Pieces of pancreas were removed, weighed, and placed in a tube containing 700 μl Complete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Roche Diagnostics). Pancreatic tissue was homogenized using a Polytron homogenizer (Kinematica, Luzern, Switzerland) and IL-2, IL-6, IFNγ, TNFα, IL-17, IL-4, and IL-10 levels were detected by the cytometric bead array (CBA) (Th1/Th2/Th17 kit; BD) method, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The concentration of TGF-β in pancreatic tissue was determined using Human/Mouse TGF-β1 ELISA Ready-Set-Go kit (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA). Serum cytokine levels were also determined by the CBA method.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Five-to-6-week-old female NOD SCID gamma (NSG) mice (GemPharmatech) were intraperitoneally injected with 5×106 A549-Luc-green fluorescent protein (GFP) cells. These cancer cells in the mice were then detected by live bioluminescent imaging. Images were collected and analyzed with a Xenogen-IVIS Imaging System. When the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) value was >109, the mice were divided into three groups, which received NKG2D(z) CAR-T cells (8×106/mouse), NKG2D(bbz) CAR-T cells (8×106/mouse), or mock-T cells (ethics ID number: Xmsq2021-0075). The weight of the mice and MFI values were regularly monitored. The supernatant was aspirated after centrifugation of peripheral blood from the mice (collected via the submandibular vein) and the secretion of IL6, IL2, IFN-γ, and TNF-α in the peripheral blood was measured with a Th1/Th2/Th17 kit (560484, BD Pharmingen). The percentages of NKG2D(z) and NKG2D(bbz) CAR-T cells were assessed based on mCherry fluorescence after lysis of erythrocytes.

For cytokine staining, we used the Th1/Th2/Th17 kit from BD Biosciences. Cells were analysed on an FACS Canto II (BD Biosciences) and data were analysed using the FlowJo software (FlowJo, Ashland, OR, USA).
Data were plotted as frequency of positive cells or as the gMFI to illustrate cytokine expression levels. To correct for experimental variation, the gMFI of cells of interest was normalized to the gMFI of the negative population.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cytokine levels in the culture supernatants were measured by cytometric bead array (Th1Th2Th17 kit from BD Biosciences and Th1Th2Th17Th22 13-plex from eBioscience, San Diego, CA USA) or ELISA. All ELISA reagents were purchased from BD Biosciences with the exception of rIL-17 (eBioscience) and used according to manufactures instructions. NO production was measured in culture supernatants by Griess reaction as described [11 (link)].

The levels of different cytokines (IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma and IL-17) were assessed in plasma and synovial fluid samples by cytometric bead array (CBA) with a Th1/Th2/Th17 kit (BD Biosciences, Sao Paulo, Brazil); according with the manufacturer’s instructions. Data collection and analysis were performed in a BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer. Results were calculated in CBA FCAP Array software (BD Biosciences, Sao Paulo, Brazil) and are expressed as picograms of cytokine per millilitre (pg/mL).

Cells were stained for 30 min at 4°C in PBS containing 0.01% NaN3 and 0.5% BSA with directly labeled antibodies against: CXCR3 Alexa fluor488, CCR5 PE, CCR4 PerCP‐Cy5.5, CCR7 PE‐Cy7, CCR6 Alexa647, CD4 APC‐H7, CD3 V500, CD69 PerCP, CD45 V500 (all from BD Biosciences); CD3 FITC (Sanquin); CD4 PE‐Cy7, CD45 RA eFluor450, and CD45RO PE (all from eBioscience Inc., San Diego, CA). For intracellular cytokine staining, we used IL‐10 PE‐Cy7 (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) and the Th1/Th2/Th17 kit from BD Biosciences. For intracellular staining, after cell surface staining, cells were washed and fixed with FACS Cytofix fixation buffer (BD Biosciences). Following permeabilization (FACS Perm/Wash buffer [BD Biosciences]) cells were stained with markers as indicated. Cells were analyzed on a FACS Canto II (BD Biosciences). CS&T beads were run daily and the same machine with dedicated cytometer configuration was used for the measurements of the samples throughout the study with regular control runs to check compensation settings. Data were analyzed using FlowJo software (FlowJo, Ashland, OR, USA).
Data were plotted as frequency of positive cells or as the gMFI for cytokine expression levels. To correct for experimental variation, the gMFI of cells of interest were normalized to the gMFI of the cytokine negative population.

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.
