Characterization of PBMC Interactions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The characterization of PBMCs that were co-cultured for 1 hour with Vero E6 and TZM-bl cell monolayers was performed by staining with the following conjugated antibodies purchased from BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA): CD3-PE, CD8-APC-H7, CD56-BV605, TCRγδ-FITC, and CD107a-PE-Cy7. CD107a was used as a degranulation marker and its expression at the cell surface peaks within 1 hour of target cell engagement (35 (link)), being afterwards actively recycled from the cell surface (36 (link)). CD3+CD8- were assumed to be CD4+ T cells, which included those cells with downregulated CD4 expression caused by HIV-1 infection (37 (link)). Isotype controls were used to determine the background signal. Data acquisition was performed with BD LSRFortessa X-20 flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and data analysis with FlowJo software v10.0.7 (Tree Star Inc.). Gating strategy is shown in Supplementary Figure 1.

HLA-B57+ primary CD4 T cells were either stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28 or kept in culture with no stimulation. The magnetic anti-CD3/CD28 beads were removed at 48 h post-stimulation and, for each experiment, 2 million of non-stimulated and CD3/CD28-stimulated CD4 T cells were infected with 20 μg HIV Gag p24 equivalent of NL4–3-ΔEnv-GFP virus pseudotyped with Vesicular Stomatitis Virus glycoprotein (VSV-g) in the presence of 5 μg/mL polybrene (Sigma) by spinfection for 1 h at 2000 xg as in (36 (link)). At 3, 24 and 48 h post-infection, CD4 T cells were plated with epitope-specific CD8 T cells at a ratio of 1:5 (CD4:CD8) and an aliquot of CD4 T cells was also harvested to measure HIV-1 infection through GFP and HIV-1 p24 intracellular expression, cellular activation, and HLA class I surface expression by flow cytometry. After 30 min of co-culture, CD107a-PeCy7 (BD Biosciences) was added to each well to measure CTL degranulation. After 6 h cells were harvested for CD8 flow cytometry staining.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HLA-B57+ primary CD4 T cells were either treated with LRA, stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28 or kept in culture with no stimulation for 48 hours. The cells were thoroughly washed and magnetic anti-CD3/CD28 beads were removed. For each condition, 2 million of CD4 T cells were infected with 20 ug HIV Gag p24 equivalent of NL4-3-Δenv-GFP virus pseudotyped with Vesicular Stomatitis Virus glycoprotein (VSV-g) in the presence of 5ug/mL polybrene (Sigma) by spinfection for 1.5 h at 2000x g as in [37 (link)]. At 24, 48 and 72 h post-infection, CD4 T cells were plated with epitope-specific CD8 T cells at a ratio of 1:4 (CD4:CD8) and an aliquot of CD4 T cells was also harvested to measure HIV-1 infection through GFP and HIV-1 p24 intracellular expression, as well as cellular activation and HLA class I surface expression by flow cytometry. After 30 min of co-culture, CD107a-Pe-Cy7 (BD Biosciences) and CD28/CD49d antibodies (BD Biosciences) were added to each well to measure CTL degranulation. After 6 h cells were harvested for surface staining.
The avidity of the CTL clones was assessed by performing a concentration-course titration. Target HLA-B57 CD4 T cells were incubated with increasing concentration of the cognate peptides (0.000002–2 ug/mL) before co-culture with the corresponding CD8 T cells as described above.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Raji cell line was used as target to measure ADCC capacity of PBMCs of patients and donors, as described before [39 (link)]. Briefly, Raji cells were previously labeled with PKH67 Green Fluorescent Cell Linker (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) and then coated with rituximab (50 μg/mL) (Selleckhem, Houston, TX, USA) for 4 h. Labeled Raji cells were then cocultured for 18 h with PBMCs (1:2 ratio) from the recruited patients and healthy donors. Apoptosis of Raji cells was determined by staining with Annexin V conjugated with phycoerythrin (PE) (Immunostep, Salamanca, Spain). Cytotoxic cell populations such as natural killer (NK), NKT-like and TCRγδ+ cells were analyzed in the supernatants using specific conjugated antibodies: CD3-PE, CD56-BV605, CD16-PercP, CD8-APC H7, CD107a-PE-Cy7, and TCRγδ-FITC (BD Biosciences). Data acquisition was performed in a BD LSRFortessa X-20 flow cytometer and FACS Diva software (BD Biosciences). FlowJo software (Tree Star Inc.) was used for data analysis.

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.
