IL-17A is a cytokine that plays a key role in the inflammatory response. It is produced by a variety of immune cells and is involved in the regulation of immune responses. The core function of IL-17A is to induce the production of other cytokines and chemokines, which can lead to the recruitment and activation of neutrophils and other inflammatory cells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ELISpot plates (MilliporeSigma) were coated with either IFNγ (BD Biosciences, #51–2525KZ), IL-17A (Invitrogen, #88–7371–88), or IL-5 (BD Biosciences, #51–1805KZ) capture antibodies at a 1:200 dilution in Dulbecco’s PBS (DPBS; Gibco). After overnight incubation at 4 oC, plates were washed and then blocked with complete RPMI (cRPMI) medium for at least 2 h. Splenocytes harvested as described above were plated at 2 × 105 cells per well. A subset of each sample was stimulated with PepMix SARS-CoV-2 (JPT Peptide Technologies, #PM-WCPV-S-1) at a final concentration of 1 µg/mL. Plates were then incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO2 for 48 h. After a wash with PBS with 0.1% Tween 20, 100 µL of detection antibody (IFNγ, BD Biosciences, #51–1818KA; IL-17A, Invitrogen, #88–7371–88; and IL-5, BD Biosciences, #51–1806KZ) was added at a 1:250 dilution in ELISpot diluent (eBioscience) overnight at 4 °C. Plates were washed and developed with Vector NovaRED Substrate Peroxidase (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA; #SK-4800) for 15 min. The reaction was stopped by washing the plates with deionized water, and plates were left to dry in the dark.

We followed the methods reported by Xu et al. for cell culture [21 (link)]. A 6-well assay plate precoated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 Ab (BD Pharmingen) was incubated at 37 °C for 4 h. Splenocytes (1 × 106 cells/well) were obtained from the spleens of 3 to 4-weeks-old mice and cultured for 3 d in 6-well plates in a medium containing TGF-β (2 ng/mL; Peprotech), IL-6 (20 ng/mL; Peprotech), anti-IFN-γ (10 μg/mL; eBioscience), and anti-IL-4 (10 μg/mL; eBioscience). These cells were treated with DMSO or Am80 (1 or 10 nmol/L) for 72 h and then collected for the Th17 cell differentiation test using flow cytometry, while the cell supernatants were used for the detection of IL-17A using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
The rat renal tubular epithelial cell line, NRK-52E, was purchased from GuangZhou Jennio Biotech and cultured in F12/DMEM (Hyclone) with 10% fetal calf serum (GIBCO). After pre-incubation in F12/DMEM without serum for 8 h, the NRK-52E cells were treated with PBS, TGF-β (10 ng/mL; Peprotech), IL-17A (10 ng/mL; Peprotech), or TGF-β (10 ng/mL) + IL-17A (10 ng/mL) for 48 h.

Spleens were aseptically removed from naïve WT, Il21r-/-, STAT3flox/flox or CD4stat3-/- mice and cells were mechanically disrupted through a 100 μm cell strainer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) using the plunger of a 6 ml syringe. RBCs were lysed in ACK lysing buffer (Lonza, Walkersville, MD), and the remaining cells were washed twice with ice-cold PBS. A total of 5×106 splenocytes were cultured in duplicate in 1 ml of RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS and 100 μg/ml penicillin/streptomycin (all from Gibco). Cells were allowed to rest for 2 additional hours at 37°C and subsequently were stimulated in the presence of recombinant murine IFN-γ, IL-17A, IL-21 and IL-22 (20 ng/ml; Peprotech, Rocky Hill, New Jersey, USA) alone or in combination (IFN-γ+IL-17A; IFN-γ+IL-21; IFN-γ+IL-22; 20 ng/ml each). Cells receiving no cytokine treatments were used as controls. Cells were harvested at different intervals following the addition of cytokines and were stained with indicated antibodies.

Primary renal tubular epithelial cells (RTEC) from C57BL/6J mice (Cell Biologics, Chicago, IL) were cultured as per manufacturer’s instructions. RTEC (1x106 cells/well) were treated with IL-17A (50 or 200 ng/ml) or TNFα (5 ng/ml) or IL-17C (50 or 200 ng/ml) or IL-17F (50 or 200 ng/ml) and IL-17 and TNFα in combination for 24 h. Recombinant murine IL-17A, IL-17C, IL-17F and TNFα were purchased from Peprotech (Rocky Hill, NJ).
Bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) from C57BL/6J mice were cultured for 7 days in the presence of L929 supernatants. BMDM and RTEC (1x106 cells/well) were treated with bradykinin (R&D Biosystems, Minneapolis MN) or left untreated for 24 h. LPS (Sigma Aldrich, St Louis, MO) was used as positive control. Supernatants were subjected to analyses using commercially available IL-6, IL-1β and TNFα ELISA kits (Ebiosciences, Dallas TX. Nitrite concentrations were measured by tri-iodide based reductive chemiluminescence as previously described [57 (link)]. Briefly, samples were injected into tri-iodine to reduce nitrite to NO gas that was detected by a Nitric Oxide Analyzer (Sievers, GE).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For macrophage and T cell coculture experiments, bone marrow–derived monocytes (BMDMs) were isolated and differentiated into macrophage as previously described. At day 0, BMDMs were seeded at 60,000 cells/cm2 and incubated at 37°C for 7 days in medium supplemented with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (100 ng/ml) (PeproTech) into a 12-well insert of a transwell plate (Corning). Naïve CD4+ T cells were isolated from murine lymph nodes at day 4 using a magnetic bead negative selection kit (Miltenyi). Then, T cells were seeded at 1 million cells/ml in 2 ml into six-well plates (Corning) in naïve condition supplemented with IL-2 (100 ng/ml) (PeproTech) or skewed toward the TH17 phenotype using a commercially available kit (R&D Systems). At day 7, differentiated macrophages were exposed to naïve and TH17 T cells at 250,000 cells/cm2 or IL-17A, IL-17F (PeproTech, 100 ng/ml), and control medium for 72 hours.
Fibroblasts were isolated using previously reported methods (45 ), seeded to T-75 tissue culture plates (Corning), and passaged once before reseeding at 50,000 cells/cm2 for 24 hours and exposed to IL-36γ (R&D Systems) or IL-17A (PeproTech) at 100 ng/ml for 24 hours. Cells were lysed using RLT plus buffer (Qiagen) reagent for quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

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.
