T cells were washed in staining buffer (SB) consisting of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.1% human serum albumin (HSA) and 0.1% sodium azide before staining for 20 min at RT. The cells were then washed in SB and fixed in SB containing 1% paraformaldehyd. For intracellular staining, T cells were stimulated for 6 h or overnight with APCs, loaded or not with p573, at a T-cell to target ratio of 1:2 and in the presence of BD GolgiPlug and BD Golgistop at a 1/1,000 dilution. Cells were stained both extracellular and intracellular using the PerFix-nc kit according to the manufacturer's instructions (Beckman Coulter Inc., USA). The following antibodies were used: Vβ3- FITC (Beckman Coulter-Immunotech SAS, France), CD3-eFluor450, CD4-eFluor 450, CD4-PE-Cy7, CD8-APC, CD8-eFluor 450, CD8-PE-Cy7, CD56-PE-Cy5.5 (BD Biosciences, USA) and CD107a-PE-Cy5 (BD Biosciences, USA), CXCR2-PE, IFNγ-FITC, IL-2-APC, TNF-α-PE (BD Biosciences, USA), CD261/TRAIL-R4-PE (BD Biosciences, USA). MART-1 (aa 26–35)-specific TCR was detected with dextramer staining (Immudex) following the manufacturer's recommendations. All antibodies were purchased from eBioscience, except where noted. Cells were acquired on a BD LSR II flow cytometer and the data analyzed using FlowJo software (Treestar Inc.).

T-cell Transduction and Cytokine Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
T-cell transduction, cytokine staining and bioluminescence (BLI)-based killing assay have been described in details elsewhere [9 (link)]. Briefly, primary T-cell transduction with retroviral particles was performed by double spinoculation followed by expansion on CD3/CD28 beads. The staining of the CAR was performed with Biotin-SP-AffiniPure F (ab′)2 Fragment Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (Jackson ImmuResearch, USA), followed by a secondary staining with Streptavidin`-PE (Biolegend, USA). CAR-expressing T cells were co-cultured with cells positive or negative for the target antigen, and TNF-α was detected by flow cytometry using TNF-α-PE (MAb11, BD Biosciences). The samples were run on a BD FACSCanto flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, USA), and data were analyzed using FlowJo software (Treestar Inc., USA). BLI killing assay was also based on a co-culture experiment where target cells permanently expressed firefly Luciferase gene, and killing was correlated to the luminescence signal [10 (link)].

Mononuclear cells from blood were isolated and viably cryopreserved. Cells were thawed, rested overnight, and 2×106 cells were stimulated with 2μg/ml of cognate peptides for 6h in RPMI containing 10% human serum in the presence of 5 μg/ml of Brefeldin A (Sigma-Aldrich). Non-stimulated cells, as well as cells stimulated with super antigen SEM (SEA (staphylococcal enterotoxin A) + SEB (staphylococcal enterotoxin B) (Sigma-Aldrich), were used as controls. These cells were then stained with the following surface markers for 15 min at 4°C: CD4 (clone L200-PerCP-Cy5.5, BD Biosciences), CD8 (CD8–PE–Texas Red (ECD), Cedarlane), CD95 (clone DX2-PE-Cy5, BD Biosciences), CD28 (clone CD28.2-Pacific Blue, custom made, BD Biosciences), CCR7 (clone 3D12-PE-Cy7, BD Biosciences), PD-1 (clone MIH4-FITC, BD Biosciences). Cells were fixed for 10 minutes in 100 μl 2% paraformaldehyde at room temperature (25°C). To stain cells with antibodies specific for intracellular cytokines (IFN-γ-Alexa-700, IL-2-APC, TNF-α-PE; BD Biosciences), we incubated the cells with antibodies in 0.25% saponin (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 minutes at 25°C and analyzed them using the BD LSRII flow cytometer. Between 250,000 and 1×106 events were acquired for each condition. Data were then analyzed using DIVA software (BD Biosciences) and the frequency of cytokine producing T cells is presented.

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.
