Thawed PBMC were resuspended in PBS 1X and labeled with 0.6 μM CFSE (Molecular Probes, Eugene, Oregon). CFSE labeled PBMCs were stimulated with 2 μg/mL of HIV consensus B peptides identified in the ELISPOT assay; Gag7876 (EKIRLRPGGKKKYKL) for subjects NF-1042 and KBC-1035, Gag937 (IYKRWIILGLNKIVR) for subject RJP-1038 and Pol5683 (TAVQMAVFIHNFKRK) for subject ST-1041, in RPMI-1640 containing 10% human AB serum (Gemini, Burlington, ON). Stimulation with media alone served as a negative control, whereas stimulation with 25 ng/ml of Staphylococcol enterotoxin B (SEB) (Sigma-Aldrich) and 2 μg/mL of CEFT (CMV, EBV, Influenza and Tetanus peptides) were used as positive control stimulations. Monoclonal antibodies directed against immune checkpoint molecules (PD-1, CD160 or HVEM) along with their corresponding isotype controls were added to the culture conditions at 5 μg/mL. All stimulatory conditions were tested in quadruplicates. Following six days of incubation at 37°C and 5% CO2, cells were monitored for viability with the Trypan blue exclusion test and further stained for cell surface markers using Live/Dead (Molecular Probes), αCD3, αCD8 (ebioscience), and αCD4 mAbs (BD Biosciences, Mississauga, ON). PBMCs were acquired using a BD LSRII flow cytometer and analyzed with FlowJo software version 9.4.11 (FlowJo LLC, Ashland, Oregon).

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.
