Whole blood was lysed with RBC lysing solution (BioLegend). Cells were washed and the cell count was performed by MACSQuant cytometer. Cells were resuspended in RPMI 1640 with 10% fetal calf serum (Biological Industries, Kibbutz Beit Haemek, Israel), 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100 mg/ml streptomycin (Biowhittaker, Verviers, Belgium) at 2 × 106 cells/ml. In 24 plate-wells, 500 μl of RPMI 1640 with 10% fetal calf serum or 0.22 μm filtered medium RPMI supplemented with 10% of pleural fluid from LAC was added to the wells. 3 × 105 cells were added in 3 μm pore-size filters (Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA) and incubated for 4 h at 37ΊC. After culture, healthy donor cells that migrated towards the medium or pleural fluids were collected from the wells, washed with PBS and stained with anti-CD3-PECy5, CD4-PECy7 (BioLegend) and CD20-FITC (Immunotools) monoclonal antibodies for 20 min. Cells were washed and resuspended in 300 μl of PBS to be acquired by flow cytometry. To analyze the migration fold of cells towards the pleural fluids, we calculated the relative cell migration that is the ratio between the absolute numbers of CD4+ T, CD8+ T cells and CD20+ B cells that migrate to the medium supplemented with pleural fluid and the absolute cell numbers of each respective subset that migrate to the medium.

Lung tissue was chopped and digested using collagenase D (Roche Diagnosis) in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) for 30 min at 37 °C with agitation. Next, the chopped lung or spleen tissue was passed through a 40-μm cell strainer to obtain single-cell suspensions before RBC lysis. Cells were incubated with LIVE/DEAD Aqua (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Cells were stained with the following monoclonal antibodies: anti-mouse CD45-PerCP-Cy5.5 (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA), CD4-PE-Cy7 (BioLegend), CD25-PE (eBioscience), and Foxp3-APC (eBioscience, Waltham, MA, USA). Flow cytometry analysis was performed using a BD FACSCanto II flow cytometer (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA, USA), and the results were analyzed using FlowJo software (TreeStar, Ashland, OR, USA).

Flow Cytometry Assay for CD4+ and CD8+ T Cell Responses

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses were measured from blood and tissues by flow cytometric ICS, as previously described.54 (link) Briefly, 1 × 106 mononuclear cells were incubated with Gag or Vif open-reading frame pools and the co-stimulatory molecules CD28 and CD49d (BD Biosciences) for 1 hour, followed by addition of Brefeldin A (Sigma-Aldrich) for an additional 8 h. Co-stimulation without antigen served as a background control, while incubation with Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B (Toxin Technology) served as the positive control. The cells were then labeled with CD4 PE-Cy7 (Biolegend) and CD8 PerCP-Cy5.5 (BD Biosciences) and fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde. After permeabilization, the cells were stained with CD3 Pacific Blue, IFN-γ APC, TNF-α FITC (BD Biosciences, all), and CD69 PE-Texas Red (Beckman Coulter). The cells were fixed and flow cytometric analysis was performed on an LSR-II instrument (BD Biosciences). Analysis was done using FlowJo software (Tree Star, Ashland, OR). In some cases, cells were CD25-depleted prior to setting up the ICS experiment to remove T regulatory cells (Miltenyi Biotec).

Multicolor Leukocyte Immunophenotyping in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For leukocyte immunostaining, mouse blood, spleen and colon samples were obtained to prepare single cell suspensions. The fixable viability dye eFluor® 780 (eBioscience, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA) was used to label dead cells. To block nonspecific binding of Fc receptors, cells were pre-incubated with a purified anti-CD16/32 antibody for 10 min on ice prior to immunostaining. Then, the cells were stained with the appropriate combination of the following fluorochrome-conjugated mAbs against mouse CD11b (FITC), CD3ε (FITC), CD8α (PE), NK1.1 (PE), F4/80 (PE), Gr-1 (APC), CD19 (APC), CD4 (PE/CY7) or C5aR-1 (PE) (Biolegend, San Diego, CA) on ice for 30 min according to the manufacturer's instructions, in which the fluorochrome-conjugated isotype-specific IgGs were treated as controls to determine the quadrants and gates. All samples were assayed by a BD FACSCantoTM II Cell Analyzer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA), and the data were analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star, Ashland, OR).

Immunophenotyping of PBMC Populations

PBMC were washed and maintained in MACS buffer (Miltenyi Biotech, Auburn, CA, USA) during the staining protocol for specific cell markers. Cells were stained first with viability marker according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Thermo Fisher Scientific LIVE/DEAD Fixable Aqua Dead Cell Stain Kit, Eugene, OR, USA) followed by incubation with an FcR block (BD Pharmingen) and, afterward, with specific Abs to the corresponding extracellular markers such as CD3-FITC and CD4-PE-Cy7 (both from BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA), and CD25-allophycocyanin (eBioscience) were applied. To stain for intracellular markers, the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (eBiosciences) was used as described previously with anti-Foxp3-eFluor 450 Ab (Invitrogen) [17 (link)]. The appropriate isotype control Abs were applied to separate control tubes as described and the staining profile was used to establish the negative gate [17 (link)]. After a final wash, either 10,000 cells/tube or 30,000 cells/tube out of 1 × 106 cells/tube placed in MACS buffer were acquired in logarithmic scales and analyzed with the BD LSR Fortessa flow cytometer. FlowJo software was used for the live cell gating and their further analysis.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from HIV- and HCV- healthy donors were isolated via Ficoll-paque density centrifugation. CD4 T cells were then isolated by negative selection (Stem Cell, Easy Sep) and resting CD4 T cells were obtained from this population by depleting cells expressing HLA-DR, CD25 and CD69 (Miltenyi). Resting CD4 T cells were stained in bulk for 1) CD99-FITC (Biolegend), CCR10-APC (BD Biosciences), and Propridium Iodide to distinguish viable cells; 2) CD4-PeCy7 only (Biolegend); or 3) CD45RA-PE (Biolegend) and CD45RO-APC (Biolegend). These three populations of cells were sorted independently on the MoFlo.

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.
