Brains from 40 adult naïve C57BL/6 mice were extracted, pooled, dissociated using Accutase, and purified using 40% Percoll as described above. Cells were counted, and an aliquot was removed for control single stains and FMO tubes. Fc receptors were blocked, and live cells were labeled with Calcein Violet AM as before. Cells were then stained with a cocktail of anti-A2B5, PDGFRα, NG2, O4, GALC, and MOG in flow cytometry buffer for 30 min at 4°C. Cells were washed twice and resuspended in flow cytometry buffer. Early OPCs (A2B5+PDGFRα+), intermediate OPCs (O4+NG2+), and mature oligodendrocytes (GALC+MOG+) were sorted by FACS into lysis/binding buffer (Miltenyi Biotec) using a FACSAria 5 (BD Biosciences). Sorted cells were stored at −80°C. After thawing on ice, total RNA was isolated using µMACS mRNA Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec) and cDNA was synthesized on column with µMACS One-step cDNA Synthesis Kit (Miltenyi Biotec). Gene expression was analyzed by qRT-PCR using specific primers (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, Table S2), RT2 SYBR Green FAST Mastermix (Qiagen), and an iQ5 real-time PCR detection system (Biorad, Hercules, CA). Results were standardized to a housekeeping gene and normalized to gene expression in the A2B5+PDGFRα+ sorted early OPC population. Data is plotted as relative expression ± SD of technical replicates.

Stable Cell Line Generation Protocols

HEK293T, MDCK, and COS-7 cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection. A431D cells were provided by Sergey Troyanovsky (Northwestern University, Chicago, IL). All cell types listed were maintained in DMEM (Corning, New York, NY) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Atlanta Biologicals or JRS Scientific, Woodland, CA), 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Corning). To generate the myr-E-cad cyto HEK293T stable line, cells were transfected with the myristoylated human E-cadherin cytoplasmic domain plasmid and the hygromycin resistance vector pCB7 (Michael Roth, UT Southwestern, Dallas, TX) in a 1:10 ratio using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Cells were selected with 0.25 mg/ml hygromycin B (Calbiochem), and drug-resistant colonies were pooled. To generate E-cadherin-Dendra2 lines, cells were transfected with E-cadherin-Dendra2 using Effectene (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and selected with 800 μg/ml G418 (Corning). Resistant colonies were pooled and sorted for Dendra2 fluorescence by flow cytometry using a MoFlo Legacy (BD Biosciences) or FacsAria5 (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). IL2R-E-cadherin lines were generated by transfection of IL2R-E-cadherin with the G418 resistance vector pcDNA3 in a ratio of 1:10 using Effectene, selection with 800 μg/ml G418, and pooling of resistant colonies.

Multiparameter PBMC Isolation and Sorting

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
From the S4 cohort, ∼2-3x108 PBMCs were separated into CD3+ and CD3- populations using magnetic beads (Figure 1). The CD3+ fraction was then split into two equally sized aliquots for T cell staining with either antibody panel 1 or 2. The CD3- fraction was also split into two aliquots: one aliquot (60%) for B cell and progenitor-cell staining with panel 3, and one aliquot (40%) for monocyte, DCs, NK cells and LD granulocyte staining with panel 4. After staining, the immune cells were sorted using a BD Influx for panel 1 and 3, a FACS Aria 5 for panel 2, and a FACS Aria 4 for panel 4 (all BD Biosciences). All cells were stained and sorted within 7 h after blood collection and kept on ice between processing steps. Sorting was performed to > 98% purity and then cells were lysed in TRIzol® reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and stored at −80°C.

Regulated Cell Adhesion Disruption

MDCK, A431D, and DLD1 cells (American Type Culture Collection) and DLD1 R2/7 αCat-deficient colon carcinoma cells (a gift from F. van Roy, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium) were maintained in DMEM (Corning), containing 10% FBS (Atlanta Biologicals or JRS Scientific), 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100 µg/ml streptomycin (Corning). iDimerize cell lines were sorted for positive selection of mCherry fluorescence by flow cytometry using FACSAria 5 (BD Biosciences). mCherry FLαCat or FLαCatKKR<3A cell lines were selected in 5 µg/ml puromycin (Sigma-Aldrich) and were subsequently sorted for mCherry expression using flow cytometry. In drug treatment assays, cells were treated with one of the following: DMSO control (Sigma-Aldrich) or 1–20 µM wortmannin (W1628; Sigma-Aldrich) for 3 h. In forced-dimerization assays, cells were treated with 25, 250, or 500 nM B/B homodimer (635059; Clontech) for 20 min to 15 h, which was sometimes followed by treatment with 1 µM washout ligand (635088; Clontech).

Retroviral Transduction of γδ T Cells

We cloned full-length cDNA of TCRγ and TCRδ chains, separated by self-cleaving T2A sequence, of either the 9C2 TCR28 (link) or GD8 TCR into the MSGV retroviral expression vector (Addgene #107226). CD8+ T cells were retrovirally transduced with GD8, 9C2, or FMC63-28Z anti-CD19 CAR as previously described73 (link) and sorted on a BD FACSARIA 5 (BD Bioscience) for γδTCR+ cells one day post transduction (Supplementary Fig. 6a). After two days of expansion following sorting, γδ TCR and CD1d-PBS-57 staining was assessed by flow cytometry.

Isolation and Single-Cell Analysis of γδ T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fresh tumor biopsy obtained from one PCGDTL patient (GD42) was obtained. Tissue was washed in PBS and digested overnight in a shaker in 60% RPMI and 40% dispase (StemCell Technologies). Tissue was washed in RPMI and filtered through a 70 μM filter. Cells were analyzed by flow cytometry for CD3, γδTCR, Vδ1, Vδ2, Vγ9 and live/dead staining. Live, CD3+, γδTCR+ were sorted using a BD FACSAria 5 and scRNA-seq performed via 10× Genomics single cell V(D)J analysis per the manufacturer’s instructions. To amplify γδ TCR transcripts, outer and inner enrichment primers targeting TRD and TRG gene constant regions (sequences listed below) were designed similar to the approach to αβ TCR transcript amplification, and all steps were performed per manufacturer instructions with the modification of replacing αβ TCR primers with γδ TCR primers, listed below.
TRD outer: 5′-GCTTGACAGCATTGTACTTCC-3′
TRD inner: 5′-GACAAAAACGGATGGTTTGG-3′
TRG outer: 5′-CATGTATGTGTCGTTAGTCTTCATG-3′
TRG inner: 5′-AGGAAGAAAAATAGTGGGCTTG-3′

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.
