NK cells were prepared from bone marrow or splenocytes of RAG−/− mice (B6.12957-RAG1tm1Mom, Jackson). Bone marrow from RAG−/− mice was cultured in complete media in the presence of recombinant human IL-2 (Proleukin) for seven days. On day 7, NK cells were harvested, plated at 3×105 cells/well and stimulated with 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5 or 10 ng/ml IL-12 (eBioscience). At each concentration of IL-12, NK cells were either stimulated with 50 U/ml TNF-α (eBioscience), 10 ng/ml Flt3L (eBioscience), 100 ng/ml Flt3L, or left unstimulated (37 (link), 38 (link)). Cells were incubated for 48 hours and IFN-γ production was measured by ELISA. Splenocytes from RAG−/− mice were cultured for 48 hours under the conditions described above, and expression of CD69 and KLRG1 was measured on NK cells by flow cytometry.

Following extracellular staining, cells were fixed with FoxP3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set for 30 min at room temperature and washed with 1x Permeabilization buffer (eBiosciences). Transcription factor antibodies were diluted in 1x FoxP3 Permeabilization buffer and cells were incubated for 30 min at room temperature.
To assess Eomes downregulation after culture in IL-12, 5 × 106 splenocytes were cultured in R-10 medium (RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS, 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin) with 300 IU/mL IL-2 with 20 ng/mL IL-12 (Pepro Tech). Unstimulated control wells contained only 300 IU/mL IL-2.
For detection of IFNγ production, 5 × 106 splenocytes were cultured for 5 hr in R-10, with the addition of 20 ng/mL IL-12, 20 ng/mL IL-12 + 5 ng/mL IL-18, or 0.5 μg/mL PMA + 4 μg/mL Ionomycin. Brefeldin A was added after 1 hr.

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.
