According to the manufacturer’s instructions, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated using Ficoll density gradients. PBMCs were stimulated with Leukocyte Activation Cocktail (BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA) at 37 °C for 4 h prior to intracellular staining using the manufacturer’s staining protocol. PBMCs were stained for surface markers, fixed, permeabilized with IntraPreReagent (Beckman Coulter, Fullerton, CA), and then stained with antibodies for intracellular markers. Anti-human mAbs against APC-CD4, FITC-CD56, FITC-IFN-γ, PE-CF594-CD3, PE-IL-2, PE-TNF-α, and V450-CD8, with controls, were purchased from BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Eight to ten-week old female C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously inoculated in the right flank with MC38/0 cells (1.1 × 106/0.2 ml/mouse). On the 14th, 15th and 17th day of the experiment, mice were injected i.t. with LVs encoding shRNA against IL-10 (shIL10–3, 2x106TU/50 μl/mouse) or reference LVs encoding scrambled shRNA against human GAPDH (shN). Two days after the third injection, the mice were sacrificed and their tumor nodules were dissected and homogenized. Efficacy of transduction in tumors was measured by flow cytometry as the fluorescence intensity of EGFP among cells isolated from tumors. Concentration of IL-10 was estimated by ELISA in supernatants collected from 24 h culture of 5 mg tumor tissue/ml. Myeloid and lymphocyte populations in tumors were analyzed using LSR Fortessa with Diva software (Becton Dickinson) after staining with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies: CD45 V500, CD3 PE-CF594, CD19 PE-CF594, CD49b PE-CF594 (all from BD Biosciences), CD11b PerCP-Cy5.5, CD11c BV650, F4/80 AlexaFluor 700, Ly6C BV510, Ly6G BV605, MHC II APC-Cy7, for myeloid cell identification (all from Biolegend) and CD45 BV605, CD3 BV650, CD4 FITC, CD8 APC-Fire, (all from BioLegend) for lymphocyte identification.

Cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a subset of subjects from whom PBMCs were available were thawed and rested overnight at 37°C in order to minimize the effect of cellular activation due to thawing. All antibodies were pre-titrated in order to determine appropriate working concentrations. Rested PBMCs were then stained with the following antibodies: aqua viability dye (Invitrogen), CD3-PECF594 (BD; Franklin Lakes, NJ; clone UCHT1), CD4-PerCP-Cy5.5 (Biolegend; San Diego, CA; clone RPA-T4), CD8-APC-H7 (BD, clone SK1), CD38-PECy7 (BD, clone HIT2), and HLA-DR-eFluor605 (eBioscience; San Diego, CA; clone LN3). All stains were performed at 4°C, and cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde after staining. Stained PBMCs were subsequently analyzed on an LSR Fortessa cytometer (BD), using Rainbow Fluorescent Particles (BD) and application settings in BDFACSDiva7 to correct for day-to-day variations in instrument performance. Data were analyzed in FlowJo10 (Treestar; Ashland, OR). Cells were gated on aqua viability dye negative (live), lymphocytes determined by forward scatter vs. side scatter, and subsequently gated on CD3+CD4+ or CD3+CD8+ cells. Levels of activation markers (CD38 and HLA-DR) were measured by percentage positivity on CD4+ and CD8+ cells based on gates created using fluorescence minus one (FMO) 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.
