MSC function was assessed by measuring their ability to inhibit the proliferation of, and cytokine production by, activated T cells. In brief, MSCs (2×104) were irradiated at 30-Gy to inhibit proliferation, then were painted for 30 min at 37°C in the presence or absence of activated CFH (10 μg/ml). After washing, these cells were incubated with 30% NHS in GVB++ buffer for 30 min at 37°C, washed, and incubated with different numbers of PBMCs (MSC: PBMC ratio 1:10, 1:20 and 1:40) in the presence of anti-CD3/28 Dynabeads (2 μl, ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA) and human IL-2 (30 U/ml; Biolegend, CA). After 48 h, BrdU (10 μM) was added to the co-cultures and culture supernatants were collected 72 h later and IFN-r levels measured by conventional ELISA (Biolegend, CA), while the cells were fixed and proliferation of the activated T cells assessed by measuring BrdU incorporation using a BrdU ELISA kit (Roche, Chicago, IN).

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.
