Mice were immunized intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 50 μg endotoxin‐free ovalbumin (Endograde OVA; Profos) in combination with monophosphoryl lipid A (Sigma‐Aldrich) or Imject alum (Thermo Scientific) as adjuvants. For analysis of affinity maturation, OT‐II‐cell transferred WT or Cd3e–/– mice were immunized i.p. with 50 μg NP19‐OVA (Biosearch Technologies) in alum. For SWHEL and OT‐II co‐transfers, mice were immunized i.p. with 30–35 μg of HELWT‐OVA323‐339 or the mutated form HEL2X‐OVA323‐339 in alum (recombinant proteins were kindly provided by Humabs BioMed).

Mice were immunized with NP-Ficoll (Biosearch Technologies, Middleton, WI, USA, 10 μg/100 μL/mouse in PBS) or NP19-OVA (Biosearch Technologies) adsorbed onto Imject alum (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA, 1:1, 30 μg/100 μL/mouse) intraperitoneally.

Preimmunization and Adoptive Transfer Protocol

For B1-8hi transfer experiments, C57BL/6 recipient mice were preimmunized by i.p. injection of 100 µg OVA (BioSearch Technologies) dissolved in PBS and precipitated in alum (Sigma-Aldrich) at a 1:1 ratio >2 wk before adoptive cell transfer. 12–24 h after B1-8hi cell transfer, recipient mice were immunized by i.p. injection of 100 µg NP19-OVA (BioSearch Technologies) precipitated in alum (Sigma-Aldrich) at a 1:1 ratio. For NP-Ficoll immunization, non-preimmunized C57BL/6 recipient mice were i.p. injected with 100 µg NP46-Ficoll (BioSearch Technologies) dissolved in PBS and precipitated in alum at a 1:1 ratio. For in vivo proliferation analysis, 1 mg EdU (Sigma-Aldrich) diluted in PBS was i.p. or i.v. injected at indicated time points after immunization. For PE immunization, mice were s.c. injected with 50 µl of an emulsion containing 50 µg of PE. Emulsions were prepared by mixing PE in PBS in a 1:1 ratio with complete Freund’s adjuvant (Sigma-Aldrich). For peptide immunizations, mice were i.p. injected with 100 µg Ag85b280-294 (FQDAYNAAGGHNAVF) or 2W1S (EAWGALANWAVDSA) peptide in 100 µl of a 1:1 emulsion with complete Freund’s adjuvant.

Investigating T Cell-Mediated Immune Responses

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mice transferred with splenic CD4 T cells (1 × 106 cells) from OTII Tg Tgm2+/+ or Tgm2−/− mice were intraperitoneally injected with 100 μg NP19-OVA (Biosearch Technologies) in CFA (Sigma) next day after cell transfer. Serum samples were collected 1 and 3 weeks after the immunization. The concentrations of NP-specific Igs (IgG1 and IgG2c) were determined by ELISA (48 (link)). Alternatively, Tgm2fl/flCd4Cre and control Tgm2fl/fl mice were intraperitoneally injected with 100 μg whole OVA (Sigma) plus 10 μg LPS (Invivogen) in 200 μl PBS at an interval of 2 weeks. Serum samples were collected and analyzed 4 weeks after the last immunization. To detect in vivo generated memory Th cells, whole splenocytes were stimulated with OVA (100 μg /mL) for 4 h in the presence of 2 μM monensin, and detected CD154+ and IFNγ+ CD4T cells by intracellular staining (49 (link)).

cOVA (“Imject OVA”) was purchased from Thermo Scientific (Rockford, IL). (NP)19-OVA, (NP)26-BSA and PC-BSA were obtained from Biosearch Technologies (Novato, CA). Alum (Allhydrogel 2%) was obtained from Brenntag Biosector (Denmark). Indomethacin was obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). PC covalently linked to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) and truncated (first 302 amino acids) recombinant PspA was made as previously described (19 (link)).

For B1-8 hi transfer experiments, C57BL/6 recipient mice were pre-immunized by intraperitoneal injection of 100 µg OVA (BioSearch Technologies) dissolved in PBS and precipitated in alum (Sigma-Aldrich) at a 1:1 (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder.

No reuse allowed without permission. ratio > 2 weeks prior to adoptive cell transfer. 12 to 24 hours after B1-8 hi cell transfer, recipient mice were immunized by intraperitoneal injection of 100 µg NP19-OVA (BioSearch Technologies) precipitated in alum (Sigma-Aldrich) at a 1:1 ratio. For in vivo proliferation analysis, 1 mg 5-Ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU, Sigma-Aldrich) diluted in PBS was intraperitoneally or intravenously injected at indicated time-points post immunization. For Phycoerythrin (PE) immunization, mice were subcutaneously injected with 50 μl of an emulsion containing 50 μg of PE. Emulsions were prepared by mixing PE in PBS in a 1:1 ratio with Complete Freund's Adjuvant (Sigma-Aldrich). For peptide immunizations, mice were intraperitoneally injected with 100 µg Ag85b280-294 (FQDAYNAAGGHNAVF) or 2W1S (EAWGALANWAVDSA) peptide in 100 µl of a 1:1 emulsion with Complete Freund's Adjuvant (Sigma-Aldrich).

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.
