Phospho-ERK1/2 Signaling in T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) mice were used for examination of phosphoERK1/2 expression upon stimulation. Cells were isolated with magnetic negative enrichment using CD3 isolation kit (StemCell). CD3 enriched cells were kept ice cold until time of stimulation in 37°C water bath. Cells were first labeled with anti-CD3ε (10μg/ml) and anti-CD28 (5μg/ml) (BioXcell) antibodies in ice cold PBS for 30min on ice. Cells were washed and then stained with cross-linker goat anti-Armenian hamster IgG (Jackson Immuno Research Laboratories) (20μg/ml) and anti-CD44/ anti-CD62L antibodies for additional 30min on ice. Tubes were then placed in water bath to start stimulation and lyse/fix buffer (BD) was added to stop stimulation at indicated times. Cells were permeabilized with Perm III buffer (BD) before being stained for CD3, CD4, CD8, and pERK1/2. Samples were acquired in LSRII cytometer and analyzed using Flowjo software.

Naive CD4+ T cells were cultured in tissue culture–treated multiwell plates that were coated overnight with 2 μg/mL of anti-CD3ε (Bio X Cell) at 106 cells/mL. Th1, Th2, and Th9 were cultured as previously described (59 (link)), and in some cases IL-6 and/or IL-21 was added to these cultures in varying concentrations as noted. In cytokine screening experiments, cells were cultured in flat-bottom, 96-well plates with plate-bound anti-CD3 and soluble anti-CD28 as per above. Cytokines were added at day 0 of culture (IL-4, 10 ng/mL; IL-6, 20 ng/mL; IL-12, 10 ng/mL; IL-21, 100 ng/mL; Pam3CSK4, 2 μg/mL; TGF-β, 2 ng/mL; TNF 100 ng/mL; see Supplemental Table 3 for other cytokines used), and cells were expanded 1:4 in fresh media with no additional cytokines day 3 of culture. All cytokines were purchased from PeproTech, except TGF-β, which was purchased from R&D Systems, Bio-Techne. Pam3CSK4 was purchased from InvivoGen.

Naive CD4 T cells from WT, STAT3C+/+, Foxp3-GFP, Nur77-GFP, and CD45.1 mice were isolated by FACS sorting as described previously (Yeh et al., 2011 (link)) or by magnetic bead enrichment using the mouse naive CD4 isolation kit (Stem Cell Technology) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Naive CD4 T cells were stimulated in R10 media (RPMI 1640 with 10% FCS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 IU/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 1 × nonessential amino acids, 1 μM sodium pyruvate, and 50 μM β-mercaptoethanol) with plate-bound 10 μg/ml anti-CD3ε (BioXCell, clone 145C-11) and soluble 1 μg/ml anti-CD28 (eBioscience, clone 37.51), 20 ng/ml rmIL-6 (Biolegend), 2.5 ng/ml rhTGFβ1 (Peprotech), 10 ng/ml rmIL-23 (Biolegend), 10 μg/ml anti-IL-4 (BioXCell, 11B11), and 10 μg/ml anti-IFNγ (BioXCell, XMG1.2) for indicated amount of time. The following inhibitors were used in this study:

Measuring CD8+ T Cell Degranulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For degranulation assays (30 (link)), activated CTLs were stimulated in plates coated with anti-CD3ε (BioXCell) or mixed at a 1:1 ratio with peptide-pulsed or non-pulsed targets at 37°C in the presence of anti-CD107a-PE-labeled antibody (clone 1D4B, BioLegend). Upon degranulation, CD107a is exposed on the cell surface, allowing binding and subsequent internalization of the anti-CD107a-PE. At indicated time points, plates were placed on ice and cells transferred into cold PBS, stained with anti-CD8α (clone 53–6.7, BioLegend) antibody, and analyzed via flow cytometry. For analysis, the percent of PE+ cells in the CD8+ gate indicates cells that have degranulated, having been exposed to anti-CD107a during the assay.

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.
