PBMC Isolation from Heparinized Blood

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral blood samples from the four groups were collected in heparin anti-coagulated vacutainer tubes (BD Pharmingen, CA, USA). After diluted twice by PBS, the blood was added carefully onto the Ficoll layer (Blood: PBS: Ficoll = 1:1:1) and centrifuged at 800 × g for 30 min with brake off. Mononuclear layer was obtained and washed twice by PBS. The PBMC aliquots were used immediately for Flow Cytometry Staining or stocked frozen in fetal calf serum containing 10% DMSO and 5% Dextran at −80°C until further test.

Isolation and Purification of Decidual and Peripheral Blood Gamma Delta T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Decidual sample isolation was performed according to previous report [34] . Brie y, fresh decidua samples were washed and minced into small pieces. Decidual tissues were released by digesting the tissues with 1 mg/mL collagenase type IV (Sigma, USA) and 150 U/mL of DNase I (Applichem, Germany) in RPMI 1640 medium for 1 hour at 37℃. The suspensions were strained through nylon mesh and then loaded onto a percoll density gradient (60%, 40%, 20%) to purify the lymphocytes. Blood samples were obtained in heparin anti-coagulated vacutainer tubes (BD Biosciences, USA). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated according to previous report [35] . The DICs and PBMCs were re-suspended in RPMI1640 supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin and streptomycin, and cultured at 37℃, 5% CO2.
Human γδ T cells isolation γδ T cells were separated from decidua and PBMCs by positively selection using a magnetic isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany) according to the manufacturer instructions. The purity of the enriched γδ T cells was evaluated by ow cytometry (Becton Dickinson, USA). The purity of the isolated cells exceeded 90%.

Blood was collected in heparin anti-coagulated vacutainer tubes (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Plasma HIV viremia was assessed by measuring plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load respectively using real time COBAS amplicor HIV PCR testing (Roche Molecular Systems Inc, Branchburg, NJ,USA). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated by density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll-Histopaque (Sigma- Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA).

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.
