1 ml of heparinized blood was incubated with 1 µl CD28 antibody (BD Biosciences, Clone CD28.2 RUO) and 50 µl tetanus/diphtheria vaccine (2 I.U. tetanus-toxoid and 0.2 I.U. diphtheria-toxoid; Sanofi Pasteur) 37 °C and 5% CO2. After 2 h of incubation Brefeldin-A (Sigma Aldrich) was added to a final concentration of 2 µg/ml. After a total of 6 h of incubation, the blood was lysed using RBC Lysis Buffer (BioLegend) for 10 min and pelleted at 280 g for 10 min at room temperature. The samples were washed twice with PBS/BSA and prepared for analysis by flow cytometry.

Post-HSCT Vaccination Response

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human blood was collected from three adult patients six months after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation before re-vaccinations (first serum) and one year after three vaccinations with Pentavac® (DTaP-Hib containing 30 IU of diphtheria toxoid and 40 IU of tetanus toxoid, SanofiPasteur) (second serum). First booster and second booster vaccinations were given 4 weeks after the primary or first booster vaccinations, respectively. All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and were approved by the University Hospital Ethics Committee "Ethik-Kommission der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg" (Krankenhausstraße 12, 91054 Erlangen, Germany; https://www.ethikkommission.fau.de) under registration number 147_12B. All patients enrolled gave written informed consent before participation.

Heparinized whole blood was cultured in 100 µL aliquots in 96 well U-bottom plates with tetanus toxoid (TT) (10 µg/mL, Sanofi Pasteur, France); a measles peptide pool of 122 15mer peptides overlapping by 10 amino acids spanning the measles protein hemagglutinin (all 1 µg/mL final concentration, Sigma-Genosys, UK); anti-CD3 (αCD3) (5 µg/mL, BD) plus anti-CD28 (αCD28) (5 µg/mL, E-biosciences) as a positive control T cell stimulus; and medium alone as a background negative control. Antigen pulsed plates were incubated for 16 h at 37°C, 5% CO2, centrifuged and 50 µL of supernatant collected and stored at −20°C for cytokine analysis.

Flow Cytometry Immune Profiling

For the 5-day proliferation assay tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD, Staten Serum Institute) was used at 5 μg/ml; Tetanus toxoid (TT, Sanofi Pasteur) at 1 IU/ml and Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B (SEB) at 0.2 μg/ml. Mtb peptide pool consisting of 15mers peptides overlapping by 10aa, spanning the entire ESAT-6 and CFP-10 proteins (Peptide Synthetics) was used at 2 μg/ml. The following conjugated monoclonal antibodies were used: CD14-APC-Alexa750 (Invitrogen), CD19-APC-Alexa750 (Invitrogen), CD3-BV650 (Biolegend), CD4-ECD (Beckman Coulter), CD8-V500 (BD), T-bet-PE-cy7 (e-Bioscience), RORγt-PE (e-Bioscience), Gata3-PerCPeFluor710 (e-Bioscience), Foxp3-PacBlue (Biolegend), Ki67-FITC (BD), IFN-γ-Alexa700 (BD), IL-2-BV605 (BD), TNF-α-APC (BD), IL-17-APC (BD). The Near Infra-Red amine reactive dye (Molecular Probes) was used as a marker of cell viability.

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.
