For the analysis of mouse skin, 1 cm × 1 cm dorsal skin was cut off and transferred to an EP tube containing 1 mL Hank’s Balanced Saline Solution (HBSS, H4641, Sigma-Aldrich). The skin was washed rigorously by quickly shaking up and down by hand for 15 s × 3 times. The skin was cut into pieces (<0.5 mm in size) in a 6-well plate placed on ice with dulbecco’s modified eagle medium (DMEM, 11885-084, Gibco) (not supplemented with FBS) containing 1 mg/mL Collagenase P (11213857001, Roche, USA) and 0.2 mg/mL DNase I (AMPD1, Sigma-Aldrich). The samples were incubated in a 37 °C cell culture incubator for 60 min and pipetted every 20 min to gently mix the cells. Cell suspensions were filtered through 40 μm cell strainer. Cells were stained with PerCP/Cy5.5 anti-mouse CD45 (103132, 1:100, BioLegend), FITC anti-mouse Ly6G (127606, 1:100, BioLegend), PE anti-mouse CXCR4 (146506, 1:100, BioLegend), and Zombie UV dye (423102, 1:500, BioLegend) in FACS buffer for 30 min and then analyzed by flow cytometry (649225, BD LSRFortessa Cell Analyzer). Data were analyzed with Flowjo v10.8.1 (Tree Star). Background fluorescence levels were determined by Fluorescence Minus One (FMO).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) from melanoma patients were cultured and expanded as previously described(20 (link)). To assess cytotoxicity of CX-6258 on human TILs, cells were seeded in RPMI with 10% human AB serum, 3000 IU/ml hIL2 at 1×105 cells per well of a 96 round bottom plate (Corning) and treated with increasing doses of CX-6258 in triplicates. After 48 hours cells were collected, washed once with PBS and resuspended in Annexin V staining buffer. Cells were stained with Annexin V-FITC and Propidium iodide (PI) (Cell Signaling) and analyzed on a Sony SP6800 Spectral Flow Cytometer. Data were analyzed using FlowJo 10.5.3 (TreeStar) and viable cells defined by negative staining for Annexin V and PI are reported. For proliferation assays 5×104 TILs were stained with CFSE (Invitrogen) and seeded together with anti-CD3/CD28 Beads (Invitrogen) and increasing doses of CX-6258 in T-cell media supplemented with 30 IU/ml IL2. Cells were collected on days 1,3 and 5, stained for viability using Zombie UV dye (BioLegend) and fixed using 4 % formaldehyde in PBS. Cells were analysed by FACS on a BD-Fortessa (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Data analysis was performed with FlowJo 10.5.3 (TreeStar) and viable cells were defined by negative staining for Zombie and analyzed for CFSE intensity.

Cryopreserved TILs were thawed in warmed RPMI plus benzonase (MilliporeSigma) and washed in RPMI. Cells were plated in a round-bottom 96-well plate at 1–2e6 cells/well. Cells were washed with PBS, blocked with mouse CD16/32 Fc block (BioLegend), and then stained with Zombie UV dye (BioLegend) and surface antibody cocktail, then permeabilized with eBioScience FoxP3 Fixation/Permeabilization kit (eBioscience, Waltham, MA, USA) according to manufacturer’s protocol. They were stained with intracellular antibody cocktail, then fixed with 2% paraformalin and kept on ice until acquisition on a BD Symphony A3 (BD). Data were compensated for fluorescent spillover and analyzed using FlowJo 10.8.1 (RRID: SCR_008520) (BD).

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.
