A total of 100,000 HeLa cells stably transfected with MR1 (HeLa‐MR122) were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Gibco) without supplement at 37°C, with Escherichia coli (DH5α strain) diluted to reach multiplicities of infection of 1000 (1000 multiplicity of infection), as previously described.22 The PBMCs (5 × 105 per well, in 48‐well plates) were added for 20 hours, and monensin was added for the last 4 hours of culture. For blocking conditions, anti‐MR1 (26.5, Biolegend) or IgG2a isotype control (BD Biosciences) was added at a 10‐μg/mL final concentration. Activation of MAIT cells was measured by flow cytometry using CD3, CD4, CD8, CD161, TCR Vα7.2, CD69, GrB, interferon gamma (IFN‐γ), and LIVE/DEAD Fixable Aqua stain (Invitrogen).

PBMC and CD8+ T cell activation

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 adults (whole
blood leukocyte cones, NHS Blood and Transplant, UK), 24 month olds (prospective birth
cohort (Saghafian-Hedengren et al., 2010 (link))) and
umbilical cord blood samples (Stem Cell Services, NHS Blood and Transplant, UK). These
were rested overnight or stored in liquid nitrogen until required. THP-1 cells (ECACC, UK)
were incubated with paraformaldehyde-fixed E. coli (DH5α,
Invitrogen) at 25 bacteria per cell overnight. PMBCs (24 month donors) or sort-purified
CD8+ T cells (adults, sorted on a MoFlo, Beckman Coulter) were then added for a 5h
co-culture. Anti-MR1 antibody (clone 26.5, kindly provided by T.H. Hansen) or IgG2a
isotype control (BD Bioscience) was added at 10µg/ml. For IL-12 + IL-18
stimulations, IL-12 (Miltenyi Biotec) and IL-18 (R&D Systems) were added at
50ng/ml overnight. In all cases, brefeldin A (eBioscience) was added for the final 4hrs of
incubation.

Alternaria alternata and house dust mite (HDM; Dermatophagoides farina) extracts were obtained from Greer Laboratories (Lenoir, NC). Hydrogen peroxide solution, l-glutathione (GSH), N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), PAMAM dendrimer, and mouse genomic DNA were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, Mo). AZ 10417808 (AQZ-1), PD 150606, and decanoyl-RVKR-CMK were procured from Tocris Bioscience (Bristol, United Kingdom). Hanks balanced salt solution (HBSS), acetoxymethyl ester form of fura-2 (fura-2 AM), SYBR Gold, YoYo-1, SYTOX Green, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), and EDTA were obtained from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, Mass). Etoposide was acquired from Abcam (Cambridge, United Kingdom). Naphthofluroscein, caspase-3, and calpain small interfering RNA (siRNA), control siRNA (fluorescein conjugate), siRNA transfection reagent, and media were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, Calif). Fluorescently labeled antibodies to CD3 (145-2C11), CD25 (PC51), CD44 (IM7), CD16/CD32 (2.4G2), CD14 (rmC5-3), CD45R/B220 (RA3-6B2), and IgG2a isotype control were purchased from BD Biosciences (San Jose, Calif).

Activation of MAIT cells by E. coli

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PBMCs were obtained from adults (whole blood leukocyte cones; NHS Blood and Transplant), 24 month olds (prospective birth cohort; Saghafian-Hedengren et al., 2010 (link)), and umbilical cord blood samples (Stem Cell Services, NHS Blood and Transplant) after appropriate ethical review. These were rested overnight or stored in liquid nitrogen until required.
THP-1 cells (ECACC) were incubated with paraformaldehyde-fixed E. coli (DH5α; Invitrogen) at 25 bacteria per cell overnight. PMBCs (24-month donors) or sort-purified CD8+ T cells (adults; sorted on a MoFlo; Beckman Coulter Genomics) were then added for a 5 hr coculture. Anti-MR1 (clone 26.5, kindly provided by T.H. Hansen) or IgG2a isotype control (BD Biosciences) was added at 10 μg/ml. For IL-12 + IL-18 stimulations, IL-12 (Miltenyi Biotec) and IL-18 (R&D Systems) were added at 50 ng/ml overnight. In all cases, brefeldin A (eBioscience) was added for the final 4 hr of incubation.

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.
