Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transfer of AM14 (16 (link)) and B1-8 B cells (44 (link)) has been described previously. Briefly, B cells were isolated from single cell suspensions of splenocytes using the EasySep Mouse B Cell Enrichment kit (StemCell Technologies, Vancouver, Canada) per manufacturer's instructions. Purity was verified to be 90-95% by flow cytometry. 3 million AM14 B cells or B1-8 B cells containing 200,000 NP-specific cells in sterile PBS were injected i.v. into recipient mice.

Naïve B cells from splenic cell suspensions were negatively selected using EasySep Mouse B cell Enrichment Kit, following the manufacturer’s instructions (StemCell). Purified B cells were suspended in RPMI containing 10% FBS, L-glutamine, and 50μM β-mercaptoethanol (complete medium). For immunoglobulin (Ig) synthesis, naïve B cells (106 cell per ml) were cultures in complete medium alone, with LPS (20μg per ml; Sigma-Aldrich) or anti-mouse CD40 (100ng per ml; Pharmingen). Supernatants were collected after 6 days and analyzed for various Ig production by Pierce ELISA Mouse mAb Isotyping Kit, following the manufacturer’s instructions (Thermo Scientific). Proliferation was measured using Cell Proliferation Kit I (MTT), following the manufacturer’s instructions (Roche). For proliferation, aliquots of 105 B cell in 100μl of complete medium alone, or in presence LPS (20μg per ml) or anti-mouse CD40 (100ng per ml) were cultured in a 96-well flat-bottom plate for 48 hours, then the MTT labeling reagent was added to a final concentration 0.5mg per ml following by overnight incubation with the solubilization solution. Proliferation was assessed by measuring the absorbance using a microplate (ELISA) reader.

Retroviruses were produced by transfecting retroviral packaging cell line BOSC23 (ATCC) with individual MSCV vectors as previously described [41 (link)]. Primary B cells were isolated from naïve C57BL6/J mouse spleens (8–12 weeks of age) by negative selection using the EasySep Mouse B cell Enrichment Kit (Stem Cell Technologies) per manufacturer’s instructions. Following overnight stimulation with LPS at 20-25ug/mL, primary B cells were transduced with retroviruses supplemented with 5ug/mL polybrene by spinoculation at 2500rpm for one hour at 30°C. Cells were analyzed by flow cytometry using three wells per condition at days 2–5 post-transduction. Supernatants were collected and stored at -80°C for subsequent analysis by ELISA. IL10 in primary B cell supernatants was measured using the BD OptEIA Mouse IL-10 ELISA Kit (BD biosciences) per manufacturer’s instructions.

Isolation and Purification of B-2 and B-1a Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To obtain B-2 cells, spleens were mechanically dissociated on 40-µm nylon cell strainers, followed by negative selection with the EasySep Mouse B Cell Enrichment Kit, which depleted CD43+ cells (Stemcell Technologies). B-2 cell purity was >90% as determined by flow cytometry. To obtain B-1a cells, peritoneal cells were harvested by injecting 7 mL RPMI, no phenol (Lonza), plus 3% newborn calf serum into the PerC. CD19+ CD22+ CD5+ B-1a cells were sorted as previously described to ∼95% purity (23 (link)). For B-2 versus B-1a experiments, 5 × 106 B-2 and B-1a cells were injected intraperitoneally. For other transfer experiments, 3 × 106 cells were used.

Eight-week-old male syngeneic immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice were injected i.p. (day 0) with 10×106 cells purified from the spleen of leukemic male Eμ-TCL1 transgenic mice using the EasySep mouse B-cell enrichment kit (STEMCELL Technologies). The purity of the transplanted CD19+ CD5+ Igκ+ cells was assessed by flow cytometry. Mice were monitored weekly for weight and leukemia development by flow cytometric analysis of PB samples. Mice were i.v. injected with 0.15mg/kg trabectedin every week starting when the frequency of CD19+CD5+ leukemic cells in the PB was 15–20%, compared to C57BL/6 wild-type mice. Mice were monitored weekly for weight and leukemia development by flow cytometric analysis of the PB samples and, depending on the last trabectedin injection, humanely killed at different time points. PE, PB, and organs (SP, LN, femoral BM) were collected and analyzed.

Fluorescently labeled B220+ idiotype B cells were sorted from the spleen of a Rag−/−564Igi mouse by flow cytometry using the MoFlo sorter. Cells were stained for flow cytometry according to standard procedures. B cells were stained with B6-256 anti-Id, as described [24 (link)], which was coupled to the Alexa-647® fluorophore according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Invitrogen Molecular Probes). B cells were also stained with an anti-CD45 (B220) antibody labeled with R-Phycoerythrin (PE) from Southern Biotech as a marker for B cells. Fluorescent antibodies were generally used at 1 µg/ml. B220+ GFP from 564Igi, 564Igi mb1-cre, 564Igi CD19cre and 564Igi CD21-cre BM and spleen cells were sorted and RNA prepared as described below. B cells from the spleen of an Aicda−/−564Igi mouse were purified using the EasySep Mouse B-Cell Enrichment kit (StemCell 19754), which isolates B cells by magnetic negative selection.

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.
