Cryopreserved PBMCs from 20 of the untreated patients with RRMS, 20 cladribine-treated patients at W52, 20 cladribine-treated patients at W96, and an additional 20 healthy controls were thawed and cultured for 48 hours in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with penicillin and streptomycin (50 U/ml Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA) and 10% human AB serum (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Cells were either left unstimulated or stimulated with CpG-ODN 2006 TLR9 agonist (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA, USA) at a concentration of 2.5 μg/ml. To assess B cell cytokine production, the CpG-stimulated and unstimulated PBMCs were subsequently incubated with phorbol-myristate-acetate (PMA; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) at a concentration of 10 ng/ml, 0.5 μg/ml ionomycin (Sigma-Aldrich), and 5 μg/ml brefeldin A (Sigma-Aldrich), at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 4 hours. Following incubation, cells were surface stained with fluorochrome-conjugated anti-CD19 antibody (PE/Cy7; HIB19) and a live/dead stain. Subsequently, cells were fixed, permeabilized, and stained with anti-IL-10 (APC; JES3-19F1), anti-TGF-β (BV421; TW7-16B4) and anti-LTα (PE; 359-81-11) all from BioLegend. Flow cytometry data acquisition was performed using a FACS Canto II flow cytometer and analyzed using FlowJo software.

Bone marrow cells and splenocytes were isolated from 8-week-old wild type (WT) and Hax1−/− mice, and red blood cells were lysed using 1x BD Pharm Lyse buffer (BD Biosciences). In total, 1 × 106 washed and pelletized cells were resuspended in 1 ml supplemented RPMI medium (described above), seeded in 48-well plates and incubated in a humidified atmosphere at 37°C.
Viability assay. The cells received no additional stimuli. Duplicates (1 × 106 per well) were analyzed for their viability from days 0 to 4. The cells were harvested, washed with 1 ml 1x PBS, and stained with eFluor780 for 30 minutes at 4°C. The stained cells were washed two times with 1x PBS.
Apoptosis assay. In total, 5 × 106 cells were stimulated with 2 μg goat anti-IgM (Southern Biotechnology, clone 1020-01). Then, 1 × 106 cells were analyzed at days 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. The cells were washed with PBS and stained with eFluor450 and CD45R (B220) for 30 minutes at 4°C. After the cells were washed with 1 ml FACS buffer (1x PBS and 3% FCS) and 1 ml 1x binding buffer (eBioscience), they were stained with 5 μl annexin V-FITC (eBioscience), which was diluted in 100 μl 1x binding buffer, for 15 minutes in the dark at room temperature (RT).

For selective PI3P staining on the phagosomes, the 2×FYVE domain of HRS fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP–2×FYVEHrs) was utilised. For phagosome staining, RAW264.7 cells were pre‐treated for 2 h with 1 μM or 2 μM GSK2578215A and/or HG‐10‐102‐01 prior pulsing cells with 1‐μm latex beads for 30 min. After homogenisation in hypotonic buffer (3 mM imidazole, 250 mM sucrose and inhibitor of proteases and phosphatases), the post‐nuclear fraction containing phagosomes was fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in PBS for 10 min on ice. Fixation was stopped by the addition of PBS‐glycine at a final concentration of 0.2 M. The post‐nuclear supernatants were incubated for 30 min at RT with 5 μg/ml FYVE domain conjugate in PBS supplemented with 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA). Preparations were analysed after gating on a particular FSC/SSC region (corresponding to single beads in a solution). Samples were acquired on a BD FacsCanto II flow cytometer and analysed by FlowJo software v10.

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.
