Sirt3 Regulates Germinal Center Formation

Control Sirt3+/+ and Sirt3−/− mice were immunized intraperitoneally at 8 to 12 weeks of age with 0.5 ml suspension of 2% sheep red blood cell (SRBC) in PBS (Cocalico Biologicals) to induce GC formation. Mice were sacrificed after 10 days and spleens were isolated from control and SIRT3 knockout mice. The spleen sections derived from Sirt3+/+ and Sirt3−/−mice were stained by hematoxylin and eosin (FI&E) and peanut agglutinin (PNA) using standard procedures. The number of GCs, the total spleen area occupied by GCs and the average area occupied by the GCs were quantified using ImageJ 1,44o (NIH) software. To determine the percentage of GC B-cell population, single-cell suspensions from spleens derived from Sirt3+/+ and Sirt3−/− mice were stained using the following fluorescent-labeled anti-mouse antibodies: FITC conjugated anti-B220, PE conjugated anti-FAS, APC conjugated anti-CD38 from BD biosciences and analyzed by flow-cytometry. To evaluate follicular and marginal zone B-cell populations, splenic B cells were stained with APC conjugated anti-B220, FITC conjugated anti-CD21 and PE conjugated anti-CD38 from BD biosciences and then analyzed by flow-cytometry. DAPI was used for the exclusion of dead cells. The data was analyzed by FlowJo software.

Cells were suspended in blocking buffer (0.5 % BSA/ 2 mM EDTA, in PBS) and then labeled with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies: PE-conjugated anti-Fas (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), PE-conjugated anti-FasL (Biolegend, San Diego, CA) (1 μg/ml), or anti-MHC-I (Biolegend, San Diego, CA), anti-RAE-1δ (Biolegend, San Diego, CA), anti-Rae-1αβγδε (scbt, CA, USA) (1:50), followed by APC-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (scbt, CA, USA) or APC-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (scbt, CA, USA) (1:50) secondary antibodies, as appropriate. Cell membrane expression of these molecules was assessed by Flow Cytometry (FACS Aria III, BD Biosciences). Raw data was further analyzed by using Flow Jo software (Tree Star, Inc. Ashland OR).

FITC-conjugated anti-CD28 and its corresponding isotype control were purchased from Serotec (Oxfordshire, UK). Rabbit polyclonal primary anti-Ki-67 and its isotype control were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK) and Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA), respectively. PerCP-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG antibody was obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. T cell mitogen concanavalin A (Con A) was obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, MO).

T Cell Apoptosis Signaling Pathway

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
FITC-conjugated anti-Fas, PE-conjugated anti-Fas, anti-FasL and isotype control (BD Biosciences, Mountain View, CA, USA) were used to analyze the expression of Fas and FasL on different T cell subsets according to the manufacturer's instructions. Activated caspase 8 was determined by flow cytometry using a commercially available activated caspase 8 detection kit (eBioscience) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Concentrations of sFas and IL-10 in the serum were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using commercial kits (R&D Systems, MN, USA).

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.
