Negative selection

Manufactured by STEMCELL
Sourced in Canada

Negative selection is a technique used to isolate specific cell populations from a heterogeneous mixture. It involves the removal of unwanted cells, allowing the desired cells to be obtained. The core function of negative selection is to selectively deplete target cells, resulting in the enrichment of the cell type of interest.

All cells were grown at 37 °C under 5% CO2. PBMCs were thawed in RPMI 1640 with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, and rested overnight before stimulation with 15 ng/mL of anti-human CD3 antibody (clone OKT3, BioLegend) for 3 d in base media (RPMI 1640 with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin) containing 250 U IL-2 and 5 ng/mL IL-7 (hereafter termed IL-2/IL-7 media). OKT3 was removed after 3 d of activation and cells were maintained in IL-2/7 media at 1 × 106 cells/mL for 7 to 10 d before isolation of CD8+ T cells by negative selection (StemCell) for coculture experiments. Separately, autologous PBMCs were also used to isolate CD4+ T cells by negative selection (StemCell). CD4+ T cells were activated using Human T-Activator CD3/CD28 Dynabeads (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in RPMI 1640 with Glutamax, 10% FBS, and 1% penicillin/streptomycin and 30 U IL-2.
T2 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 + Glutamax with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin. RPMI 6666 cells were grown in the same media and used as an additional A2+ cell line for negative-selection stages of phage panning.

CD45RA-positive (CD45RA+) naive T cells were isolated via negative selection (StemCell, Vancouver) according to the manufacturer’s protocol and cocultured with MDMs from each control and experimental group. Specifically, isolated naive T cells were labeled with CellTRace CFSE cell proliferation dye (Thermo Fisher) per the manufacturer’s instructions. Naive T cells were then activated with soluble anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies (BD Biosciences) at 1 μg/mL and then cocultured with donor-matched MDMs that were previously skewed toward M2a or left unskewed and each treated with Atripla, Triumeq, or vehicle control. After 72 h, cells were collected, and CFSE intensity was assessed by flow cytometry using a BD LSRFortessa flow cytometer.

ILC2 were isolated as recently described (21 (link)). In brief, donor mice were hydrodynamically injected with 4 µg each of IL-25 and IL-33 vectors to induce ILC2. Three days postinjection (dpi), ILC2 were sort-purified from spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) and in vitro expanded as indicated above. OTII transgenic CD4+ T cells were purified by negative selection (Stemcell Technologies) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and assessed at ≥95% purity. One day prior to cell transfer, recipient mice were intraperitoneally (i.p.) immunized with 20 µg Ovalbumin (Invivogen) in 200 µl Imject Alum (Thermo Scientific). 2 × 106 CD4+ OTII T cells were co-transferred intravenously (i.v.) with 1 × 106 WT or Btn2a2–/–ILC2 into 8–14-week-old recipient hosts as indicated. Mice were sacrificed 3 days post adoptive cell transfer, and spleens were harvested for flow cytometric analyses.

Purification and Activation of Mouse T Cells

CD3+ cells were purified from 2–4 months old mouse spleens using MojoSort cell isolation kit (BioLegend). T cell activation was performed using low endotoxin, azide-free (LEAF) purified anti-mouse CD3 (Clone 145–2C11; 5 μg/mL) coated to the plate and LEAF Purified anti-mouse CD28 (clone 37.51; 2 μg/mL) in complete RPMI media for 24 or 48 h. Cytokine production was measured by LEGENDplex and confirmed by ELISA.
For T cell proliferation, CD4 T cells were isolated from spleen and LN of 10-week-old mice using negative selection (StemCell Technologies, Vancouver, Canada). CellTrace CFSE-labeled T cells were cocultured with anti-CD3/CD28-coated Dynabeads (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) at 1:1 ratio according to the manufacturer’s protocol in a U bottom 96-well plate for 96 h in presence of rmIL-2 (30 units/mL).

Casein (9%; Sigma-Aldrich) was injected i.p. 16 and 3 h before peritoneal lavage to induce sterile inflammation. Cell were recovered from the inflamed peritoneal cavity after lavage with 10 ml cold sterile PBS. Negative selection (STEMCELL Technologies) beads were used to enrich for neutrophils according to the manufacturer’s guidelines and generated >97% neutrophils. Neutrophils were plated at 2 × 106 cells/ml RPMI (Life Technologies) for functional analysis.

Neutrophils obtained after 4-day differentiation (“in vitro-derived”) were washed and labeled using CFSE (BioLegend). Murine bone marrow neutrophils were isolated by negative selection (StemCell Technologies) and immediately labeled alongside in vitro-derived neutrophils using CFSE. 96-well plates were coated for 1 hour at room temperature or overnight at 4 °C with 2.5, 5, or 7.5 µg/mL ICAM-1 and/or 2.5 µg/mL CXCL1 in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and then blocked with 1% casein (ThermoFisher) or 0.5% polyvinylpyrrolidone (Sigma Aldrich) in PBS for 2 hours at room temperature. Neutrophils were loaded into the 96-well plate at 0.5 × 106 neutrophils per well in Hank’s balanced salt solution containing Ca2+ and Mg2+ (HBSS++), and then incubated at 37 °C for 35 or 65 minutes. Following incubation, neutrophils were quantified by a plate reader for fluorescence intensity (CFSE), before and after sequential gentle washes with HBSS++. The number of adherent neutrophils was inspected visually by light microscopy to corroborate with plate reader signal intensity. Each group was replicated in three to six wells per independent experiment.

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.
