Patient 355 (59-year old Male, infected with genotype 1a HCV, baseline viral load 467 000 IU/ml) received a prime vaccination of ChAd3-NSmut (2.5 × 1010 viral particles) and an MVA-NSmut (2 × 108 plaque forming units) boost vaccination 8 weeks later. PBMC were collected 14 weeks post-boost vaccination for assessment of single cell gene expression (22 ). PBMC were thawed and prestained with a live/dead marker (Life Technologies, cat# L34976) and a PE-conjugated pentamer reagent (PE-labeled HCV NS31406–1415 (KLSALGINAV; HLA-A*0201)). The cells were then stained with the following antibodies: FITC 2B4 (BioLegend, cat# 329505), PerCP-eFluor 710 LAG3 (eBioscience, cat# 46–2239), PE-Cy7 CCR7 (BioLegend, cat# 329919), APC CD39 (BioLegend, cat# 328209), BV421 PD1 (BioLegend, cat# 329919), BV510 CD3 (BioLegend, cat# 317332), BV605 CD8A (BioLegend, cat# 301040), BV780 CD45RA (BioLegend, cat# 304140).

A healthy volunteer was vaccinated with a single dose (0.5 ml containing at least 105 PFU) of 17D live-attenuated yellow fever vaccine strain administered subcutaneously. Seroconversion after vaccination was confirmed by assaying the neutralizing antibody titers for YF-17D (data not shown). A whole blood sample was obtained 9 months post-vaccination and lymphocytes were enriched from whole blood via Ficoll gradient centrifugation and a CD8 negative selection magnetic bead kit (Miltenyi Biotec). Cells were prestained with a live/dead marker (Life Technologies, cat# L34976) and an APC-labeled tetramer reagent (NS4B 214–222 LLWNGPMAV, kindly provided by Dr Rafi Ahmed).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Regulatory T cells (Treg) were defined as CD4+CD25+CD127low/- cells. Other CD4+T subsets were identified by differential expression of CCR4, CXCR3, and CCR6 as previously reported (7 (link), 9 (link)): CXCR3+CCR4CCR6− (Th1), CXCR3CCR4+CCR6 (Th2), CXCR3CCR4+CCR6+(Th17), and CXCR3+CCR4CCR6+ (Th1Th17) (Figure 1). In addition, Th17 cells were defined as the summation of CXCR3CCR4+CCR6+ (Th17) and CXCR3+CCR4CCR6+(Th1Th17).
The fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies used for polychromatic flow cytometry analysis were CD3-BV510 (Biolegend, USA, catalog no. 317332), CD4-APC-Cy7 (Biolegend, USA, catalog no. 317418), CCR4-APC (Biolegend, USA, catalog no. 359404), CXCR3-PE (Biolegend, USA, catalog no. 353706), CCR6-PE-Cy7 (Biolegend, USA, catalog no. 353418), CD25-BV421 (Biolegend, USA, catalog no. 302630), CD127-FITC (Biolegend, USA, catalog no. 351312), PE-Cy7-CCR7 (Biolegend, USA, catalog no. 353226) and CD62L-FITC (Biolegend, USA, catalog no. 304804).

To detect intracellular cytokines, CD8+T cells were stimulated for 6 h with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; 1 μg/mL; Sigma) and ionomycin (1 μg/mL; Sigma), and 4 h with GolgiStop (1 μL/mL; BD Biosciences) in a round-bottom 96-well plate. Thereafter, cells were harvested, stained for surface expression, and then fixed and permeabilized for intracellular staining. Flow cytometry data was analyzed using FlowJo software (BD, UK) and CytoExpert software (Beckman Coulter, U.S.A.).

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.
