Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For RNA processing, cell sorting was performed on a high-speed Influx Cell Sorter or a FACSAria (100 µmol/L nozzle, both BD Biosciences) into RNA protect Cell Reagent (QIAGEN, #76526). Lymph node FRCs cell suspensions were sorted based on expression of Pdpn (clone #8.1.1) within the CD45 (clone #30-F11), and CD31 (clone #MEC13.3; all BioLegend) negative gate. RNA was then isolated with the RNeasy plus micro Kit (QIAGEN, #74034) or the ARCTURUS PicoPure RNA Isolation Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, #KIT0204) and RNA quality and quantity was analyzed with a Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies). Only RNA samples with a RNA integrity number (RIN) above 8 and total concentration of 100 pg/µL were further processed for whole transcriptome amplification via the Ovation PicoSL WTA V2 Kit (NuGEN, #3312). qRT-PCR using 20 ng cDNA input material was performed using TaqMan assays with the following primers/probes (all Applied Biosystems): Pdpn Mm01348912_g1, Thy1 Mm00493682_g1, Il7 Mm01295803_m1, and housekeeping gene Actb Mm00607939_s1. qRT-PCR was performed on a StepOne or ViiA 7 Real Time PCR System instrument in a relative quantification setting (both Life Technologies). Gene expression level are shown as 2–ddCt.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
mRNA was isolated from sorted populations using an RNeasy kit (Qiagen). cDNA from sorted iNKT cells was generated and amplified using an Ovation PicoSL WTA V2 kit (NuGen). Taqman probes (Applied Biosystems) for NKAP, Rag1 and Gapdh were used. An ABI StepOne Plus System (Applied Biosystems) was used and relative expression was calculated with the 2-ΔΔCT method (31 ). The relative mRNA expression of NKAP or Rag1 from the sorted iNKT cells was analyzed using Q-PCR. Statistics were calculated comparing NKAP expression in PLZF-cre NKAP cKO to WT cells using unpaired student’s t test.

Isolation and Analysis of CD4+ T Cell Subsets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To isolate CD4+ T cells, splenocytes from Rag1-GFP WT and Rag1-GFP CD4-cre HDAC3 cKO mice were harvested and negatively selected from biotin-labeled populations (the biotin-cocktail contained B220, CD11b, Ter119, Gr-1, CD19, CD11c) using magnetic bead selection (Miltenyi Biotec). WT splenocytes lacking the Rag1-GFP reporter was used to to define gates for Rag1-GFP+ (RTE) and Rag1-GFP (MNT) populations. All sorting was done on a FACSAria (BD Bioscience). mRNA was later isolated from sorted CD4+ RTEs (CD44CD62L+Rag1-GFP+), CD4+ MNTs (CD44CD62L+Rag1-GFP), and memory CD4+ T cells (CD44+CD62LRag1-GFP), with an RNeasy Mini kit (QIAGEN). cDNA was generated and amplified with the Ovation PicoSL WTA V2 kit (NuGen). mRNA expression was analyzed using TaqMan probes (Applied Biosystems) for HDAC3, St8sia1, St8sia4, St8sia6, and 18S rRNA as an internal control. An ABI RT-PCR StepOne Plus System (Applied Biosystems) was used and, and gene expression calculated via the 2-ΔΔCT method.

Isolation and Analysis of Splenic CD4+ RTEs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To isolate splenic CD4+ RTEs, cells from Rag1-GFP WT and Rag1-GFP CD4-cre Runx1 cKO mice were harvested and first subject to negative selection using a biotin-labeled cocktail of antibodies (B220, CD11b, Ter119, Gr-1, CD19, CD11c and CD8) to eliminate unwanted populations using magnetic bead selection (Miltenyi Biotec) prior to sorting. All sorting was done on a FACSAria (BD Bioscience), and RTEs were sorted by gating on CD4+ CD44CD62L+ Rag1-GFP+. mRNA was later isolated from sorted CD4+ RTEs using an RNeasy Mini kit (QIAGEN). cDNA was then generated and amplified with the Ovation PicoSL WTA V2 kit (NuGen). The mRNA expression was measured using TaqMan probes (Applied Biosystems) for ST8Sia1, ST8Sia4, ST8Sia6, ST3Gal1, ST3Gal2 and ST3Gal6. TaqMan probe for 18S rRNA is used as the internal control. Samples were analyzed using an ABI RT-PCR StepOne Plus System (Applied Biosystems), and relative gene expression was calculated via the 2-ΔΔCT method. Data shown is from independent isolations of CD4+ RTEs from 3 Rag1-GFP WT and 3 Rag1-GFP CD4-cre Runx1 cKO mice.

cDNA was generated and amplified using an Ovation PicoSL WTA V2 kit (NuGen) from mRNA (Qiagen RNase mini kit) isolated from sorted iNKT cells. Taqman Hdac3 and Gapdh gene expression assays were purchased from Applied Biosystems. The Taqman assay Hdac3 spanned a deleted exon (exon 7) in the Hdac3 gene. Relative expression of Hdac3 was calculated using 2−ΔΔCT method54 (link), q-PCR was performed in ABI RT-PCR StepOne Plus System (Applied Biosystems). Hdac3 expression was calculated relative to WT Stage 3 (=1).

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.
