Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
T cell detection by IFNγ ELISpot assay was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions (3321–2 A, Mabtech). Briefly, ELISpot PVDF plates (MSIPS4W10, Millipore) were pre-activated with 35% ethanol, coated with IFNγ-coating antibody and incubated overnight at 4–8 °C. Splenocytes (2 × 105 if peptide-stimulated, 5 × 104 if PMA/Ionomycin-stimulated) were added to duplicate wells and incubated overnight with 2 μg/mL peptides. Stimuli used were IE1, IE2 and pp65 peptide libraries as well as HLA-A2-restricted pp65- and IE1-specific immunodominant epitope peptides pp65 495–503 (NLVPMVATV) and IE1 316–324 (VLEETSVML) and HLA-B7-restricted pp65-specific immunodominant epitope peptide pp65 265-275 (RPHERNGFTVL). After 16–24 h, cells were removed from the wells, and IFNγ-detection antibody followed by streptavidin-ALP were added. Spots were developed using BCIP/NBT-plus (3650-10, Mabtech) and analyzed using CTL Analyzer immunoSpot plate reader. DMSO was used as negative control for splenocyte stimulation, and all values shown in Fig. 6 were DMSO-normalized.

Detecting NP-Specific Antibodies in Immunized Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To detect the NP specific PCs in the spleens of NP-CGG immunized mice, 96 well sterile filter plates (MSIPS4W10- Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) were coated with 10 μg/ml NP-BSA in sterile PBS over night at 4 °C. To discriminate the affinity of interactions, NP:BSA ratios of 4 (high affinity) and 30 (mixed affinity) were used. Plates were washed three times with PBS and then blocked with sterile PBS supplemented with 1% BSA for 2 hours at RT Followed by another three washes with sterile PBS. Cells harvested from the spleens of mice on day 14 post immunization were resuspended at three different dilutions in serum free X-VIVO™ 20 media (Lonza) supplemented with β-ME and plated into the ELISPOT plate. Plates were incubated at 37 °C, in a 5% CO2 incubator, avoiding any vibrations for 20-24 hours. Cells were then discarded and plates were washed three times with PBS followed by another three washes with PBS-Tween 20 (0.5%). HRP-conjugated anti mouse IgG in PBS-Tween 20 (0.5%)-BSA (1%) solution was added to the plates. Following overnight incubation at 4°C, Plates were washed three times with PBS-Tween 20 (0.5%) followed by another three washes with PBS alone. Plates were developed using an AEC substrate kit (BD Biosciences) according to manufacturer’s guidelines. Evaluation and imaging of the developed ELISPOT plates were carried out by Zellnet Consulting, Fort Lee, NJ, USA.

White-bottom ELISpot HTS plates (MSIPS4W10, Millipore) were hydrophilized with 35% EtOH and subsequently coated with anti-human IFN-γ (1-D1K, Mabtech). Blocking was performed with X-Vivo-20 (Lonza) supplemented with 1% human albumin (Sigma-Aldrich). PBMCs were thawed and rested overnight in X-Vivo-20. Per well, 4 × 105 cells were seeded and stimulated with 2 μg of peptide in a total volume of 100 μl. H3K27M (p14–40), H3wt (p14–40), or MOG (p35–55) was used as a stimulant, and 10% DMSO diluted in aqua ad iniectabilia (Braun) at equal volume was added as negative control. Positive controls were 1-μg staphylococcal enterotoxin B (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.05-μg CMV with 0.05-μg AdV per well, and CEFX Ultra SuperStim Pools of mixed, known peptide epitopes for MHC I– and MHC II–specific stimulation (PM-CEFX-4 and PM-CEFX-3, respectively; JPT Peptide Technologies). After 44 hours, detection of IFN-γ–secreting cells was performed by adding biotinylated anti-human IFN-γ antibodies (7-B6–1), streptavidin-ALP (both Mabtech), and ALP color development buffer (Bio-Rad). IFN-γ Spots were quantified by an ImmunoSpot Analyzer (ImmunoSpot/CTL Europe).

Splenocytes or cells from draining lymph nodes were obtained from the immunized B6N mice and added to the plates (1x106 cells per well for splenocytes, 0.5x106 cells per well for lymph node cells). The cells were stimulated with 50 ug/ml different peptides (peptides from human COMP library; P9; P9-1, P9-2, P9-3, P9-4) in triplicates at 37for 24 h. Concanavalin A (Con A, 1 ug/ml) used as a positive control. The plates were washed with PBS twice and a washing buffer (PBS containing 0.01% Tween 20) for 4 times followed by incubation with 50ul/well of biotinylated anti-IFN-γ (clone An18, 4 ug/ml in PBS/BSA 0.5%) at room temperature for 2 h. After washing the plates with the washing buffer for 5 times, streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase (50 ul/well, 1:2500 in PBS) was added to each well and incubated for 45 min at room temperature. After washing with the washing buffer for 3 times and PBS for 3 times, cytokine spots were visualized using Sigma Fast BCIP/nitroblue tetrazolium (100 ul/well) and enumerated using an ImmunoScan ELISpot Analyzer (CTL Europe).

ELISpot white-bottom multiscreen HTS plates (MSIPS4W10, Millipore) were coated with anti-human IFNγ (1-D1K, Mabtech) and blocked with X-Vivo-20 (Lonza) containing 2% human albumin (HA). PBMCs were thawed, rested overnight in X-Vivo medium and seeded at 4 × 105 cells per well and stimulated with 2 μg peptides per well in 100 μl volume. PBMCs were stimulated with IDH1(R132H) (p123–142), wild-type IDH1 (p123–142), or MOG (p35–55) at equal concentrations or with peptide diluent aqua ad iniectabilia (Braun) with 10% DMSO (vehicle) at equal volume as negative controls, or with 1 μg staphylococcal enterotoxin B (Sigma-Aldrich) per well and 0.05 μg CMV with 0.05 μg AdV per well (both in 100 μl volume) as positive controls. After 40 h, IFNγ-producing cells were detected with biotinylated anti-human IFNγ antibodies (7-B6-1), streptavidin-ALP (both Mabtech) and ALP colour development buffer (Bio-Rad) and quantified using an ImmunoSpot Analyzer (Cellular Technology Ltd). Quality control was performed and reviewed by a second person. For categorization of T cell responses, transient T cell responses were defined as a spot count above 50 followed by a spot count of less than 50 at EOS. Sustained T cell responses were defined as a spot count above 50 followed by a spot count of more than 50 at EOS.

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.
