A graphical timeline of conditioning is shown in Figure 1B. Mice were given 500μg Diphenhydramine HCl i.p. approximately 10–15 min prior to αCD117. 500μg αCD117 was injected retro-orbitally into mice under isoflurane anesthesia on day −6 prior to HCT. Mice were irradiated on day −3 with 200 cGy (Figures 1 and 2) or 300 cGy (Figures 3 and 4) TBI. 300μg each of αCD4 and αCD8 was administered i.p. on days −2, −1, and 0. αCD117 mAb, ACK2 was purchased from Bio X Cell (Lebanon, NH) or BioLegend (San Diego, CA). αCD4 (GK1.5) and αCD8 (YTS169.4) were purchased from Bio X Cell. Diphenhydramine HCl was purchased from MedChem Express (Monmouth Junction, NJ).
Animal irradiation (XRT) was performed using a Kimtron Polaris IC-250 Biological Irradiator (Oxford, CT) with a 225 kV X-ray tube filtered by 0.5mm Cu source set at 225kV, 13.3mA. Mice were divided in irradiation pie cages from Braintree Scientific (Braintree, MA) when irradiated. Dosimetry calibration for our setup was performed using published methods on radiochromic film (Ma et al., 2001 (link)).

Immunotherapy Regimen for Preclinical Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All antibody dosing was performed via intraperitoneal injection in PBS. αCD4 (GK1.5, BioXCell) and αCD8 (2.43, BioXCell) depleting antibodies were administered at 200 ug every 4 days. αPD-1 (29F.1A12, BioXCell) was administered at 200 μg three times a week. αCTLA (9H10, BioXCell) was administered at an initial dose of 200 μg, with all subsequent doses at 100 μg, three times a week. αCD40 (FGK4.5, BioXCell) was administered once at the beginning of treatment at 100 μg.
The adjuvant amphiphile-CpG (amph-CpG) and antigen amphiphile (amph-peptide) were produced as previously described53 (link). Briefly, class B CpG 1826 oligonucleotide with a G2 spacer (5’-diacyl lipid-GGTCCATGACGTTCCTGACGTT- 3’) was conjugated via the 5’ end to an 18 carbon diacyl tail. Antigen peptide OVA250–270 (CGLEQLESIINFEKLTEWTSS) and non-specific mutant gp10020–39 (optimized S27P, EGP long52 (link), CAVGALEGPRNQDWLGVPRQL) were conjugated via N’ cysteine residue to 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[maleimide(polyethyleneglycol-2000] (Avanti Polar Lipids). Mice were vaccinated subcutaneously at the base of the tail with 1.24 nmol amph-CpG and 25 μg of amph-peptide, with half dose given to each side. Vaccination was performed once weekly starting 14 days post-transplant of loSIIN organoids.

T-cell Depletion Alters TRAMP-C2 Tumor Growth

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine T-cell mediated growth of TRAMP-C2 tumors, T-cell depletion experiment was performed. WT and Ack1 KO male mice (6–8 weeks) were injected intraperitoneally with 250 μg/mouse αCD4 (GK1.5, BioXcell) or 250 μg/mouse αCD8β (53-5.8, BioXcell) or IgG (control). Three days post the antibody injection, mice were subcutaneously implanted with 1.5 × 106 TRAMP-C2 cells that were suspended in 200 µl of PBS with 50% matrigel (BD Biosciences). Following tumor implantation, mice were injected with the above antibodies intraperitoneally, once a week, for 5 weeks. Tumor growth was monitored and measured with calipers. At the end of the treatment period, all mice were humanely euthanized by carbon dioxide inhalation, followed by cervical dislocation.  Tumors were extracted and weighed.

Mice were infected with 4×106 PFU LCMV Clone 13 i.v., monitored for weight loss, and bled or sacrificed at day 8, 15, 22 or 30 post infection for flow cytometry analyses. To deplete CD4+ T cells, mice were injected i.p. with 200 μg αCD4 (GK1.5, BioXCell Cat# BE0003–1) on days −1 and 1 (relative to LCMV Clone 13 injection on day 0). To block IFNAR1, mice were injected i.p. with 1 mg αIFNAR (MAR1–5A3, BioXCell Cat# BE0241) or isotype (MOPC-21, BioXCell Cat# BE0083) on days −1 and 1 (relative to LCMV Clone 13 injection on day 0). To block IFN-γ, mice were injected i.p. daily with 250 μg αIFN-γ (XMG1.2 BioXCell Cat# BE0055) or isotype (HRPN BioXCell Cat# BE0088) on days 0–3 (relative to LCMV Clone 13 injection on day 0).

To deplete CD4+ or CD8+ T cells, Batf3–/– mice bearing CB+ orthotopic tumors were treated with 200 μg of αCD4 (GK1.5, BioXcell) i.p. on days –1, 1, 4, and/or 200 μg of αCD8 (2.43, BioXcell) i.p. on days –1, 5, and 10. A total of 400 μg of αCD20 (SA271G2, BioLegend) on day –1 relative to tumor implantation was used to deplete B cells. A total of 400 μg of αCSF1R (AFS98, BioXcell), 200 μg of αGr-1 (RB6-8C5, BioXcell), or 200–250 μL of control liposomes or clodronate-loaded liposomes (Encapsula NanoSciences) were administered i.p. on days –1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 relative to orthotopic tumor implantation.

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.
