Human microglia were isolated as previously described53 . CD14+ GBM-infiltrating monocytes were extracted by mechanical disruption of ex vivo GBM samples collected from the operating room, and CD14+ cell isolation was performed by positive selection using CD14 beads (Miltenyi Biotec) after the homogenized tissue was passed through a cell strainer (70 μm). All patients had given informed consent for use of their resected brain tumor for research purposes. All studies using adult human tissue were approved by the McGill University Institutional Review Board (McGill University Health Centre Ethics Board; no. ANTJ2001/1). All experiments were conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy controls (25–41 years old) were isolated using Ficoll gradient centrifugation. CD14+ cell purification was performed by positive selection using CD14 beads (Miltenyi Biotec) after homogenized tissue was passed through a cell strainer (70 μm). All procedures were approved by the Institutional Review Board of Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Scrambled siRNA control and siIκBζ (sequence UGAUGGACCUGCUUGCAAA) were purchased from Dharmacon Thermo Scientific. Rabbit antiserum against IκBζ was generated in our laboratory using recombinant protein expressed in E. coli [17 (link)]. Beta-actin antibody (monoclonal clone C4) and HSP 90α/β antibody (mouse monoclonal) were purchased from MP Biomedicals and Santa Cruz Biotechnology respectively.

Tracing Immune Cell Dynamics Post-Transplant

Following hematopoietic recovery, and prior to (200–300 days posttransplant) or following SHIV challenge (300–400 days posttransplant, 100 days postinfection), large volume blood draws were collected by venipuncture into heparin collection tubes. Whole blood was separated by Ficoll centrifugation, and the mononuclear cell layer was subjected to bead-based positive selection with CD3, CD4, or CD14 beads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Subset purities were confirmed by flow cytometry, and the remainder of cells were processed for total genomic DNA for analysis of Cal-1 gene marking by Taqman.

Monocyte-derived Dendritic Cell Generation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Monocyte-derived DCs were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells as described (29 (link)). Briefly, CD14+ monocytes were isolated from PBMCs by immunomagnetic bead selection using CD14 beads following the manufacturer’s protocol (Miltenyi Biotec). CD14+ cells were suspended in 1% healthy donor plasma in RPMI (Cellgro), supplemented with IL-4 (25μg/ml; R&D Systems) and GM-CSF (20ng/ml; Leukine Sargamostim, Genzyme) on days 0, 2 and 4 of culture. Immature monocyte-derived dendritic cells (Mo-DCs) were harvested on Days 5–6 and used for experiments described below. The CD14 negative fraction of PBMCs was cultured in the presence of 5% Pooled Human Serum (PHS, Labquip Ltd.) in RPMI. For some experiments BDCA3+ myeloid dendritic cells were isolated from the PBMCs using BDCA3 MACS beads (Miltenyi Biotec).

Human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T cells (Unitech Ltd) and HeLa cells (ATCC) were cultured in DMEM medium (Biosera) supplemented with 10% FCS (Biosera), penicillin and streptomycin (100 µg/ml) (Biosera). Human PBMCs were isolated from whole blood by density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll-Paque Plus (GE Healthcare). Human monocytes were subsequently extracted from PBMCs by positive selection using CD14 beads (Miltenyi Biotec) and cultured in RPMI-1640 medium (Biosera) supplemented with 10% FCS and penicillin–streptomycin (100 µg/ml). Following stimulation, supernatants were collected and RANTES levels determined by ELISA (R&D Systems) according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Blood samples from ICC patients were obtained from Liver Cancer Institute, Zhongshan Hospital. CD14+ cells were sorted by CD14+ beads (Miltenyi Biotec). Ten thousand sorted CD14+ cells were added to the upper chambers of Transwell (5 μm, 24-well format; Corning, USA). The supernatants from various fibroblasts were added to the lower chambers with or without CCL2 (100 ng/ml). Cells migrated to the lower chambers were counted by CyAn (Beckman Coulter) after 4 h incubation.

Human CD14+ monocytes were purified from human PBMCs of healthy donors using CD14+ beads (catalog number 130-050-201; Miltenyi Biotec), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Purified CD14+ monocytes were cultured in minimal essential medium alpha (α-MEM) supplemented with 10% FBS and 20 ng/mL human recombinant macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) (catalog number 574804; BioLegend). Fresh media with M-CSF were changed every 3 days until the cells reached 70 to 80% confluence (days 12 to 14).

Studies with human blood cells were pre-approved by the Emory University institutional review board. PBMC from total of 10 healthy donors were purified from blood by a standard technique using LSM medium (MPBiomedicals). Monocytes were isolated by the positive selection using CD14 beads (Miltenyi) and B cells were isolated using the CD19 beads (Miltenyi) to a purity of ≥95%. CD14+ monocytes or MDDC were infected with the DENV-2 (strain 16681) at MOI=1 for 48hr. Resting, allogenic CD19+ B cells were stained with CFSE (Invitrogen) and co-cultured in 96-well plates with the MDDC or monocytes at the ratio of 5:1 in the presence of 20U/ml of IL-2 (Peprotech) and 50nM CpG type B 2006 (TriLink Biotech) and blocking Ab. After 6 days sups were collected for IgG/A/M ELISA and cells were stained with the appropriate Ab cocktail and analyzed for CFSE dilution and B cell phenotype on a LSRII flow cytometer (BD). Detailed conditions of assays are described in the supplemental materials.

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.
