Evaluating pDC Responses to TLR Stimuli

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
When assessing the impact of γδ T cells on pDCs, the ability of pDCs to respond to a subsequent TLRL stimulation was assessed following the first coculture. In this case, the γδ T cells-pDCs cocultures were harvested after 20 h, washed, counted and pDCs were resuspended at 1 × 106/ml and further cultured 24 h in absence or presence of TLR7L (CL097, 1 μg/mL) or TLR9L (CpGA, 1.5 μM) (Invivogen).

Two μg of CpG-A (ODN2216; Invivogen) and 12 μL DOTAP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) were mixed with 100 μL of PBS and administered intravenously (i.v.) by tail vein injection. Control mice received 12 μL DOTAP with PBS. Spleens were harvested and analyzed 6 hours after inoculation.

Ox mtDNA was generated as previously described3 (link). Briefly, healthy neutrophils were pre-incubated with IFNα2β (2000 U/ml; Schering Corp.) for 90 min at 37 C and then extensively washed before incubation with anti-RNP IgG (50 μg/ml) purified from SLE patient sera. Neutrophil supernatants were then collected, centrifuged for 10 min at 1400g and stored at −80 C. PDCs (5×105 cells/well – 96 U bottom plate) were cultured with 40% v/v Ox mtDNA-containing neutrophil supernatants (referred in the text as “Ox mtDNA”) or with 5 μg/ml of either CpGA (ODN-2216; Invivogen) or CpGB (ODN-2006; Invivogen) for 24 h. The volume of Ox mtDNA-containing neutrophil supernatants and the concentration of CpGA were selected based on their capacity to trigger similar levels of IFNα production by pDCs.

Assessing pDC Activation after γδ T Cell Coculture

After coculture with γδ T cells, the ability of pDCs to respond to a subsequent TLRL stimulation was assessed following the first coculture. In this case, the γδ T cells–pDCs cocultures were harvested upon 20 h, washed and counted, and pDCs were resuspended at 1 × 106 mL−1 and further cultured 24 h in the absence or presence of TLR7‐L (CL097, 1 μg mL−1) or TLR9L (CpGA, 1.5 μm) (Invivogen).

Dendritic Cell Vaccination with TLR Agonists

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bone marrow-derived CD11c+ DCs were generated after 5 days of culture with GM-CSF and matured with LPS (50ng/ml) overnight as described previously (11 (link), 30 (link)). Matured DCs were pulsed with GP33-41 peptide (200ng/ml) for 2h, washed with PBS and 1×106 DC-33 cells were injected intravenously (i.v.). Simultaneously, DC immunized mice were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with either PBS or one of the following TLR ligands: PAM3CSK4 (50μg), poly I:C (50μg), LPS (20μg), MPLA (30μg), Flagellin(20μg), LTA(20μg), R848 (20μg), CpG-A (50μg) or CpG-B (50μg). The dose for each adjuvant was primarily determined by either previous publications (14 (link), 15 , 31 (link)-34 (link)) and/or manufacture recommendations. Additional titrations were done in some cases to ensure comparable CD8 T cell responses at the effector phase as shown in Supplementary Figure 1 and no perceivable side effects. LPS was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO; CpG-A and CpG-B were synthesized at Yale University Keck Facility; and the rest were all purchased from InvivoGen, San Diego, CA.

PBMC Stimulation and IFN-α Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
1 × 106 thawed PBMCs were incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO2 during 18 h in RPMI with 10% FBS without any stimuli or with 1 µM CpG-A (ODN 2216; InvivoGen). After incubation, cells were pelleted and the supernatants conserved for the subsequent quantification of IFN-α production at −80 °C. The amount of IFN-α in cell culture supernatants was assessed by an IFN-α multisubtype enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit (PBL Interferon Source Cat# 41105) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

DC and myoblasts were harvested and transferred (respectively 50x103 and 10x103 cells/well) to 96-well plates and incubated with LipoPolySaccharide LPS (1 μg/mL), flagellin (10 ng/mL), zymosan (1 μg/mL), CpG-A (10 μg/mL), imiquimod (0.5 μg/mL), poly (I:C) (1 μg/mL), or Pam3CSK4 (100 ng/mL), all from Invivogen, for 16 hr. IL-6 concentration was measured in culture supernatants using a Human IL-6 ELISA MAX Deluxe, according to the manufacturer’s instructions and performing 3 to 4 technical replicates per condition. The results are expressed in picograms per milliliter (pg/mL). Unless otherwise specified in figures or legends, cytokine concentrations in vitro are presented after background subtraction, obtained with cells incubated with vehicle (DMSO or water). In some experiments the TLR9 antagonist ODN TTAGGG (A151) was added 1 hr before addition of stimuli at the concentration of 1 μmol/L.

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.
