Splenocytes (5 × 107 cells/ml) from naive C57BL/6 mice were divided into two populations, labeled with two different concentrations of CFSE (Life Technology, USA). One population was pulsed with 4 μg/ml of NP366–374 peptide (GenScript, Netherlands) for 1 h at 37°C and treated for 15 min at 37°C with 0.5 μM CFSE (CFSElow). The other population remained un-pulsed and was treated with 5 μM CFSE (CFSEhigh). The CFSElow (NP loaded) and CFSEhigh cells (control) were mixed at a 1:1 ratio, washed twice in PBS + 2% FBS and incubated for 16 h with CD8+ T-cells obtained from the spleen or lung of animals immunized with OVX836, and purified by positive selection using CD8a (Ly-2) (Miltenyi Biotec, USA). This assay allows for the measurement of the intrinsic capacity of CD8+ T-cells to kill target cells to determine the actual value of cell specific lysis: 1) Ratio = %[CFSEhigh] peak/%[CFSElow] peak, 2) Percent Specific Lysis = [1 − (Control ratio/Experimental ratio)] × 100, as described previously (20 (link)).

Flow cytometry analysis was performed as described previously(17 (link)), using a FACScan (BD Pharmingen) instrument. The antibodies used to characterize leukemic cells are indicated in supplementary Table S2. 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (BD Pharmingen, Cat#564907) or propidium iodide (PI) (Invitrogen, Cat# P3566) were used for viability staining.
For sorting DN cells; DN thymocytes were enriched by staining with CD4 (L3T4)(Cat# 130–117-043) and CD8a (Ly-2)(Cat#130–117-044) Microbeads (Miltenyi biotec), and depletion of the stained cells using MACS LD column (Cat# 130–042-901, Miltenyi biotec), according to the manufacturer’s recommended protocol. The depleted cells were then stained with mouse anti CD4, CD8, CD25, CD44 specific antibodies and sorted with an Aria FACS Aria II, FACS instrument.
Tissues were fixed in 10% Formalin, paraffin-embedded, and sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin, CD3 (MCA1477, AbD Serotec, Raleigh, NC, USA), B220 (553086, BD Pharmingen), or Myeloperoxidase (1:1000, DAKO-A0398). Tissue histology was analyzed as described previously(18 (link)).

Isolation and Activation of Immune Cells for In Vivo Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isolation of CD8+ T cells or CD11c+ DCs was performed by immunomagnetic selection from splenocytes using Manual MACS Cell Separation Technology (QuadroMACS Separator, LS columns, CD8a [Ly-2] and CD11c MicroBeads; Miltenyi Biotec), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For in vitro experiments, SIINFEKL peptide (Invitrogen) was added at a concentration of 5 μM. In competitive in vivo experiments, 5 × 105 to 1 × 106 each of TCXCR4 and TControl were mixed into a 1:1 ratio before injection, and vaccination was performed at 24 hours and on day 29 by s.c. injection of 200 μM SIINFEKL or an irrelevant peptide in a 1:1 ratio with incomplete Freund’s adjuvant (Sigma-Aldrich). Alternatively, mice received 1 × 106 CD11c+ peptide-loaded DCs intravenously.

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.
