Total RNA was purified from human tumor-infiltrating TREG (LINCD45+CD3+CD4+CXCR5CD127CD25+) and TFR (LINCD45+CD3+CD4+CXCR5+GITR+) cells using a miRNeasy kit (Qiagen) and quantified as described previously47 (link),49 (link). Cells from mice immunized with either OVA in Complete Freund’s adjuvant (InvivoGen), OVA in monophosphoryl lipid A (InvivoGen) or mock PBS—TEFF (CD19CD45+CD3+CD4+CXCR5GITRCD25CD62LCD44+), TREG (CD19CD45+CD3+CD4+CXCR5GITR+CD25+), TFH (CD19CD45+CD3+CD4+CXCR5+GITR) and TFR (CD19CD45+CD3+CD4+CXCR5+GITR+)—were sorted and RNA was purified as described above. RNA-seq libraries were prepared using Smart-seq2 protocol and sequenced on an Illumina platform, as previously described50 (link). Quality-control steps were applied as previously described47 (link). Samples that failed the quality controls or that had a low number of cells were excluded from further sequencing and analysis.

Neoantigen Vaccine and Checkpoint Inhibitor Study

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were prophylactically vaccinated subcutaneously with 100 ug of mRiok1 peptide in 100 uL PBS in combination with 1:1 volume of Complete Freund's Adjuvant (InvivoGen) (day -12). Blood was collected on day 7 and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) stained to confirm the presence of mRiok1-tet+ CD8 T cells (day -5). Mice were boosted with another shot of neoantigen vaccine, and tumor cells were injected 5 d after (day 0). When applicable, anti–PD-1 and/or anti–CTLA-4 treatment was given as described in the Antibody Treatment section. As controls, mice were immunized with either PBS or the mRiok1 peptide alone.

Vaccine Emulsion Preparation and Injection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The first vaccine emulsion was prepared by mixing Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (Invivogen) and R-P4 (20 μM dissolved in sterile PBS) at a ratio of 1:1. For the first vaccination, 100 μL of the emulsion was injected (IP) into male (n = 12) and female (n = 12) C57BL6/J mice (obtained from Jackson Laboratories). Fourteen days after initial vaccination, mice were injected with 100 μL of freshly prepared vaccine emulsion in InComplete Freund’s Adjuvant (Invivogen). Adjuvant-only emulsions were made by mixing the appropriate adjuvant in sterile PBS at a ratio of 1:1. Adjuvant-only control mice were injected (IP) in male (n = 12) and female (n = 12) mice on the same schedule as analog-vaccinated mice.

Adoptive Transfer and Immunization of OT-1 T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
OT-1 T cells (1 × 106) were transferred intravenously into C57BL/6J mice. Recipients were then immunized in the hind footpad with 500 μg ovalbumin (Sigma-Aldrich) in complete Freund’s adjuvant (InvivoGen). For IL-6 ICS, immunized mice were injected intravenously with 100 μg Brefeldin A (eBioscience) 4–5 h before being sacrificed. LNs were digested as previously described22 (link), and single-cell suspensions were incubated in Brefeldin A for an additional 2 h. Intracellular staining for IL-6 was performed using an Intracellular Fixation and Permeabilization Buffer Set (eBioscience).

EAE Induction and Clinical Scoring Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
EAE was induced 4 weeks after the tamoxifen treatment, by giving the mice a 200 µl subcutaneous injection containing 200 µg of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)35-55 (GenScript, New Jersey, USA) in a complete Freund´s adjuvant (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA, USA) containing 300 µg of M. tuberculosis (BD, Sparks, MD, USA). Simultaneously and 48 h later, mice were injected intraperitoneally with 300 ng of pertussis toxin (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Clinical manifestations of EAE were scored as follows: 0, no clinical manifestations; 1, tail paralysis; 2, hind limb paresis; 3, hind limb paralysis; 4, partial-fore limb paralysis. Intermediate 0.5 scores were assigned if the animals displayed the symptoms between the two scores. Tissue for histological and molecular biological analyses was taken from mice that had reached a certain score and remained at that score for 3 consecutive days (considered as peak of the disease). If no symptoms developed, animals were followed for a total of 26 days before they were killed.

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.
