NK Cell Cytotoxicity Assay with Engineered Endothelial Cells

Mouse NK cells were isolated from fresh BALB/c or C57BL/6 spleens 18 h after poly I:C injection (100 μg intraperitoneally). After red cell lysis, NK cells were purified with MagniSort Mouse NK cell Enrichment Kit (Invitrogen), followed by CD49b MACS-sorting (Miltenyi). This cell population was highly selected for NK cells with a purity of >9%. Human NK cells from PBMCs were purchased from StemCell Technologies containing >99% NK cells.
NK cell killing assays were performed on the XCelligence SP platform (ACEA BioSciences). 96-well E-plates (ACEA BioSciences) were coated with collagen (Sigma-Aldrich) and 4 × 105 WT, B2m−/−Ciita−/−, or B2m−/−Ciita−/− Cd47 tg miECs or WT, B2M−/−CIITA−/− or B2M−/−CIITA−/− CD47 tg hiECs were plated in 100 μl cell-specific media containing 1 ng ml−1 mouse or human IL-2 (Peprotech). After the Cell Index value reached 0.7, NK cells were added with an effector cell / target cell (E/T) ratio of 0.5/1, 0.8/1 or 1/1. As a negative control, cell treated with 2% Triton X100 was used. Some wells were pretreated with mouse Cd47 or human CD47-blocking antibody (BioXCell) with 10 μg ml−1 media for 2 h. Data were standardized and analyzed with the RTCA software (ACEA).

NK cell killing assays and macrophage killing assays were performed on the XCelligence SP platform and MP platform (ACEA Biosciences). Special 96-well E-plates (ACEA Biosciences) were coated with collagen (Sigma-Aldrich), and 4 × 105 WT, B2M/CIITA/, B2M/CIITA/ CD47 tg, and B2M/CIITA/ rhCD47 tg hiECs were plated in 100 µl cell-specific medium. After the cell index value reached 0.7, rhesus NK cells or rhesus macrophages were added with an E:T ratio of 0.5:1, 0.8:1, or 1:1 with or without 1 ng/ml rhesus IL-2 (MyBioSource). As a negative control, cells were treated with 2% Triton X-100 in cell-specific media (data not shown). Data were standardized and analyzed with the RTCA software (ACEA Biosciences).

Modulation of NK and Macrophage Cytotoxicity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NK cell killing assays and macrophage killing assays were performed on the XCelligence SP platform and MP platform (ACEA Biosciences). Special 96-well E-plates (ACEA Biosciences) were coated with collagen (Sigma-Aldrich) and 4 × 105 WT, B2M/CIITA/, or B2M/CIITA/ CD47 tg (pooled or single clones) hiECs were plated in 100 µl cell-specific medium. After the cell index value reached 0.7, human NK cells or human macrophages were added at an E:T ratio of 0.5:1, 0.8:1, or 1:1 with or without 1 ng/ml human IL-2 or human IL-15 (both from PeproTech). In some cases, NK cells were pretreated with human FcR block (catalog no. 130–059-901, concentration 1:5; Miltenyi) for 4 h before addition of target cells. As a negative control, cells were treated with 2% Triton X-100 in cell-specific media (data not shown).
Some wells were pretreated with an anti-CD47 blocking antibody (10 µg/ml, clone B6.H12, mouse IgG1,κ; BioXCell) for 2 h and during the assay or with an anti-SIRPα blocking peptide (2 µg/ml, catalog no. MBS822365; MyBioSource) for 2 h and during the assay. In some cases, cells were treated with an activating anti-LILRB1 antibody (clone GHI/75, mouse IgG2b; Abcam) at a concentration of 1 µg/ml. Data were standardized and analyzed with the RTCA software (ACEA Biosciences).

Real-time Cytotoxicity Assays on iECs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Real-time killing assays were performed on the XCelligence SP platform and MP platform (ACEA Biosciences). Special 96-well E-plates (ACEA Biosciences) coated with collagen (Sigma-Aldrich) were used. A total of 4 × 104 mouse iECs were plated in 100 μl of medium. After the cell index reached 0.7, we added 4 × 104 C57BL/6 6 NK cells to ADCC assays or 50 μl of C57BL/6 serum to CDC assays. The following antibodies were used and added after mixing with the NK cells in 50 μl of medium or in the serum as indicated: mouse IgG2a anti-H-2b (BioXCell, clone AF6-88.5.5.3, BE0121) and humanized anti-CD52 IgG1 (alemtuzumab, ichorbio, ICH4002). Different concentrations ranging from 0.0001 μg ml−1 to 1 μg ml−1 were used. As a negative control, cells were treated with 2% Triton X-100 in medium. Data were standardized and analyzed with RTCA Pro 2.3.2 software (ACEA Biosciences).

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.
