Cells were stained with one of three staining combinations in four different experiments as detailed below. Experiments 1, 2, and 3 were performed with K562 cells (ATCC® CCL243™). In Experiment 1, all cells were stained with DNA stains - Hoechst 33342 “ThermoFisher” (2 µM final concentration, 20 minutes at room temperature) and propidium iodide “ThermoFisher” (3.75 µM final concentration, 20 minutes at room temperature) - where Hoechst permeates all cells and propidium iodide enters dead cells only. In Experiments 2, and 3 - half the cells were stained with CellTracker Green CMFDA “ThermoFisher” (1 µM final concentration, 30 minutes at room temperature) and LIVE/DEAD® Fixable Red Dead Cell Stain “ThermoFisher” (per manufacturer protocol), while the other half were stained with CellTracker Orange CMRA “ThermoFisher” (1 µM final concentration, 30 minutes at room temperature) and LIVE/DEAD® Fixable Red Dead Cell Stain “ThermoFisher” (per manufacturer protocol). CellTracker Orange and CellTracker Green stain all cells, whereas Fixable Red Dead Cell enters only dead cells. Post-staining, cells were thoroughly washed with PBS to remove unincorporated stain and re-suspended in PBS or 1x DSP for fresh and fixed cells respectively.

Cells were detached using ice cold PBS containing 2 mM EDTA and stained for mitochondrial ROS (MitoSOX Red, Life Technologies) or cell death (7-AAD, eBioscience or LIVE/DEAD fixable red dead cell stain, Life Technologies). Proportions of mitochondrial ROS producing (MitoSOX+) or dead (7AAD+ or LIVE/DEAD+) cells were determined in infected (GFP+) and uninfected (GFP-) cell populations by flow cytometry (FACScan, BD or MACSQuant, Miltenyi Biotec). Data analysis was done using FlowJo software (Tree Star).

PBMC and Monocyte Staining Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following recovery from culture, PBMCs or monocytes were washed once in ice cold PBS prior to staining with Live/Dead fixable red dead cell stain (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) for 30 m at 4 °C. Cells were washed once in cold PBE (PBS with 0.5% BSA and 2 mM EDTA) and stained with antibodies for extracellular markers diluted in PBE for 30 m at 4 °C. For ICS, cells were treated with Cytofix/Cytoperm (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) for 20 m at 4 °C, washed, and stained with antibodies for intracellular markers at 1:100 for 30 m at 4 °C. Human Fc Block (BD Biosciences) was used in all staining buffers. For intracellular cytokine staining, Brefeldin A (Millipore Sigma) was added to the culture at 5 mg/mL 6 h prior to harvest. Single-stained controls were prepared using UltraComp eBeads (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Data was acquired on a BD LSR II cytometer (BD Biosciences). Compensation and gating were accomplished using FlowJo v10 (TreeStar, Ashland, OR). Gating strategies are included in the supplement (Supplementary Fig. 7). A complete list of conjugated clones may be found in Supplementary Table 2.

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.
