Purification and Stimulation of Murine Splenic B Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse splenic B cells were purified by negative selection (eBioscience Magnisort Mouse B cell enrichment kit). B-cell purity was >95% as measured by FACS analysis (FACSCalibur and CellQuest software; BD Biosciences) using anti-B220 antibody (BioLegend). Purified B cells were seeded at a final concentration of 0.5 or 0.25 × 106 cells/mL. For plasmablast differentiation, B cells were stimulated with 5 µg/mL LPS (Sigma) for 72 h, and for IgG1 CSR, B cells were stimulated 5 µg/mL anti-CD40 (HM40-3) agonistic antibody (eBioscience), or 5 µg/mL LPS (Sigma), together with 5 ng/mL mIL-4 (R&D Systems) for 96 h. All B cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% (vol/vol) heat-inactivated FCS, 5 mM Hepes, 2 mM l-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 µg/mL streptomycin, 50 µM 2-mercaptoethanol.

Double immunofluorescence staining was performed as previously described.36 (link) Briefly, B-cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (15 min, RT), washed with PBS, permeabilized (0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS, 15 min), and attached on pre-coated poly-L-lysine slides. Slides were blocked in 3% BSA, followed by mouse monoclonal anti-NS3 (Abcam; 1:100, ab65407) or anti-core (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA; 1:100, MA1-080) antibody staining. The cells were further incubated with rabbit polyclonal anti-CD19, anti-CD20 (Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA; 1:400; 3574), anti-CD20 (Abcam; 1:400; ab78237) or anti-B220 antibody (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA; 1:200; #103201). Cells were washed with PBS and incubated with goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 488 and goat anti-mouse or anti-rat Alexa Fluor 597 (Invitrogen; 1:200). The stained slides were mounted using Vectashield mounting medium (Vector Laboratories Inc., Burlingame, CA, USA). Control slides were similarly processed, except primary antisera were omitted, which yielded no staining. Images were captured using an Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope and processed with Olympus Fluoview Version 1.7c software (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).

Immunostaining of Hepatitis C Virus Proteins

Double immunofluorescence staining was performed as previously described.36 (link) Briefly, B cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (15 min, room temperature), washed with phosphate-buffered saline, permeabilized (0.1% Triton X-100 in phosphate-buffered saline, 15 min) and attached on precoated poly-L-lysine slides. Slides were blocked in 3% bovine serum albumin, followed by mouse monoclonal anti-NS3 (Abcam; 1:100, ab65407) or anti-core (ThermoFisher Scientific; 1:100, MA1-080) antibody staining. The cells were further incubated with rabbit polyclonal anti-CD19, anti-CD20 (Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA; 1:400; 3574), anti-CD20 (Abcam; 1:400; ab78237) or anti-B220 antibody (Biolegend; 1:200; #103201).

Induction of Immunoglobulin Class Switching in Murine B Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Splenic B cells were purified by negative selection (eBioscience Magnisort Mouse B cell enrichment kit). B cell purity measured by FACS analysis (FACSCalibur and CellQuest software; BD Biosciences) using anti-B220 antibody (Biolegend) yielded >95% B220+. Purified B cells were seeded at a final concentration of 1.5 × 10^6 cells per milliliter. For class switching experiments, B cells were stimulated 5 μg/mL anti-CD40 (HM40–3) agonistic antibody (eBioscience), or 5 μg/mL LPS (Sigma), together with 5 ng/mL mIL-4 (R&D Systems) for 96 h to induce switching to IgG1. 5 μg/mL LPS (Sigma) induced switching to IgG3. 5 μg/mL LPS (Sigma) with 5 ng/mL mIL-4 (R&D), 5 ng/mL mIL-5 (Tonbo Bioscience), 5 nM retinoic acid (Sigma Aldrich) and 5 ng/mL TGF-β (Thermo Fisher Scientific) induced switching to IgA. All cells were cultured with RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% (vol/vol) heat-inactivated FCS, 5 mM Hepes, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 units/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, 50 μM 2-mercaptoethanol.

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.
