Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spleens were harvested from naïve FVB mice and passed through 100 µm screens. CD8+T cells were isolated from splenocytes via immunomagnetic negative selection (StemCell #19853), and then labeled with carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (Biolegend #423801) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Tumors were collected from treated tumor-bearing mice on day 36, processed into single-cell suspensions as above, and CD11b+Gr-1+Ly-6G+MDSCs were isolated (Miltenyi Biotec #130-094-538). 1×105 labeled CD8+T cells were cultured together with MDSCs at a 1:1 ratio. CD8+T cells were stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 coated beads (Thermo Fisher 11 456D) at a ratio of 2 beads per CD8+T cell. Cells were cultured with 30 units/mL of human IL-2 for 72 hours in 96-well plates before analysis via flow cytometry.

Intestinal Organoid Differentiation and Immune Interactions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Organoids were incubated in TrypLE Express (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and mechanically disrupted using a P1000 pipette. Organoid fragments were seeded on 0.4 μm pore‐size Transwell polyester (PET) membranes (Corning) in 24‐well plates, with a 6.5‐mm insert. Organoids were cultured for 8–10 days in normal organoid media (nondifferentiation media, NDM) to achieve a confluent monolayer, with media changed every 48 h. An EVOM TEER reader (World Precision Instruments, USA) was used to monitor monolayer development. Once monolayers were confluent (Ω > 800), monolayers were cultured in differentiation media (DFM, organoid media containing no Wnt‐3a or R‐spondin) for 72 h then indicated numbers of F. prausnitzii, matched‐patient immune cells, or anti‐CD3/anti‐CD28‐coated beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were added to mucosal (upper) or serosal (lower) Transwell compartments for a further 72 h.

In vitro Suppression Assay for Regulatory T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In vitro suppression was performed by co-culture of CFSE-labeled (2 μM; Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) CD4+CD25 T responder cells with increasing ratios of CD4+CD25high Tregs or iTregs (generated in vitro) and either irradiated (1700 rad) antigen presenting cells or anti-CD3/anti-CD28 coated beads (1:1 ratio beads:responder cell; Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). Responder cell activation was analyzed using the standard CFSE-dilution assay, and expansion indices were calculated using the Flowjo’s proliferation module (version 9.9.3, Tree Star, Ashland, OR); suppression by knockout cells were normalized to the suppressive function of wild type Tregs, as previously described (24 (link)). Normalized suppressive function was plotted against corresponding ratio of Tregs:Tresp. Suppressive function was also evaluated using the IFN-γ ELISPOT assay.

Isolation and Activation of Naïve CD4+ T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated by gradient centrifugation with Lymphocyte Separation Medium (Lonza) and cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FCS (Hyclone) plus Pen/Strep/Glutamine. Naïve CD4+CD45RA+ T cells were purified from fresh PBMCs using an EasySep™ Human naïve CD4 T Cell Enrichment Kit (STEMCELL Technologies). Purity of cell populations was consistently >95%.
To induce effector CD4+ T cells, CD4+CD45RA+ T cells were stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28-coated beads (Life Technologies AS) at a ratio of 2:1 for 72 h.

T Cell Activation Inhibitor Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Compounds were reconstituted at 10 mM with DMSO and diluted to 1 μM, and 0.1 μM for cell culture. Cells are washed twice prior to addition of inhibitors. 30–60 minutes after addition of inhibitors, T cells were re-stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 coated beads (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY). Cells are incubated with inhibitor compounds and beads for 18–24 hours. AKT 1/2 inhibitor (cat# 612847-09-03) was purchased from EMD Millipore (Billerica, MA).

CD4+ T cells (3×104) were cultured in 96-well polyvinylidene fluoride plates (Immobilon-P, Millipore, Billerica, MA) and stimulated with irradiated (1700 rad) splenocytes and/or with anti-CD3/anti-CD28-coated beads (1:1 ratio beads:cell; Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) for 24 hours. Subsequently, the cells were stained according to the ELISPOT manufacturers protocol (eBioscience and BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA). After staining, the plates were scanned and analyzed on an ImmunoSpot S6 Ultra ELISpot reader (version 5.0, CTL, Shaker Heights, OH).

PBMCs from buffy coats were isolated on a Ficoll-Hypaque (Rafer, Madrid, Spain) density gradient and treated with BXM (Simulect, Novartis Pharma, Basel, Switzerland) to analyze its effect on CD4, CD8 and Treg viability, proliferation, Foxp3 expression and cytokine secretion. Briefly, CFSE-labeled PBMCs (CFSE from Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) were cultured with RPMI 1640 medium (Biochrome) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FCS, 500 U/ml IL-2 and a mix of antibiotics (125 µg/ml cloxacillin, 125 µg/ml ampicillin and 40 µg/ml gentamicin; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). CFSE-labeled PBMCs (Life Technologies) were stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28-coated beads (Life Technologies) at 0.5:1 or 1:1 ratio (bead:PBMC), treated with 10 µg/ml of BXM (Simulect, Novartis Pharma) and cultured for 72 h in the presence of IL-2. This concentration was chosen considering the serum concentration that is reached in pediatric patients treated with BXM20 (link), and looking for maximal suppressive effect46 (link). After culture, all samples were analysed by flow cytometry.

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.
