Mtb lysate

Manufactured by BEI Resources

Mtb-lysate is a biological product derived from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strain. It contains a complex mixture of Mtb cellular components, including proteins, lipids, and other biomolecules, obtained through a controlled lysis process. The core function of Mtb-lysate is to provide a representative sample of Mtb constituents for research and analytical applications.

Tonsil Organoid Culture and Treatment

Tonsil organoids were established as previously described (68 (link), 69 (link)). Briefly, whole tonsils (overall healthy, without obvious signs of inflammation) were collected in saline after surgery and then immersed in an antimicrobial bath of Ham’s F12 medium (Gibco) containing Normocin (InvivoGen), penicillin, and streptomycin for 1 h at 4 °C for decontamination. Tonsils were then briefly rinsed with PBS and manually disrupted into a suspension by processing through a 100 μm strainer with a syringe plunger and cryopreserved. Frozen cells were thawed, washed, enumerated, and then plated (6 × 106 cells in 100 μL per well) into permeable (0.4 μm pore size) membranes placed in standard 12-well tissue-culture plates. Organoids were cultured for 7 d at 37 °C, 5% CO2 with or without Mtb-lysate (10 μg/mL, BEI Resources) or LAIV (1 μL per well, an equivalent of 1.6 × 104 to 1.6 × 105 fluorescent focus units per strain; FluMist Quadrivalent, Medimmune). Harvested cells were washed followed by flow cytometry analysis.

PBMCs were thawed in complete RPMI 1640 medium at 2×106 cells per ml and recovered 12 hours before stimulation. PBMCs were stimulated with an Mtb-lysate (10μg/ml) (obtained from BEI Resources) or plate-bound anti-CD3 antibody (10μg/ml) for 14 hours, and then stained with anti-CD3 (UCHT1), anti-TCRδ (5A6.E9), anti-CD8 (RPA-T8), anti-CD19 (HIB19), and anti-CD69 (FN50) antibodies. All antibodies were purchased from BioLegend. Dead cells were stained using the LIVE/DEAD Fixable Aqua Dead Cell Stain Kit (ThermoFisher Scientific).

Single-cell TCR sequencing of M.tb-specific CD8+ T cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single cell TCR sequencing was performed as described previously(36 (link), 37 (link)). Briefly, cryopreserved PBMCs from 12 healthy adolescents with evidence of M.tb infection (QuantiFERON+ and/or TST+) were thawed, rested for 6 hours, and stimulated for 12 hours with M.tb lysate (10μg/mL, BEI Resources) in the presence of anti-CD49d antibody (1μg/mL), and anti-CD154-PE (10μL/mL). Cells were stained with LIVE/DEAD Fixable Aqua Stain (ThermoFisher Scientific) and then with antibodies (Supplementary Table 1). Single, activated (i.e. CD69+CD137+ and/or CD69+CD154+) TCRαβ+ CD8+ cells were sorted by FACS (BD FACS Aria-II) into 96 well plates containing One-Step RT-PCR buffer (Qiagen). TCRαβ sequences were amplified using a panel of TCRαβ primers and further amplified in a nested PCR before sequencing on a MiSeq (Illumina) instrument, as described previously(36 (link), 37 (link)). TCR sequences from 6 of these 12 adolescents were published recently (38 (link)), as indicated in Supplementary Table 2.

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.
