Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single cell suspensions of splenocytes from gBT-I miR-150−/− and wild-type gBT-I (WT) mice were obtained by manual tissue dissociation through sieves. Untouched, naïve CD8+ cells were isolated by negative magnetic selection: Splenocytes were labeled with biotinylated antibodies to CD4 (GK1.5), CD19 (eBio1D3), CD16/32 (93), MHC-II I-A/I-D (M5/114.15.2) and Ter119 (Ter119) (Ebioscienes or Biolegend). Subsequently, cells bearing these markers were removed using magnetic streptavidin microbeads (Miltenyi). Equal numbers of each type of cell (1 × 104) were co-transferred intravenously (i.v.) into congenic B6-Ly5.2/Cr recipients. The next day we infected mice with either Listeria monocytogenes (Lm-gB) (5 × 103 CFU, i.v.) or vaccinia virus (VACV-gB) (2 × 105 PFU, i.p.), as previously described29 (link)30 (link). For co-transfers of phenotypically equivalent populations of miR-150−/− and WT CD8+ T cells, cells were magnetically enriched for untouched CD8+ cells and then sorted with an Aria cell sorter based on CD44 and CD122 expression patterns. Then equal numbers of miR-150−/− and WT cells from each corresponding subset were transferred into recipient mice, which were subsequently infected with LM-gB.

Blood was collected into EDTA-containing tubes via retro-orbital injection (under anesthesia) or cardiac puncture (from euthanized animals). Red blood cells were lysed using ACK lysis buffer (Thermo Fisher), and whole blood was stained with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies. Tumor cells were isolated, dissociated in DMEM/F12 media containing collagenase 20mg/ml (Worthington) for 60 mins at 37°C. Digested materials were passed through 100- and 70-µm nylon cell strainers and single-cell suspensions were prepared for subsequent staining. 20µl of Accucheck counting beads (Thermo Fisher) were added to calculate absolute cell numbers. For T cell analysis, single-cell suspensions were incubated with a biotinylated anti-TCRβ antibody for 20 mins at 4°C in the dark, followed by incubation with magnetic Streptavidin Microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) for 15 mins at 4°C in the dark. Cells were passed through LS column per the manufacturer’s instructions. Isolated TCRβ+cells were blocked from non-specific staining with anti-mouse CD16/32 and then stained with fixable viability dye and the indicated antibodies. Antibodies are listed in Supplementary Table 1. Data were acquired on BD Symphony flow cytometer. Compensation, analysis, and visualization of the flow cytometry data were performed using FlowJo v10.8 Software (BD Life Sciences, RRID:SCR_008520).
