Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from the whole blood of a healthy donor (according to ethics approval and written informed consent) by Ficoll (Paneco, Moscow, Russia) density centrifugation at 800× g for 30 min. The buffy coat was collected and washed twice with Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered saline, and the cells were seeded in 10% RPMI with L-glutamine and penicillin–streptomycin (Paneco, Moscow Russia). T cells were activated with T-cell TransAct (Miltenyi, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s protocol, and IL-2 (Prospec, Rehovot, Israel) was added at a concentration of 300 IU/mL. T cells were counted every two days, and a fresh medium containing IL-2 was added to maintain a cell density of approximately 1 × 106 cells/mL. After 14 days of expansion, cell populations were phenotyped by flow cytometry for CD3, CD4, and CD8 markers (Figure S1, Supplementary Materials).

CB Tregs were isolated after ficoll using the CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec)49 . Purity ranged from 90 to 96%. For TCR stimulation, plates were coated for 2 h at 37 °C with 10 μg/mL anti-CD3 (HIT3a, BD Biosciences) and Tregs were cultured with 10 μg/mL anti-CD28 (CD28.2, BD Biosciences) and 1000 IU/mL IL-2 (Prospec) for 24 h at 37 °C. Activation was assessed by analyzing CD69, CTLA4, GITR and LAP expression by flow cytometry (Figure S6). Tregs were washed and added to HSC cultures at a 1:4 ratio, except from day 2 in which a 1:1 ratio was used. For transwell cultures, Tregs were placed in the upper chamber of HTC Transwell plates (Corning). The bottom chamber was coated with irradiated EL08.1D2 cells and HSC added as previously described.

NK92 cells and K562 human leukemia cells were acquired from ATCC. NK-92 were cultured using X-VIVO10 media (Lonza) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS (Gibco) and 500 IU/mL IL2 (Prospec). K562 were cultured in RPMI1640 media supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic mixture (Gibco). Cell medias were combined at a 1:1 ratio for droplet co-encapsulations. Cells were kept at 37°C and 5% CO2. Both NK92 cells and K562 human leukaemia cells were used in a concentration of 3×106 cells/mL.

Glioma Patients' Immune Response Profiling

Whole blood was obtained at the time of diagnosis from patients with gliomas (i.e., prior to surgery, radiation and chemotherapy), diluted 1:1.5 with RPMI 1640 l-glutamine (2 mM) with antibiotics (penicillin, 100 IU/mL, and streptomycin, 100 µg/mL) (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, USA) and incubated (i) without cytokines (RPMI only), (ii) with a IL-7 (10 ng/ml)/IL-2 (500 IU/ml) cytokine cocktail or (iii) with a IL-2 (1000 IU/ml)/IL-15 (10 ng/ml)/IL-21 (10 ng/ml) cytokine cocktail (Prospec, Ness Ziona, Israel). The diluted blood was co-incubated in pre-coated plates with a panel of different TAA and viral antigens (Supplementary Table 1) for 7 days at 37 °C and 5% CO2 as described previously [23 (link), 24 (link)]. To gauge the basal IFN-γ production to NY-ESO-1, survivin as well as commonly recognized target antigens, blood was incubated with medium (negative control) and non-tumor-related antigens, i.e., the Epstein–Barr virus nuclear antigen 3 (EBNA-3). Positive controls were phytohemagglutinin (PHA, Sigma-Aldrich), OKT3 (anti-CD3 monoAb, Biolegend, CA, USA, 30 ng/ml) and SEA + SEB (staphylococcal enterotoxin A and B). IFN-γ production was then quantified in the cell culture supernatant by ELISA (Mabtech, Stockholm, Sweden).

Example 2

NK-92 cells were grown in X-Vivo10 medium (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) supplemented with 5% Human AB Serum (Valley Biomedical, Winchester, Va.) and 500 IU/mL IL-2 (Prospec, Rehovot, Israel). Cells were electroporated with mRNA using the Neon™ electroporation device (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, Calif.), following the manufacturer's parameters for NK-92 cells (1250 V, 10 ms, 3 pulses) and using 5 μg of mRNA per 106 cells in a volume of 100 μl. Electroporated cells were maintained in medium (same as above) for 20 hours (h).

The CD19CAR expression on the NK-92 cell surface was determined by flow cytometry using anti-scFv antibody labeled with eF660 (eBioscience, San Diego, Calif.). FIG. 2A shows the % expression of the indicated CD19CAR in the NK-92 cell population. FIG. 2B shows the median fluorescence intensity (MFI, minus background) of cells electroporated with the indicated CD19CAR. As can be taken from FIGS. 2A and 2B, CAR FcRe unexpectedly had the highest percentage of cells (75.2%) expressing CD19CAR at the cell surface, as well as the highest MFI (quantity of expressed CAR on a recombinant cell), followed by 28_3z (61.7%).

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.
