Human leukemia cell lines MV4-11 and Kasumi-1 were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC; Rockville, MD, USA). MV4-11 and Kasumi-1 cells were cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI)-1640 medium supplemented with 10% and 20% fetal bovine serum, respectively. Cell density was kept between 1×105 and 1×106 cells/mL. Cells were cultured at 37 ℃ in a humid incubator supplied with 5% CO2.
Primary CD34+ cells were isolated from cord blood with donors’ consent using the commercial isolation kit (STEMCELL Technologies, EasySepTM Human CD34 Positive Selection Kit II, Canada). CD34+ cells were cultured in StemSpan SFEM II (STEMCELL Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada) supplemented with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (FLT3L; 100 ng/mL), thrombopoietin (100 ng/mL), and stem cell factor (100 ng/mL; PeproTech, East Windsor, NJ, USA).

Bone marrow from naïve mice were used to generate bone marrow-derived eosinophils as previously described (10 (link)). Therefore, isolated bone marrow was counted using the CASY® TT- cell counter system and cells were seeded in in Advanced RPMI medium with 20% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 0.1% gentamycin, 2.5% HEPES and 1% Glutamax (Thermo Fisher Scientific GmbH, Germany). Cells were cultured with Stem cell factor (SCF) and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (FLT3L) (Peprotech, Rocky Hill, USA) for the first 4 days. Afterwards the growth factors were exchanged with IL-5 (Peprotech, Rocky Hill, USA). Half of the medium was exchanged every other day and on day 8, the cell culture flask was exchanged. After 12 days, cells were harvested and checked for the eosinophil purity using flow cytometry. A CytoFLEX Flow Cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Brea, USA) was used to analyze the purity of the eosinophils using anti-SiglecF-APC-Cy7 (BD Bioscience, San Jose, USA) antibodies.

HSCs expansion medium consists of BIT9500 (Stem Cell Technologies) supplemented with 50 ng/mL recombinant mouse (rm) SCF, 20 ng/mL FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L) and 10 ng/mL thrombopoietin (Tpo) (all from PeproTech, Inc.). p18SMI compounds were added where indicated. Bone marrow cells were harvested from C57BL/6 mice and made into a single-cell suspension. After immunomagnetic c-Kit enrichment (cKit-conjugated microbeads [MiltenyiBiotec, Bergisch-Gladbach]), cells were washed and resuspended in HSCs expansion medium. After culture, total nucleated cell counts were obtained, and a fraction of mononuclear cells (MNCs) or whole bone marrow cells were stained for flow cytometry analysis. Frequency of each cell population was determined by independently analyzing more than 5 × 105 cells per sample in triplicate.

To generate hematopoietic stem cell-DCs (Stem-DCs), lineage-negative cells were selected from BM-MNCs by magnetic beads (MACS lineage depletion kit, Miltenyi Biotech, Germany) as HSCs. HSCs were seeded at a concentration of 1 × 106 cells per well in 24-well plates and cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF, 100 ng/mL), stem cell factor (SCF, 50 ng/mL), and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L, 50 ng/mL) (Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA) for 7–10 days to promote their proliferation and differentiation into the monocyte lineage. Then, the cells were placed in culture media containing GM-CSF (1000 U/mL) and interleukin (IL)-4 (1000 U/mL) (Peprotech, USA) for 4–5 days to induce their differentiation into DCs.

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.
