The culture was similar as described previously [30 (link)]. Briefly, anti-bovine CD3 (Clone #MM1A, WSU, Pullman, WA, USA) was added to 48-well plates at 10 µg/mL in 250 µL 1X PBS (Hyclone, Logan, UT, USA), as in previous reports [30 (link),81 (link),82 (link)]. Anti-CD28 antibody (Clone#CC219, BioRad) was supplemented in culture medium at 5 ug/ml as reported [50 (link)]. Recombinant human IL-12 (R & D Systems, Twin City, MN, USA) was supplemented at a final concentration of 20 ng/mL, as reported by [31 (link),32 (link)]. Sorted, bovine CD4+ T cells were seeded at 1 × 105 per well in 48-well plates, and autologous neutrophils (from the same cattle) were added to the wells of T cells at 10:1 (1 × 106 neutrophils) ratios as determined in our recent report [30 (link)]. Neutralizing Ab against bovine IL-10 (Clone#CC320, BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA) was added to the medium at 10 µg/mL [30 (link),82 (link),83 (link)]. Plates were incubated at 37 °C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 for 3.5 days and then analyzed for CD25 and CD62L expression in CD4+ T cells. For IFNγ intracellular staining, a fraction of cultured cells was washed and resuspended in Allos medium supplied with cell activation cocktail (R&Dsystems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), incubated for an additional 4 hours before intracellular staining. All stained samples were analyzed using flow cytometry.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To generate in vitro effectors, lymph nodes and spleens of donor TCR transgenic mice (OTII or P25) were harvested and homogenized through a 70μm cell strainer. Following red blood cell lysis, cells underwent CD4 negative T cell selection using magnetic beads (Miltenyi Biotec). Three to 4×106 cells were plated with 1×107 mitomycin C-treated (Sigma Aldrich) C57BL/6 splenocytes, in RPMI 1640 (Lonza) supplemented with 10% non heat-inactivated FCS (Atlanta Biologicals), L-Glutamine, Penicillin-Streptomycin (Lonza), non-essential amino acids (Gibco), and 50μM 2-mercaptoethanol in each well of a 24-well plate. The splenocytes were pulsed with 2μM OVA323-339 peptide (OTII) or 1.26μM Ag85b 240-254 peptide (P25). The cells were cultured in the presence of 10ng/ml IFNγ (eBioscience), 10μg/ml anti-mouse IL-4 (eBioscience), and 10ng/ml recombinant human IL-12 (R&D). On day 2, 10ng/ml recombinant human IL-2 (R&D) was also added to the culture medium. On day 6, cells were harvested and for FACS experiments 2-4×106 cells were transferred into recipient mice, whereas for imaging experiments, about 6-8×106 T cells were transferred. Transferred populations were either congenically marked, genetically labeled with GFP, or labeled with intracellular dyes (CMTMR, CMFDA, TAMRA, or CMF 2HR, all from Invitrogen) for further identification by flow cytometry or imaging.

IFN-γ-secreting CD4+ T cells were isolated by flow cytometry following activation with recombinant human IL-12 (500 pg/ml, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), IL-18 (50 ng/ml, R&D Systems) and TL1A (100 ng/ml, Fitzgerald Industries International, Acton, MA) for 8h. IFN-γ-secreting cells were detected using an IFN-γ secretion assay cell enrichment and detection kit (Miltenyi Biotec, San Diego, CA) and sorted on a FACS Aria II (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA).
Intracellular IFN-γ production and analysis of cellular aggregation was conducted essentially as described.15 (link) Cells were either rested or stimulated for 24h with IL12/IL18 and TL1A and Brefeldin A (10ug/ml) was added for the last 4h. Cells were fixed and stained for intracellular IFN-γ (brilliant violet 421-IFN-γ, eBioscience) or isotype control. Samples were washed and stained for cellular aggregation (propidium iodide). Cells were acquired on a LSRII Flowcytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose) and analyzed with FlowJo software (TreeStar Inc., Ashland, OR). For LFA1 blocking analysis cells were pre-incubated overnight with monoclonal control mouse IgG1k (15ug/ml) or anti-LFA1 (TS1/18) followed by stimulation with IL12/IL18 and TL1A for 24h.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Differentiation of human CD4+ T cell subsets in vitro was performed as previously described (69 (link)72 (link, link, link)). In brief, naive CD4+ CD45RA+ T cells were enriched from donor PBMCs using the T cell enrichment kit (Miltenyi). Cell culture was in the presence of anti-CD3/CD28 activation beads (1:20 bead to cell ratio) (Invitrogen) plus polarization condition medium (RPMI-1640 containing 10% knockout serum replacement [ThermoFisher]) and supplemented with cytokines (vide infra) at 37 °C for 6 d. For Th1 differentiation conditions, naive T cells were cultured in the presence of anti–IL-4 neutralizing antibody (10 mg/mL; R&D) and recombinant human IL-12 (5 ng/mL; R&D). For Th2 conditions, naive T cells were cultured in the presence of anti–IFN-γ neutralizing antibody (10 mg/mL; R&D) in addition to recombinant IL-4 (4 ng/mL; Peprotech). To obtain differentiated Th17 cells, naive T cells were cultured using IL-1β (20 ng/mL; Peprotech), IL-6 (20 ng/mL; Peprotech), recombinant TGF-β (3 ng/mL; Peprotech), and IL-23 (10 ng/mL; R & D) for 7 d. To expand Th17 cells, Dynabeads (Invitrogen) isolated CD4+ T cells were used instead of CD45RA+ selected T cells.

Human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRECs; Cell Systems Corporation, Kirkland, WA, USA) were maintained with CS-C complete medium (Cell Systems Corporation) in 6% CO2 at 37 °C. Cells at passages 5–7 were used for the studies.
HRECs suspensions (2 × 104 cells/500 μL) were seeded in 24 wells plates, cultured in C-SC medium with 10% FBS, and allowed the attachment. After starvation in C-SC medium with 1% FBS for 24 h, the medium was replaced with or without recombinant human IL-12 (rIL-12) at 0.1 ng, 1 ng, or 10 ng/mL (R&D System) for 24 h. Then the cells were collected and examined for the mRNA expressions by real-time RT-PCR.

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.
