CD8+ CTLs (5.0 × 105 cells) sorted from splenocytes were cultured with or without MLACs or MDSCs (4.0 × 105 cells each) in 10% FBS-RPMI containing 0.5 μg/ml α-CD3ε (clone 145-2C11, Biolegend) and 3.0 μg/ml α-CD28 (clone 37.51, Biolegend) in 6-cm dishes. After 72 hr of culture, the cells were harvested and the percentage of activated (CD69+) CTL cells within the CD8+ cell population was analyzed by flow cytometry.

Quantifying CTLA-4 Blockade by Antibody 4F10

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine whether αCTLA-4 clone 4F10 blocks CTLA-4 binding to CD80 and CD86, we permeabilized splenocytes and treated them with graded doses of 4F10 or an isotype control mAb for 60 min at 4°C. All subsequent incubations lasted 30 min at 4°C. Cells were washed, and the amount of residual functionally available CTLA-4 was determined by incubation with 2 μg/ml of recombinant CD80-hIgG1 Fc or CD80-hIgG1 Fc (Biolegend), revealed by subsequent incubation first with 1.25 μg/ml of PE-conjugated goat αhu-man IgG (Southern Biotech) and then with 5 μg/ml PE-conjugated αgoat IgG Abs (Invitrogen). To prevent binding of CD80-hIgG1 Fc or CD80-hIgG1 Fc to CD28 on splenocytes, we blocked CD28 with 10 μg/ml of αCD28 clone 37.51 (Biolegend) during incubation with titrated doses of 4F10. Alternatively to CD80- and CD86-Fc, residual non-blocked CTLA-4 was revealed by incubation with 4 μg/ml APC-conjugated 4F10 mAb (Millipore) under conditions at which displacement of the originally applied blocking antibody is negligible (data not shown). Further staining for CD4 and Foxp3 through conventional protocols identified Treg and Th cells.

Quantifying CD8+ T Cell STAT4 Phosphorylation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse CD8 + T cells were purified from spleens of C57BL/6 mice using EasySep mouse CD8 + T cell isolation kit (Stem Cell). Purified CD8 + T cells (10 6 cells/mL) were activated in six-well plates precoated with 2 μg/mL α-CD3 (clone 17A2, Bioxcell) and supplemented with soluble 5 μg/mL α-CD28 (clone 37.51, BioLegend) and 30 ng/mL mouse IL-2 (Peprotech) for 3 days. Culture medium was IMDM (Gibco) containing 10% heat-inactivated FBS, 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin and 50 μM 2-mercaptoethanol (Sigma Aldrich). After 3 days of culture, activated CD8 + T cells were rested for 6 hrs in fresh culture medium and were transferred into 96-well plates (50,000 cells/well). Indicated amounts of IL-12 or CBD-IL-12 were applied to CD8 + T cells for 20 min at 37 °C to induce STAT4 phosphorylation. Cells were fixed immediately using BD Phosflow Lyse/Fix buffer for 10 min at 37 °C and then permeabilized with BD Phosflow Perm Buffer III for 30 min on ice. Cells were stained with Alexa Fluor (AF) 647-conjugated antibody against pSTAT4 (clone 38, BD) recognizing phosphorylation of Tyr693. Staining was performed for 1 hr at room temperature (RT) in the dark. Cells were acquired on BD LSR and data were analysed using FlowJo (Treestar). Mean Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) of pSTAT4 + population was plotted against cytokine concentration. Dose-response curve was fitted using Prism (v8, GraphPad).

Bone Marrow MDSC STING Agonist Proliferation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bone marrow MDSCs were generated as above (GM-CSF and IL-6 for 4 days) and treated with STING agonists or vehicle control for 48 hours following CFSE labeling prior to analysis on a flow cytometer. Proliferation index is calculated by the average number of cell divisions that a cell in the original population has undergone. It was obtained by the following formula that measures the ratio of the number of cells that underwent division to the total number of cells in the system. PI=i=0i(iNi2i)/i=0iNi2i , where i=number of cell division peak as determined by CFSE dilution, Ni=number of cells in that division peak.
For suppression assays, naïve splenocytes were obtained from male C57BL/6 mice, and CD8 T cells were isolated by negative selection with the Miltenyi Mouse CD8 T Cell Isolation Kit. CD8 T cells were labeled with CellTrace CFSE (ThermoFisher) as described. The 1×105 CFSE-labeled CD8 T cells were plated at indicated ratios with unstimulated or repolarized BM-MDSC in 200 µL cDMEM containing 10% FBS, 50 U/mL IL-2, 27.5 µM β-ME, and 2 µg/mL αCD28 (clone 37.51; BioLegend) in round bottom 96-well plates coated with αCD3 (BioXCell clone 145–2 C11; coated overnight at 10 µg/mL in PBS at 4°C). After 72–96 hours, CD8 T cells were analyzed for CFSE dilution by flow cytometry.

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.
