, ** for P<0.01 and * for P<0.05 were considered statistically significant and were indicated in the related figure legends and graphs. Where n.s. is indicated, the P value is not significant. The results are shown as mean ± standard deviation (SD). CytoFlex software (Beckman Coulter) was used when performing analysis of flow cytometric data. QuPath: Open source software for digital pathology image analysis was used to perform colony quantification [23 (link)]. Empiria Studio® Software (LI-COR) was used to quantify western blot bands and normalise bands to total protein.

Experimental samples had 1 μl of 20 μM stock TMRM (M20036, Thermo Scientific) reagent (20 nM final concentration) added and were incubated for 30 min at 37°C. Cells were washed once in 1 ml of PBS and then re‐suspended in 500 μl of PBS. The cells were analyzed on a CytoFLEX software (Beckman Coulter, USA) with 561‐nm excitation, using emission filters appropriate for R‐phycoerythrin.

Analyzing CAR-T Cell Proliferation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CAR-T cells were pre-labeled with the intracellular fluorescent label carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester. Covalently bound carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester is divided equally between daughter cells, enabling the discrimination of successive cell division rounds. After culturing labeled CAR-T cells with Raji cells at an E/T ratio of 1:2 for 24 hours, samples were analyzed by flow cytometry analysis by staining with APC labeled anti-human CD3 antibody (clone HIT3a, BioLegend). The proliferation assays and carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester-staining were performed in the continuous presence of IL-2.
FITC-labeled anti-human CD4 antibody (clone OKT4, BioLegend) and PerCP-Cyanine5.5-labeled anti-human CD8 antibody (clone SK1, BioLegend) were used to detect CD4+/CD8+ T cells by FLOW CYTOMETRY ANALYSIS.
PE/Cyanine7-labeled anti-human CD45RO antibody (UCHL1, BioLegend) and PE-labeled CD62L antibody (DREG-56, BioLegend) were used to differentiate memory and effector T cell populations; central memory T (TCM) cells were defined as cells expressing CD45RO and CD62L.
Flow cytometry analysis was conducted on a CytoFLEX Cell Analyzer (Beckman Coulter), and data were analyzed using CytoFLEX Software (Beckman Coulter).

Mice liver was harvested and rendered into single cell suspensions, and lymphocytes were isolated and purified by density-gradient centrifugation on Percoll-PBS separation medium (GE Healthcare, Sweden). Then the isolated lymphocytes were washed twice in PBS and conserved in 0.1% BSA. Cells were incubated with CD45-v450 (1 × 107 cells suspension in 100 μL 1% BSA with 10 μL antibody, eBioscience, USA), F4/80-APC (eBioscience), CD11b-FITC (eBioscience) to analyze macrophage. 1 × 106 cells were incubated with CD3-APC-Cyanine7 (eBioscience), CD4-Percp-Cyanine5.5 (eBioscience), CD25-APC (eBioscience) to analyzed Treg. After 30 min antibody incubation at room temperature, protect from light. After two times washing, the cells were fixed with 1 mL of Foxp3 Fixation (eBioscience) working solution for 60 min at room temperature, protect from light. Then cells were washed twice by Permeabilization Buffer (eBioscience), the lymphocytes were incubated with Foxp3-PE (eBioscience) for 40 min at room temperature, protect from light. The lymphocytes were then detected with a CytoFLEX S Flow cytometer (Beckman, USA) and analyzed using CytoFLEX software (Beckman).

At predetermined time
points (24, 72, and 120 h post-treatment), H9C2 and SAOS-2 (at pH
7.4 and 6.0) were trypsinized and incubated with annexin V-fluorescein
isothiocyanate (FITC)/propidium iodide (PI) (Thermo Fisher) for viability,
apoptosis, and cell death assessment by flow cytometry. Briefly, at
each time point, cells were washed with Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered
saline solution without calcium and magnesium and detached using trypsin–ethylenediaminetetraacetate
(0.05%). A total of 100 × 103 cells per tube were
stained with 2.5 μM annexin V-FITC and 1 μg/mL PI in annexin
V binding buffer (1×) for 15 min at 37 °C protected from
light. Cells stained with annexin V-FITC/PI were evaluated using a
Beckman Coulter cytoflex. Live cells (annexin V–/PI−),
apoptotic cells (annexin V+/PI−), and dead cells (PI+) were
analyzed using Cytoflex software (Beckman Coulter). Untreated cells
were used as controls.

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.
