Thawed PBMCs were stained with Aqua Vital Dye (Invitrogen), IgD-PE (clone IA6-2; BD Biosciences), CD10 PE-CF594 (clone HI10a; BD Biosciences; CD3 PE-Cy5 (clone HIT3a; BD Biosciences), CD14 BV605 (clone M5E2; BD Biolegend), CD16 BV570 (clone 3G8; Biolegend), CD27 PE-Cy7 (clone O323; Thermo Fisher Scientific), CD38 APC-AF700 (clone LS198-4-3; Beckman Coulter), CD19 APC-Cy7 (clone SJ25C1; BD Biosciences) and 1 x 106 PFU of freshly thawed UV-inactivated ZIKV labelled with AF488. Additionally, 5 μM of Chk2 kinase inhibitor II (Calbiochem/EMD Chemicals) was added to prevent cell death. Unfractionated B cells were defined as CD14/CD16/CD3/CD19+. For memory B cells an additional IgD/CD27all gate was applied. The ZIKV-reactive AF488 gate was set using a fluorescence minus one condition. Cells were sorted on a Beckton Dickinson FACS Aria II and analysis was performed in FlowJo.

Characterizing Macaque B and T Cell Subsets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Macaque PBMCs were stained by a panel of markers, including CD38, Bcl-6, CD1c, CD69, CD21, Ki67, IgG, IgM, CD3/CD14/CD16, CD27, and CD20 to discriminate various B cell subsets. B cells (AquaVital dye, CD14, CD16, CD3, CD20+) stained with both AlexaFluor 647 and Brilliant Violet 421-tagged HIV-1 CH505 T/F gp120 proteins or CH505 T/F stabilized SOSIP proteins were defined as gp120-specific or SOSIP-specific B cells. For the T cell subsets, a panel of markers including ICOS, CCR6, Bcl-6, CD183, CD69, CD185, Foxp3, Ki-67, CD3, PD-1, CD8a, CCR7, CD25, CD4 and CD45RA was used. Aqua Vital Dye was used to distinguish live from dead cells (Invitrogen).

Characterizing cervical tissue-resident memory T cells

Cervical tissue from healthy donors was obtained and digested, and the resulting cell suspension was stained for viability with Aqua vital dye (Invitrogen) and the following antibodies: CD69-FiTC (FN50 dilution 1/20, cat. no. 557049), CD45-PE (HI30, dilution 1/100, cat. no. 560975), CD3-PerCP (SK7, dilution 1/10, cat. no. 345766), CD19-V500 (HIB19, dilution 1/50, cat. no. 561121), PD1-BV421 (EH12.1, dilution 1/20, cat. no. 562516) (all from BD Biosciences), CD4-APC (OKT4 BioLegend, dilution 1/80, cat. no. 300514). AquaCD19CD45+ CD3+ CD4+ T cells were acquired in a BD FACSAriaTM II Cell Sorter and separated according to their CD69 expression into CD69+ (TRM) and CD69 (non-TRM). Sorted cells were then infected with 3655 TCID50 of the viral stock HIV-1BaL for 4 h at 37 °C or with medium in control conditions, washed with PBS and cultured in a 96-wells plate. After three days, cells were stained for viability with Live/Dead Fixable Far Red (Invitrogen), CD69-FiTC (FN50 dilution 1/20, cat. no. 557049) and HLA-DR-PerCP-Cy5.5 (G46-6, dilution 1/100, cat. no. 560652), before staining for p24 as described above. Fixed cells were finally acquired in a BD FACS Calibur flow cytometer and analyzed with FlowJo vX.0.7 software (TreeStar).

Blood samples (~500μl) were immediately lysed, washed, suspended in PBS and incubated with Aqua vital dye to distinguish live from dead cells (Invitrogen, Burlington, ON, Canada). Following two more washes, cells were suspended in washing and staining buffer (1% bovine serum albumin-PBS) and incubated for 20 minutes with the following cocktail of pre-titrated anti-mouse antibodies: CD3-Vioblue (145-2C11), CD4-APC-H7 (GK1.5), CD62L-PE (MEL-14-H2.100) (Miltenyi Biotec), CD44-Brilliant Violet 570 (IM7; BioLegend, San Diego, CA), CD11c-PE-Cy7 (HL3; BD Biosciences) and CCR5-FITC (CTC5), CXCR6-PerCP (221002) and CCR2-APC (475301) (R&D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, MN). All events were acquired in a BD FACSAria Cell Sorter and analyzed with FlowJo vX.0.7 software (TreeStar, Ashland, OR).

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.
