For intracellular staining, T cells were restimulated with 5 ng/ml PMA (Cayman Chemical) and 200 ng/ml ionomycin (Cayman Chemical) for 4 h in the presence of GolgiPlug (BD Pharmingen). Subsequently, surface staining was performed at 4°C for 30 min. Cells were fixed and permeabilized using Cytofix/Cytoperm plus Fixation/Permeabilization Kit (BD Pharmingen). For analysis of intranuclear markers, cells were fixed and stained using the FoxP3 intranuclear staining kit (eBioscience), again incubating cells at 4°C for 30 min both during fixation and intranuclear staining. Antibodies are summarized in Table 1. Analysis was performed using a Gallios Flow Cytometer (Beckman Coulter) and results were analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star).

Human monocytic THP-1 cells(ATCC TIB-202) were acquired from S. Minucci (IEO Milan, Italy) and maintained in Roswell Park Memorial Institute medium(RPMI 1640, Thermofisher) culture medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum(Gibco, 10270106), 1mM pyruvate(Life Technologies), 2mM GlutaMAX(Thermofisher, 35050-038). THP-1 monocytes are differentiated into macrophages by 48h incubation with 150nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate(PMA, Cayman Chemicals; Cay10008014) followed by 24h incubation in RPMI medium. Macrophages were polarized into M1 macrophages by incubation with 20ng/ml of IFNγ(R&D system, 285-IF) and 10pg/ml of LPS(Sigma, L2630). Macrophage M2 polarization was obtained by incubation with 20ng/ml of interleukin 4(Sigma, A3134) and 20ng/ml of interleukin 13(PeproTech, 200-13).

Cytochrome C reduction assays or Neutrophil/monocyte respiratory burst assay kits (Cayman chemical) were used. Freshly isolated CD66b+ LDNs and/or NDNs were washed and resuspended at 2x106 (link) cells/ml in Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) pH 7.4, supplemented with 10 % FBS, 0.5 mM CaCl2 and 1 mg/ml glucose. O2- production in response to 20 ng/ml PMA (Sigma) was assessed by the Cytochrome C reduction assay (Cayman), as previously described51 (link). For flow cytometry analysis of ROS, 1x105 (link) mononuclear cells or granulocytes were incubated with Dihydrorhodamine-123 (Cayman chemical) and left untreated or stimulated with PMA 20 ng/ml for 15 or 30 minutes. Cells were stained with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies as described above, acquired at FACSCanto II using DIVA software v8.0.2 (BD Biosciences) and analyzed with FlowJo v10.6.2 (TreeStar). LDNs and NDNs were identified after gating on Lin- CD15+ cells in the PBMC and granulocyte fraction, respectively. A detailed reagent list is reported in Supplementary Table 44.

Example 10

Vero-αHis cells were seeded in 15 cm cell culture dishes and infected with MeVac encoding anti-PD-L1, anti-CTLA-4, CD80-Fc or IgG1-Fc with M01=0.03. Supernatants were collected (15 ml per plate) when syncytia had spread over the whole cell layer (ca. 36 h post infection). 2×105 MC38cea cells were incubated with 2 ml medium collected from the Vero-αHis infected with the respective viruses for 5 min with rotation at room t° and pelleted by centrifugation 5 min at 300×g. The procedure was repeated six times. The treated cells were resuspended in 100 μl activation medium—RPMI 1640 supplemented with 5% FCS, 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin (Life Technologies), 500 μM ionomycin (Cayman Chemical Company, Hamburg, Germany) and 5 μM PMA (Cayman Chemical Company) and seeded in 96-well plate. 2×105 freshly isolated splenocytes from C57BL/6J mouse in 100 μl activation medium were added per each well with the treated MC38cea cells. Cells were cocultivated 24 h at 37° C. 5% CO2 and supernatants collected subsequently. IFN-γ concentration was determined using mouse IFN gamma ELISA Ready-SET-Go!® (eBioscience, Frankfurt am Main, Germany) according to the instructions of the manufacturer.

Neutrophil Degranulation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Neutrophil degranulation, based on the release of elastase into culture supernatants, was assessed using another DuoSet ELISA Development System (R&D Systems, Inc., Minneapolis, MN). In brief, cells were plated in 24-well dishes and grown until reaching 80% confluency; at that point, the medium was removed and the cells were then exposed to 50 μg AgNP/ml medium for 24 h. After this period, the cells were washed with fresh media and the media containing 1 μg/ml phorbol myristate acetate (PMA, Cayman) or medium only (for basal activity measurements) was then added to the cells. After 1 h, culture well supernatants were collected and neutrophil elastase was then quantified in the same manner as described in the section “Quantification of cytokine release by ELISA”.

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.
