WT and Zip8-KO mice were infected with S. pneumoniae as previously described and mediastinal lymph nodes harvested 72 hours post infection. Lymph nodes were processed into single cell suspensions, stained with an antibody cocktail consisting of CD11c, MHC-II, CD24, CD64, CD80, CD86, CD40, CD45, CD3, CD8α and CD4 (BD Biosciences and BioLegend) and DC and T-cell populations were then phenotyped by flow cytometry.
To characterize CD4+ T-helper cell subsets, lymph node cell homogenates from WT and Zip8-KO infected mice were stimulated in vitro with a cell activation cocktail containing PMA (10 ng/ml; StemCell Technologies, Vancouver, Canada), ionomycin (250 ng/ml; StemCell Technologies) and Brefeldin A (5 μg/ml; BioLegend) for 4 hours. Cells were harvested, washed, stained for surface markers as previously described, fixed and permeabilized for 20 minutes with CytoFastFix/Perm (BioLegend), washed and then stained with an antibody cocktail containing IL-2 APC, IL-4 PE/Dazzle594, IFN-γ PE and IL-17 BV421 (BioLegend). Intracellular cytokine production of the CD4+ T-cell subset was characterized by flow cytometry.
For cytokine detection by ELISAs, LN leukocytes were stimulated with PMA (10 ng/ml) and ionomycin (250 ng/ml) for 48 hours. Supernatants were collected for measurement of IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-17A/F according to manufacturers’ instructions.

Cytokine Production Profiling of Activated T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For functional assays on cytokine production by T cells, thawed isolated PBMCs were stimulated for 16 h at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere with anti-CD3/CD28 (1 μg/mL) in complete culture medium (RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% each of l-glutamine, sodium pyruvate, nonessential amino acids, antibiotics, 0.1 M HEPES, 55 μM β-mercaptoethanol). For each sample, at least 2 million cells were left unstimulated as negative control, and 2 million cells were stimulated. All samples were incubated with a protein transport inhibitor containing brefeldin A (Golgi Plug, Becton Dickinson) and previously titrated concentration of CD107a-PE. After stimulation, cells were stained with LIVE-DEAD Aqua (ThermoFisher Scientific) and surface mAbs recognizing CD3 PE- Cy5, CD4 AF700, and CD8 APC-Cy7 (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA). Cells were washed with stain buffer, and fixed and permeabilized with the cytofix/cytoperm buffer set (Becton Dickinson) for cytokine detection. Cells were next stained with previously titrated mAbs recognizing IL-17 BV421, TNF BV605, IFN-γ FITC, IL-2 APC, or granzyme-B BV421 (all mAbs from Biolegend). Then, a minimum of 100,000 cells per sample were acquired on a Attune NxT acoustic cytometer (ThermoFisher).

Then, a minimum of 100,000 cells per sample were acquired on a Attune NxT acoustic cytometer (ThermoFisher)53 (link). FCS data were acquired in list mode by Attune nxT Software v4.2. mAbs used are listed in Sup Data 6.

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.
