Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single cell suspensions were prepared from thymus. Cells were incubated with various combinations of fluorophore-conjugated antibodies against the following cell-surface markers (BD Biosciences) at room temperature for 20 min: Thy1.2, CD28, c-Kit, CD4, CD8, CD44, CD25, CD69, TCRβ, IL-7Rα, HSA, CD62L, and TCR Vα2. Immunolabeled cells were analyzed by flow cytometry.
Intracellular TCRβ staining was performed as described previously (26 (link)). Briefly, cells were incubated with fluorophore-conjugated antibodies to cell-surface markers (anti-CD4, anti-CD8, anti-Thy1.2, anti-CD44, and anti-CD25, anti-CD28), as well as with a saturating amount of anti-TCRβ to block cell-surface TCRβ. Cells were then fixed at room temperature for 20 minutes with 1% paraformaldehyde. After washing in PBS, the cells were incubated with 10 mM glycine for 10 minutes to quench autofluorescence. Cells were then permeabilized using 0.5% saponin, 5% FCS, and 10 mM Hepes (pH 7.4) at room temperature for 10 minutes and stained with fluorophore-conjugated antibody to TCRβ at room temperature for 45 minutes. Intracellular staining of Bcl2 was carried out similarly, except that the Bcl2 antibody was revealed with secondary fluorophore-conjugated goat anti–mouse IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch).

BALB/c mice (six-week-old, female) were purchased from NARA Biotech (Seoul, Korea). Plasmodium berghei ANKA strain 2.34 was serially maintained in mice through intraperitoneal passaging. Recombinant baculovirus (rBV) and VLPs were generated using Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 cells. The Sf9 cells were cultured in spinner flasks with SF900II media purchased from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, USA). P. berghei whole antigens were prepared following the method previously described [15 (link),16 (link),23 (link),24 (link)]. Blood samples were collected from P. brerghei-infected mice at 8 weeks post-infection via retro-orbital plexus puncture for serum acquisition. Monoclonal anti-M1 antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary mouse IgG antibodies were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK) and Southern Biotech (Birmingham, AL, USA), respectively. Fluorophore-conjugated antibodies were purchased from BD Bioscience (CA, USA) and used to perform flow cytometry.

The activity of immune cells in the spleen and lung was analyzed by flow cytometry as described previously [21 (link)]. Percentages of T cells (CD4+, CD8+) and B cell (germinal center) from splenocytes and lung cells of mice were analyzed by flow cytometry 4 days post-challenge as described previously [6 ,22 (link)]. Splenocytes and lung cells (1×106 cell/mL) in staining buffer (2% bovine serum albumin and 0.1% sodium azide in 0.1 M PBS) were incubated at 4°C for 15 min with Fc Block (BD Biosciences, CA, USA). For surface antigen staining, cells were incubated with fluorophore-conjugated antibodies (CD3e, CD4, CD8, B220, GL7; BD Biosciences) at 4°C for 30 min. Splenocytes and lung cells were washed with staining buffer and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min at 4°C before acquisition using a BD Accuri C6 Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences).

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.
