Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To investigate whether HOXA1 could directly impair antitumor immune responses, 0.9 × 106 LLC cells were transplanted into C57BL/6 mice. After a palpable tumor was formed, tumor-bearing mice were treated by intratumoural injections of pcDNA3.1-HOXA1 every 2–3 days for 3 weeks. Tumor volume and weight were measured, and single-cell suspensions from the spleen, draining lymph nodes and tumors of tumor-bearing mice were collected for analysis. Cells were stimulated with PMA (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA, 50 ng/mL), ionomycin (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA, 1 µg/mL), and monensin (eBioscience, 2 µg/mL) for 5 h. After that, cells were stained with anti-CD3 and anti-CD4/CD8 mAbs (eBioscience), fixed, permeabilized and stained with anti-IFNγ mAb (eBioscience) according to the Intracellular Staining Kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) instructions. Cells obtained from tumor tissues were stained with anti-CD11b and anti-Gr1 mAbs (BioLegend). All of the experiments were approved by the Animal Use Committee of Jiangsu University in accordance with the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals.

Then cells were stained with anti-CD4 mAbs (eBioscience, San Diego, CA), fixed, permeabilized and stained with anti-IFN-γ mAb or anti-IL-17 mAb (eBioscience, San Diego, CA). As controls, the appropriate isotype-matched antibodies were used for each staining. Flow cytometry was performed using a FACS Calibur flow cytometer (eBioscience, San Diego, CA), and the data was analyzed by WinMDI 2.8 software.

CTLs were stained with CD3, CD8 and CD69 anti-human mouse antibodies (mAbs), washed, and analyzed by flow cytometry (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ). The CD3+ CD8+ cells were gated and evaluated for activation cell subsets (CD69+). Briefly, T cells that were maintained under the same culture conditions but without any peptide stimulation were used as negative controls. CTLs were co-incubated at a 1:1 ratio with stimulator cells in round-bottom 96-well plates. After 1 h of incubation, 10 μg/mL Brefeldin A (eBioscience, San Diego, USA) was added to each well. After 5 h of additional incubation, the cells were centrifuged, washed, and stained with phycoerythrin (PE)-conjugated anti-CD3 (eBioscience) and peridinin-chlorophyll protein (PerCP)-conjugated anti-CD8 anti-human mAbs (Biolegend) for 30 min on ice in the dark. After surface staining, cells were washed, fixed, permeabilized, washed with Perm/Wash solution (BD Biosciences), stained with an anti-IFN-γ mAb (eBioscience), and analyzed by flow cytometry38 (link).

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.
