The surface and cytoplasmic expressions of HLA-DR in different lymphocyte subpopulations were compared as follows. PBMCs were stained for cell-surface antigens before cell membrane permeabilization using FITC-conjugated anti-CD4, anti-CD8, anti-CD20, or anti-CD56 mAb (Becton Dickinson). After washing, the cells were fixed and permeabilized with a Cytofix/Cytoperm Plus kit (Becton Dickinson) and then incubated with PE-conjugated anti-HLA-DR at 4 °C for 20 min. Stained cells were analyzed with a FACSCalibur flow cytometer using CellQuest software (BD Bioscience, Tokyo, Japan). After gating FITC-positive cell clusters for each lymphocyte subpopulation, the HLA-DR expression profiles were compared between the surface and cytoplasmic expressions.
The expression of HLA class II molecules was examined in a similar manner. For HLA-DR, HLA-DQ, and CLIP expressions, FITCconjugated antibodies were used together with PE-conjugated anti-CD19 (Becton Dickinson). For HLA-DM, PE-conjugated antibody was used together with FITC-conjugated anti-CD19 (Becton Dickinson). The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of each sample was determined by flow cytometry after gating CD19 + B cells. The differences between the surface and cytoplasmic staining intensities were calculated and the data are presented as the ΔMFI.

Cynomolgus Monkey Lymphocyte Immunophenotyping

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral blood samples from cynomolgus monkeys were stained with saturating concentrations of fluorescently conjugated mAbs to human CD3, CD8, CD20 and CD45 (all cross‐react with cynomolgus monkey leukocytes), and with appropriate isotype controls. Samples were incubated on ice, washed twice with FACS staining buffer and re‐suspended in fixative buffer before acquisition. Flow cytometric acquisition was performed on the BD FACSCantoTM II on the day of staining. Data were analysed with BD FACSDivaTM software, version 6.1.1 (BD Biosciences). Flow cytograms were generated to establish the fraction of cells expressing each cell surface marker (expressed as percentage of FSC/SSC‐gated lymphocytes). B cells were defined as CD3CD20+ cells, T‐cells as CD3+ cells (cytotoxic T‐cells as CD3+CD8+ cells, helper T‐cells as CD3+CD8 cells), and NK cells as CD3CD20 cells. For each sample at each time point for each lymphocyte subset, the absolute cell count was calculated based on % gated data generated by flow cytometry multiplied by the total lymphocyte count. Statistical analysis was not performed due to the low number of animals assigned to each dose group. All antibodies (anti‐CD3, anti‐CD8, anti‐CD20 and anti‐CD45) were purchased from BD Biosciences.

The mononuclear cells among tumors were separated using the Ficoll-Paque PLUS density gradient media (GE health). The pellets of dead cells were filtered with the 40-μm Cell Strainer (BD Falcon). And the mononuclear cells were stained with anti-BCMA (357503, Biolegend) or anti-CD20 (555622, BD Biosciences) antibodies. BCMA-positive or CD20-positive cells were sorted with the BD FACSAria II. The sorted cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 Medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 200 U/mL penicillin-streptomycin. After being sorted for 24 h, cells were centrifuged and resuspended in fresh RPMI 1640 Medium supplemented with 10% FBS. The supernatant of sorted cells was collected 48 h after culture. For co-culture experiments, the sorted cells were co-cultured with A549 and H1299 cells in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS for 48 h. After 48 h of co-culture, B cell-containing culture media were removed and replaced with fresh culture media and cultured for further 4 h, and the cell viability of A549 and H1299 cells was determined by CCK8 assays.

GST-MDM2, p21-Luc, pCMV-Bam-MDM2, and MDM2ΔRING have been described previously [20 (link), 21 ]. Myc-Mdm2 was kindly provided by Dr. Jochemsen. All Ub and Ub mutants were PCR-amplified and subcloned into pET28a. The mouse Mdm2 was also cloned into pcDNA3 and confirmed by sequence. Flag-p73α, p73β, and p73 mutants were generated by PCR and subcloned into pCMV-Tag1 (Stratagene). p73α and p73β were also cloned into pcDNA3 without tag. All PCR products were confirmed by sequencing. Anti-p73 (Ab-1 and Ab3, Oncogene Science; H-79, Santa Cruz Biotechnology; ab40658, Abcam), anti-MDM2 (2A10, Calbiochem; SMP14, Santa Cruz Biotechnology; MD-219, Sigma), anti-Myc (9E10, Roche), anti-Flag (M5, Sigma), anti-GFP (B-2, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-GST (B-14, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-HA (12CA5, Roche), anti-ubiquitin (BD Bioscience), anti-actin (Sigma), anti-CD20 (Pharmingen), and polyubiquitin-specific FK-1, anti-ubiquitin, Lys63-specific and Lys48-specific antibodies (Millipore) were used according to the manufacturers’ instructions.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DENV-specific human mAbs were generated from activated B cells or plasmablasts20 (link),21 (link). Perimpheral blood mononuclear cells were stained with anti-CD3 (345766; BD Pharmingen), anti-CD19 (R0808; Dako), anti-CD20 (345794; BD Pharmingen), anti-CD27 (555440; BD Pharmingen) and anti-CD38 (555462; BD Pharmingen). Activated antibody-secreting cells were then gated as CD19+, CD3, CD20lo to CD20, CD27hi and CD38hi. A single antibody-secreting cell was sorted into each well of 96-well PCR plates containing RNase inhibitor (N2611; Promega). Plates were centrifuged briefly and frozen on dry ice before storage at −80 °C. RT-PCR (210212; Qiagen) and nested PCR (203205; Qiagen) were then performed to amplify genes encoding γ-chain, λ-chain and κ-chain with ‘cocktails’ of primers specific for IgG. Products of PCR analyzing genes encoding heavy and light chains were then digested with the appropriate restriction endonuclease(s) and were cloned into expression vectors for IgG1 or immunoglobulin κ-chain or λ-chain (gifts from H. Wardemann). For the expression of antibodies, plasmids enoding heavy and light chains were cotransfected into the 293T cell line by the polyethylenimine method (408727; Sigma), and antibody-containing supernatants were harvested for further characterization.
