1.5 × 105 CD4+ CD25− T cells and 5.0 × 104 BM pDCs (3:1) were cultured in 96 well U-bottom polystyrene plates (Sigma-Aldrich Co., St Louis, MO) in the presence of recombinant interleukin-2 (IL-2) (final: 10 ng/1ml) (R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN) and platelet-derived tissue growth factor-β (TGF) (final: 10 ng/1ml) (R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN) at 37°C for 4 days. T cell/pDC ratio and time points are considered optimal for induction (unpublished data). To analyze for proliferative changes during culture, T cells were stained with Cell Proliferation Dye eFluor® 670 (eBiosciences, San Diego, CA) before culture at a 5 nM concentration. After 4 days in culture, cells were analyzed for FACS or for in vivo studies by adoptive transfer. All groups in in vitro experiments were done in triplicate. Cell cultures for adoptive transfer were upscaled by a factor of 2 i.e (3.0 × 105 CD4+ CD25 T cells and 1.0 ×105 BM pDCs) in the presence of doubled amount of IL-2 and TGF- β for 4 days incubation.

5.0 × 104 BM pDCs were plated on a 6.5mm transwell insert. Membrane pore size was sufficiently small to impede pDC migration. 1.5 × 105 CD4+ CD25− T cells were plated in the bottom of each well of a 24-well plate and filled with 1mL of growth media with recombinant interleukin-2 (IL-2) (final: 10 ng/1ml) (R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN) and platelet derived tissue growth factor-β (TGF) (final: 10 ng/1ml) (R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN). The transwell inserts were placed and the assay was incubated at 37°C for 4 days. After incubation, flow cytometry analysis was performed as detailed above.

Expansion and Transduction of Human γδ T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human γδ T cells were expanded and cultured from human PBMCs as described previously.50 In brief, whole blood (7.5–8 mL) was collected in a BD vacutainer CPT cell preparation tube with sodium heparin (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) and centrifuged to isolate PBMCs at the interphase. Murine γδ T cells were expanded from splenocytes of C3H mice. Human PBMCs or mouse splenocytes were then cultured in AIM V medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) with recombinant interleukin-2 (IL-2; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and zoledronate (Aclasta, Novartis, Switzerland) to final concentrations of 1,000 IU/mL and 5 μM, respectively, at the presence of tumor conditioned medium. On day 7, γδ T cells were sorted using a MoFlo XDP cell sorter (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA).
Sorted γδ T cells were seeded in a 24-well plate and infected with LV-hsa-mir-138 (GENECHEM, Shanghai, China) with 5 μg/mL polybrene, and stable clones were selected and maintained in medium described above with 0.5 μg/mL puromycin.

PG13 (ATCC CRL-10686), HEK293 (ATCC CRL-1573) and Phoe-nixGP (ATCC CRL-3215) cells were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium+ Glutamax (DMEM-Glutamax) with the addition of 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco, Billings, MT, USA). K562 (CCL-243), RPMI-8226 (ATCC CCL-155) and MM.1S (CRL-2974) were cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 media (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) enriched with 10% FBS. NK-92 cells (ATCC CSC-C0499) were maintained in Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)-grade SCGM media (Sartorius CellGenix, Freiburg, Germany) supplemented with 20% FBS and 500 IU/mL recombinant interleukin-2 (IL-2; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) every 2À3 days. Cells were cultured in antibiotic-free conditions and were verified to be mycoplasma free with regular testing. The cells were maintained in a 37°C, 5% CO 2 humidified incubator and split every 2À3 days.

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.
