We measured the frequency of plasmablasts in the peripheral blood of twenty macaques vaccinated with ALVAC-SIV/gp120 and twenty macaques vaccinated with NYVAC-SIV/gp120 before vaccination and at week 25 (7 days after the last immunization). To stain the cells, the following markers were labeled: CD3 (SP34-2), CD14 (M5E2), CD16 (3G8), and CD56 (B159), all in ALEXAFluor700 (BD Biosciences); CD19- PE-Cy5 (J3-119, Beckman Coulter), CD20- Qdot650 (2H7, eBiosciences), CD38- FITC (Clone AT-1, StemCell), CD39- BV421 (MOCP-21, BioLegend), Ki67- PE (B56, BD Biosciences), and CD183-PE-CF594 (CXCR3; 1C6 BD, Biosciences). Dr. A. A. Ansari kindly provided the anti-α4β7 (Act-1) reagent (cat. #11718) through the NIH AIDS (NIAD) Reagent Program, Division of AIDS. Cytofix/Cytoperm (BD Biosciences) was used to allow intracellular staining. LSR II (BD Biosciences) was used to evaluate acquisition and the resulting data were analyzed with FlowJo (TreeStar). Gating of lineage negative (CD3- CD14- CD16- CD56-) CD20+ CD21- Ki67+ CD38+ CD39+ was used to identify plasmablasts [78 (link)]. The expression of CXCR3 or α4β7 on the plasmablasts was used to calculate the frequency of the CXCR3+ and α4β7+ plasmablasts.

PBMC surface antigens were stained with CD4-FITC (RPA-T4), CD25-APC (MA251), Ki67-PE (B56), and CD127-PE (hIL-7R-M21) (BD Bioscience, San Diego, CA). After washing to remove unbound antibody, cells were incubated on ice for 30 minutes in fixation/permeabilization buffer (eBioscience, San Diego, CA). Cells were washed again with 1X permeabilization buffer (eBioscience), pelleted, and stained with FOXP3-APC (PCH101, eBioscience). Samples were acquired on BD FACS Calibur (BD, San Diego, CA) and analyzed with FlowJo (TreeStar, Ashland, OR). TRegs were defined as CD25+FOXP3+ of CD4+ lymphocytes.

To monitor cell proliferation, cells were stained for surface markers followed by fixation and permeabilization with in specific buffers (eBioscience), and stained with Ki67 (PE, B56, BD Biosciences) and analyzed by flow cytometry.

Analyzing Env-specific GC B Cell Responses

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess Env-specific GC B cell responses, frozen LN cell suspensions were thawed and washed in R10, then stained with live/dead fixable blue viability dye (Invitrogen), tetramer Env probes in AF488 and BV421 for 30 min at 4°C. Cells were subsequently stained with anti-human CD20 BV570 (2H7, Biolegend), and CD3 APC-Cy7 (SP34–2, BD Biosciences) for an additional 20 min at 4°C. Cells were permeabilized using the transcription factor buffer set (BD Biosciences) and stained intracellularly for anti-human IgG BV786 (G18–145, BD Biosciences), BCL6 PE-Cy7 (K112–91, BD Biosciences), and Ki67 PE (B56, BD Biosciences). Tetramer Env probes were prepared by incubation of 4-fold molar excess of avi-tag biotinylated 1086 Env protein with either streptavidin-conjugated AF488 (Invitrogen) or streptavidin-conjugated BV421 (Biolegend).

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.
