Rat anti cd8a

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

The Rat anti-CD8a is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and analysis of CD8a expression on cells. CD8a is a cell surface glycoprotein that is expressed on a subset of T lymphocytes, known as cytotoxic T cells. This antibody can be used in various immunological techniques, such as flow cytometry, to identify and characterize CD8a-positive cells.

Multiparametric Immunostaining of Murine Lung Sections

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sequential immunostaining was performed on 3μm thick Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) murine lung sections. Briefly, heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate pH 6.0 (antibody Mix 1, ThermoFisher), or in EDTA pH 9.0 (antibody Mix 2, Novus) buffer. Antibody elution was performed between each staining cycle59 . Antibodies used in Mix 1 were; Rat anti-CD4 (1:200, ThermoFisher #14–9766-82), Rat anti-CD8a (1:200, ThermoFisher #14–0808-82) and Rat anti-B220 (1:500, Biolegend #103202). Antibodies used in Mix 2 were; Rabbit anti-IBA1 (1:1000, VWR #100369–764), Rabbit anti-iNOS (1:100, Abcam #ab15323) and Rabbit anti-CD206 (1:500, ProteinTech #18704–1-AP). Secondary antibodies used were: anti-Rabbit 555 (1:500, Cell Signaling #4413S), anti-Rabbit 647 (1:500, Cell Signaling #4414S) and anti-Rat 647 (1:500, Cell Signaling #4418S).
Acquired images were processed using FIJI and the FIJI plugin HyperStackReg V5.660 (and Ved Sharma. 2018, December 13). ImageJ plugin HyperStackReg V5.6 (Zenodo. http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2252521). Autofluorescence acquired in non-relevant channels was substracted as appropriate. IBA1 and iNOS staining quantitation was performed using Ilastik (v1.3.3post2)61 and CellProfiler (v3.1.9)62 .

Animal procedures and maintenance were conducted in accordance with the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health IACUC guidelines. Tumor tissue samples were collected, fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin, and paraffin embedded. Antigen retrieval was performed by heating the sections in 10mM citrate buffer (pH 6.0) in a decloaking chamber. Samples were incubated with rat anti-CD8a (Thermo Fisher Scientific #14080882, 1:500), rat anti-CD4 (Thermo Fisher Scientific #14976682, 1:500), or rat anti-FoxP3 (Thermo Fisher Scientific #14577382, 1:200). Sections were stained using the ImmPRESS HRP Goat Anti-Rat IgG Polymer Detection Kit (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, #MP-7404–50). Antibody binding was revealed by the addition of 3,3’-diaminobenzidine substrate (Vector Laboratories). Tissues were counterstained with Mayer’s hematoxylin (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Tissues were examined using an Olympus BX51 microscope. Quantitation of staining intensity was performed as previously described26 using FIJI.

Absolute and relative numbers of lymphocytes of various subpopulations in peripheral blood were counted using flow cytometry (Beckman Coulter). The following antibodies (eBioscience) were used for immune phenotypic analysis of the main subpopulations of lymphocytes: anti-rat CD3 (for T lymphocytes); anti-rat CD4 (for T helpers); anti-rat CD8a (for cytotoxic T cells); anti-rat CD45R (for B lymphocytes); anti-rat CD25 (for activated T cells); anti-mouse/rat Foxp3 (for regulatory T cells); and anti-rat CD314 (for NK cells). Erythrocytes were lysed with OptiLyse C solution (eBioscience).

Quantifying Tumor-Infiltrating CD8+ T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dissected B16F10 mouse tumors were embedded in Tissue-Tek OCT and frozen in liquid nitrogen. Sectioned specimens were washed with 1× PBS (pH 6.8) and incubated with glycine (0.1 M) for 30 min followed by incubation with 1% BSA for 1 h. These samples were then incubated overnight with anti-rat CD8a (eBIOSCIENCES) with a 1:100 dilution at 4°C. The slides were subsequently washed and incubated with secondary anti-rat conjugated to FITC antibodies (Invitrogen) with a 1:500 dilution at room temperature for 1 h. Nuclear staining was performed using Hoechst 33258 (Sigma-Aldrich) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Images were captured using a Leica Confocal Microscope and images were analyzed using LAS AF software (LEICA).

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.
