TCR gene transfer was carried out as described (54 (link)) with minor modifications. In brief, HEK-293 cells stably expressing GALV-env and MLV-gag/pol were grown to ~80% confluence and transfected with 3 μg of pMP71-TCR vectors in the presence of 10 μg Lipofectamine2000 (Life Technologies). At 48 and 72 h after transfection, 3 ml of retrovirus containing supernatant were harvested. 1 × 106 human PBMCs, that had been frozen after isolation from healthy donors by ficoll gradient centrifugation, were thawed and stimulated with 5 μg/ml anti-CD3 (OKT3) and 1 μg/ml anti-CD28 (CD28.2) (Biolegend) coated plates in the presence of 300 U/ml recombinant human interleukin 2 (hIL-2) (Peprotech). Transductions at 48 and 72 h after stimulation were performed by addition of retrovirus containing supernatant and 4 μg/ml protamine sulfate followed by spinoculation for 90 min at 800 g and 32°C (1st transduction). For second transduction, retrovirus was preloaded onto retronectin (Takara)-coated plates followed by spinoculation for 30 min at 800 g and 32°C. Transduced PBMCs were maintained in the presence of 300 U/ml hIL-2 for a total of 2 weeks. At least 2 days prior to use in experiments, transduced PBMCs were cultured in the presence of 30 U/ml hIL-2.

T cells were isolated from a leukoreduction system chamber from an HLA-A02 positive healthy donor from the Stanford institutional blood bank using the RosetteSep human T cell enrichment cocktail (Stem Cell Technologies) and viably stored in liquid nitrogen. For T cell activation, T cells were thawed and stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28 beads (Life Technologies) in the presence of IL-2 (100 IU/mL). On days 1 and 2, activated T cells were retrovirally transduced using Retronectin (Takara) coated plates in media containing 100 IU/mL IL-2. anti-CD3/CD28 beads were removed on day 3 and media containing IL-2 were replenished once every 2 days. Following 8 days of in vitro expansion, T cells were co-cultured with 293A2 cells expressing full-length TMEM161A, EntS, LMP2, FluM1, or GFP alone at a 1:1 ratio. Following 18 h incubation, cells were stained with anti-CD3 (OKT3, Biolegend), anti-CD69 (FN50, Biolegend), anti-TCR⍺/β (IP26, Biolegend), anti-CD137 (4B4-1, BD Biosciences), and live/dead near-IR dye (Invitrogen).

CMV-specific T cell line (HD-2) and T cell clones (A1-8 and A1-9) specific for CMV pp65 protein were generated from a single HLA-A*0201+ healthy control.

HLA-A*0201-CMV-CTL were then sorted using a FACS Aria flow cytometer.
Sorted CMV-CTL from HD-2 cell line were then clonally selected using limiting dilution in T cell medium containing Serum-free medium (Cell-Genix, Freiburg, Germany), with 10% human AB serum (Innovative Research, MI) supplemented with IL-2 (1000 IU/ml), IL-15 (10ng/ml), IL-21 (10ng/ml), (Prospec, Ness-Ziona, Israel), penicillin (100IU/ml), streptomycin (100μg/ml) (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA), and amphotericin B (2.5mg/L) (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO) and seeded with anti-CD3 (OKT3) (Biolegend, CA, USA) and addition of γ-irradiated allogeneic feeder cells at a 5:1 E:T ratio. After 14 days, the clonal selection was repeated. Expanded T cell clones were transferred into larger vessels when required where they were subsequently expanded in T cell culture medium and maintained by biweekly stimulation with OKT3 and irradiated allogenic feeder cells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMBCs) were obtained from anonymous donors as previously described [23 (link)]. The CD8 T cells were isolated by negative selection using an enrichment kit for CD8 T cells (Stem Cell Technologies). These isolations yielded cells that were consistently >98% positive for CD8 T cells (data not shown). CD8 T cells were activated for 5 days with magnetic Dynabeads (Invitrogen) bound with anti-CD3 (OKT3, BioLegend) and anti-CD28 (CD28.2, BioLegend) antibodies in the presence of 100 U/mL IL-2. Following activation and expansion, the stimulatory anti-CD3/anti-CD28 beads and IL-2 were removed, and the cells were rested for 24 h in complete RPMI (RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FBS, 50 U/mL penicillin, 50 μg/mL streptomycin, and 2 mM l-glutamine (Gibco)) before further experimentation. Activated CD8 T cells were split into different flasks and exposed to different doses of recombinant cytokines (R&D Systems) or exposed to IL-12 for different times. Media was not changed in between the times. Cells were then washed three times in complete RPMI to remove the recombinant cytokines.

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.
