Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from whole blood using Lymphocyte Separation Media (Accurate Chemical and Scientific, Westbury, NY, USA) and buoyant density centrifugation. PMBC stimulation was performed by seeding 48-well, flat-bottom, cell culture plates with 500,000 PBMCs ± 1 × 106 heat-killed (HK) C. albicans (prepared by boiling ~4 × 108C. albicans cells for 45 minutes) or a Th17 differentiating cocktail of recombinant human IL-1β (10 ng/ml), recombinant human IL-6 (50 ng/ml), recombinant human IL-23 (20 ng/ml), recombinant human transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ; 10 ng/ml), recombinant human IL-2 (24 IU/ml), anti-IL-12 (5 μg/ml) and anti-IL-4 (5 μg/ml) (R&D Systems, Minneapolis MN, USA)
[20 (link)]. Supernatants were collected after 5 days and were analyzed in triplicate for IL-17A by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (eBiosciences, San Diego, CA, USA). C. albicans was prepared by culturing strain CAF2-1 in yeast peptone dextrose at 30°C overnight with agitation.

Cells were cultured in DMEM or IMDM medium (Gibco) supplemented as described (31 (link)) at 37°C/10% CO2. For ex vivo activation of FACS-sorted naïve and memory T cell subsets, 2–3 × 104 T cells were added to round-bottom tissue culture treated plates (Corning) together with anti-CD3/anti-CD28-coated beads (Invitrogen; 3 beads:1 cell), and recombinant human IL-2 (BD Bioscience; 10 Units/mL). recombinant human IL-23 (R&D Systems; 20 ng/mL) was added as indicated. For intracellular cytokine staining, cultured cells were washed once in complete medium and resuspended in medium containing PMA (10 nM), Ionomycin (1 μM) and Brefeldin A (10 μg/ml) for 3–4 hr.

Single-cell suspensions isolated from intestinal tissues of CD patients were stained with FITC-conjugated anti-human lineage cocktail 3 (Lin3) (CD3, CD14, CD19, and CD20; clone: MφP9, L27, SK7, and SJ25C1; BD Biosciences), PerCP-conjugated anti-human CD45 (clone: HI30, BioLegend), APC-conjugated anti-human CD127 (clone: A019D5, BioLegend), PE-conjugated anti-human NKp44 (clone: P44-8, BioLegend), PE-Cy7-conjugated anti-human CD117 (clone: 104D2, eBioscience), Brilliant Violet 421-conjugated anti-human CRTH2 (clone: BM16, BioLegend), and Alexa Fluor 647-conjugated anti-STAT3 Phospho-Tyr705 (clone: 13A3-1, BioLegend). Viability was assessed by Fixable Yellow Dead Cell Stain (Thermo Fisher Scientific). For phosphoflow staining, cells were stimulated with 20 ng/ml of recombinant human IL-23 (carrier free, R&D) for 15 mins and were permeabilized by True-Phos™ Perm Buffer (BioLegend) following the manufacturer's protocol. AbC™ Total Antibody Compensation Beads (Cat. No. A10497, Life Technologies) and ArC™ Amine Reactive Compensation Beads (Cat. No. A10346, Life Technologies) were used for compensation. Data were acquired on an LSRFortessa™ flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) using BD FACSDiva™ software in the Cytometry Core at the University of Florida and analyzed by FlowJo software (Version 10, Tree Star Inc.).

FACS-purified cTh17 cells [CD4+IL-7R+CD25lo/-CCR6+CXCR3-CCR5[-]] from buffy-coated blood of healthy donors [HD] were stimulated in plate-bound anti-CD3 [0.02 μg/mL, BD Biosciences] and anti-CD28 antibodies [6 μg/mL, BD Biosciences] in complete RMPI medium [5% human serum, 1 mmol/L sodium pyruvate, 10 mmol/L nonessential amino acids, 1% penicillin/streptomycin] in the presence or absence of recombinant human IL-23 [10 ng/mL, R&D Systems], recombinant human IL-12 [10 ng/mL, R&D Systems], IL-1β, IL-6, TNF [10ng/ml, R&D Systems], or neutralising anti-TNF antibodies [Ebioscience]. After 4 days, cells were transferred to uncoated plates and cultured for an additional 2–6 days under the same cytokine conditions, and then analysed for CXCR3 or CCR5 surface expression.

γδT cells isolated from normal tissues were cultured in the conditional medium containing heat-killed E. coli, supernatants derived from normal tissues (NS), supernatants derived from tumor tissues (TS), or recombinant human IL-23 (10 μg/ml, R&D Systems). IL-23 neutralizing antibody (Clone 24901, 0.1μg/ml,) was added when needed. At day 14, IL-17+ cells were detected by FCM.

Naive and memory T-cell subsets (106 cells/ml) sorted by FACS were stimulated with immobilized CD3 and soluble CD28 Abs (1 μg/ml) and cultured in RPMI 1640 media supplemented with human recombinant IL-23 (50 ng/ml), TGF-β (10 ng/ml), IL-1β (10 ng/ml), and IL-6 (50 ng/ml) cytokines and neutralizing IL-4 (1 μg/ml) and IFN-γ Abs (10 μg/ml) (R&D Systems) for 12 days. Media including polarizing cytokines, Abs, and IL-2 (5 ng/ml) was refreshed at day 4 and 8 post-culture. Cells were split at day 4 and/or 8 post-culture for an optimal density 1-2x106 cells/well.

PBMC from RA patients were stimulated with MoAbs against CD3/CD28 (5.0 ug/ml in both cases, plate-bound) in IMDM culture medium (Gibco, Grand Island, NY), supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, glutamine (2.0 mM), and penicillin (100 u/ml)/streptomycin (100 μg/ml), and incubated at 5% CO2 and 37°C for 6 days. In order to induce the differentiation of pathogenic Th17 cells, human recombinant IL-23 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, 10.0 ng/ml, or this cytokine plus IL-1β (Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ, 8.0 ng/ml) was added, at days 1 and 3 of cell culture. Three hours before harvesting, cells were incubated with the leukocyte activation cocktail (PMA plus Ionomycin) and GolgiPlug (BD Pharmingen), and then cells were stained and analyzed by flow cytometry, as described above.

Quantification of Phosphorylated STAT3

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Kit225 cells were seeded in 384-well plate at a density of 1×105 cells/well in 4 µL HBSS, and incubated for 2 hours in a humidified, 5% CO2 cell culture incubator at 37°C. The cells were treated with serially diluted compounds for 1 hour and stimulated with 100 ng/mL human recombinant IL23 (R&D Systems) for 20 minutes. The treated cells were then lysed and cellular phosphorylated-STAT3 (Tyr705) levels were measured by AlphaLISA (PerkinElmer, Cat# ALSU-PST3) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Inhibition data were calculated by comparison to vehicle control wells for 0% inhibition and non-stimulated control wells for 100% inhibition. Dose response curves were then generated to determine the concentration required to suppress 50% of cellular response (IC50) as derived by non-linear regression analysis using GraphPad Prism.

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.
