Lymphocytes were prepared from spleens of VRC01gHL by density gradient centrifugation (Histopaq, Sigma). VRC01gHL B cells were phenotyped for eOD-GT8 probe binding prior to transfer in each experiment. B cells were purified by negative selection by magnetic depletion using FITC conjugated anti-CD43 (clone S7), anti-FITC microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec), and an LS column (Miltenyi Biotec). Cells were enumerated on a hemocytometer and transferred retro-orbitally (RO) into recipient hosts. All steps were performed in transfer buffer (5% Horse Serum/Dulbecco’s PBS (with calcium and magnesium)). All tubes, pipette tips, and syringe needles were pre-coated for at least an hour at room temperature in transfer buffer to minimize cell loss. Mice were rested for approximately 24 hours before immunization. Cells used for transfers were regularly checked for health by using an aliquot for various in vitro stimulation assasy. For CFSE labeling, purified B cells were reacted with 10μM CFSE for 8 minutes with gentle rocking at room temperature and then quenched with two washes of transfer buffer and enumerated after labeling.

The hPDLSCs were sorted using magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) as per the manufacturer's protocol (Miltenyi Biotec, Gladbach, Germany). Briefly, the hPDL cell suspension (5 × 10 6 ) was labeled with a fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated antibody (anti-human SSEA-4, 5 μL/10 6 cells, clone MC-813-70, FITC; STEMCELL Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada) and anti-FITC Microbeads (5 μL/10 6 cells; Miltenyi Biotec) were used to detect the FITC on the primary antibody. The cell suspension was applied onto the prepared magnetic sorting (MS) column (15) . The cells were then sorted into labeled and unlabeled fractions using a MACS column (Miltenyi Biotec).

Human AML cell line KG1a (ATCC, Manassas, VA) was maintained in suspension culture with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 100 U/mL of penicillin and streptomycin. Since LSCs were defined as CD34+CD38− fraction of KG1a cells and all of KG1a cells were CD34+, LSCs were enriched by indirectly labeling with CD38-FITC antibody and anti-FITC microbeads according to the manufacturer's instructions (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Briefly, cell suspensions were centrifuged at 125 g for 10 min and washed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Then, cell pellets were resuspended in separating buffer (PBS containing 0.5% bovine serum albumin) and incubated with CD38-FITC antibody for 30 min. After washing with PBS, cell pellets were resuspended in separating buffer containing anti-FITC microbeads for 15 min. After several washing steps, filtrates (CD34+CD38− cells) were collected by a LD column using a MidiMACS separator system. Throughout the sorting procedure, cells were kept at 4°C and analyzed immediately by flow cytometry. The remaining cells after depletion of LSCs were defined as AML cells, which were used for coculture studies.

Purification and Activation of αβ and γδ T Cells

αβ T cells were purified from B6 mice immunized with the human interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) peptide IRBP1-20, as described previously [4 (link),7 (link),8 (link)], while γδ T cells were purified from immunized and control (naïve) B6 or A2AR-/- mice. Nylon wool-enriched splenic T cells from naïve or immunized mice were incubated sequentially for 10 min at 4°C with FITC-conjugated anti-mouse γδ TCR or αβ TCR Abs and 15 min at 4°C with anti-FITC Microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec GmbH, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany); the cells were then separated into bound and non-bound fractions on an autoMACSTM separator column (Miltenyi Biotec GmbH). The purity of the isolated cells was >95%, as determined by flow cytometric analysis using PE-conjugated Abs against αβ or γδ T cells. Resting γδ T cells were prepared either by isolation from naïve mice or by incubating activated γδ T cells in cytokine-free medium for 5–7 d, at which time they show down-regulation of CD69 expression [3 (link)]. Highly activated γδ T cells were prepared by incubating resting γδ T cells for 2 d with Abs against the γδ TCR (GL3) and CD28 (both 2 μg/ml, both from Bio-Legend, San Diego, CA), or cytokine combination (IL-1,IL-7 and IL-23).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To enrich extracted cell populations for ductal cell extracts, DBA Lectin sorting was completed. Cells were isolated from a mouse pancreata as described above and suspended with 1:200 diluted DBA lectin–FITC (Vector Labs, cat. no. FL-1031) and incubated for 10 min in the dark at 4 °C on a rotor. Cells were washed with 700 μl of separation buffer (PBS, 0.5% BSA, and 2mM EDTA) and centrifuged for 10 min at 300g at 4 °C. The pellet was resuspended in 90 μl of separation buffer and 10 μl of anti-FITC MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec, cat. no. 130-048-701) and incubated on a rotor at 4 °C for 15 min. The cells were washed with 1mL of sorting buffer (PBS 0.5% BSA, 2mM EDTA) and the pellet (300g for 10 min) was resuspended in 500 μl of sorting buffer. MACS Separation (MS) columns (Miltenyi Biotec, cat. no. 130-042-201) were prepared by running 500 μl of chilled sorting buffer and then the labeled cell suspensions (500 μl) were applied to the column. The columns were washed three times with 500 μl of buffer and the flow through was collected as the DBA lectin–negative fraction. The column was removed from the magnetic field and 1,000 μl of separation buffer was then added with a plunger to collect the DBA lectin–positive fraction. The samples were spun down (300g for 15 min at 4 °C) and the pellets used for downstream applications.

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.
