Anti cd28 antibodies

Manufactured by BioXCell
Sourced in United States

Anti-CD28 antibodies are immunological reagents that bind to the CD28 receptor on T cells. CD28 is a co-stimulatory molecule that plays a crucial role in T cell activation and proliferation. These antibodies can be used in research applications to study T cell biology and immune responses.

Murine T Cell Isolation and Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The spleens of 6‐to 8‐week‐old C1QBP+/− and C1QBP+/+ C57/BL6 mice were harvested, gently ground in MACS buffer (PBS + 0.5% BSA + 2 mM EDTA) and then passed through a sterile 40‐µm nylon filter (BD Falcon). Red blood cells were lysed with RBC Lysing Buffer (BioLegend). The murine T cells were isolated by Pan T magnetic Microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) from splenocytes obtained from C1QBP+/+ and C1QBP+/− mice. CD4+ or CD8+ T cells were sorted on a FACSAria III Cell Sorter (BD Biosciences) and planted in 24‐well plates coated with 2.5 μg/mL anti–CD3ε (145‐2C11, Bio‐X‐Cell) and 1 μg/mL anti–CD28 antibodies (37.51 Bio‐X‐Cell). All the above cells were cultured in RPMI‐1640 medium (Corning) supplemented with 10% FBS, 4 mM l‐glutamine, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 2 ng/mL IL‐2, 10 ng/mL IL‐7, 5 ng/mL IL‐15, and 75 μM β‐mercaptoethanol and incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere.

Mouse CD4+ T cells were isolated from spleens using the MagniSort Mouse CD4+ T cell enrichment kit (Invitrogen, 8804-6821-74) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were maintained in complete RPMI1640 medium (Corning, 10-040-CV) containing 10% FBS, 2 mM l-glutamine, 50 U/ml penicillin-streptomycin, and 5.5 mM β-mercaptoethanol. For TH2 cell differentiation, naïve CD4+ T cells isolated from WT and Orai1fl/flCd4Cre mice were stimulated with anti-CD3 (2.5 ng/ml; clone 2C11) and anti-CD28 antibodies (1 μg/ml; clone 37.51) (both Bio X Cell) on flat-bottom plates coated with rabbit anti-hamster IgG (25 μg/ml; MP Biomedicals, catalog no. MP0855398) in the presence of IL-4 (50 ng/ml; PeproTech) and anti-IFN-γ (5 μg/ml; eBioscience, clone 11B11) for 2 days. For TH1 differentiation, CD4+ T cells were stimulated with anti-CD3 (1 μg/ml) and anti-CD28 (1 μg/ml) antibodies on IgG-coated plates as described above in the presence of IL-12 (20 ng/ml; PeproTech) and anti-IL-4 (5 μg/ml; eBioscience, clone 11B11). On day 2, cells were detached and expanded in RPMI1640 medium supplemented or not with TH1 or TH2 cytokines as described above and hIL-2 (20 U/ml; PeproTech, 200-02). Cells were analyzed on days 3 to 5.

Naïve CD4+ T cells (CD25Foxp3-GFPCD4+CD8TCRβ+CD62L+CD44) cells were sorted from pooled spleens and lymph nodes after CD4+ cell enrichment using the Dynabeads™ FlowComp™ Mouse CD4 Kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Tissue culture treated 96-well flat-bottom plates (USA Scientific) were coated with 1 μg/mL anti-mouse CD3 and 1 μg/mL anti-mouse CD28 antibodies (BioXCell) in 200 μL 1x PBS at 37°C for 2 hours and then washed once with 1x PBS. Cells were cultured on these plates for 2–4 days with 1 ng/ml recombinant human TGF-β and varying concentrations of recombinant human IL-2 before staining and analysis. To assay the stability of Foxp3 expression, naïve CD4+ T cells were cultured in Treg cell induction conditions with or without 0.25 mM ascorbic acid-2-phosphate (Sigma) for 4 days. Foxp3-GFP+ cells were then sorted and cultured on new plates coated with or without 1 μg/mL anti-CD3 and 1 μg/mL anti-CD28 antibodies (BioXCell) in the presence of 100 U/mL recombinant IL-2 for 1–4 days. At the end of culture, cells were harvested and stained with a viability dye (BioLegend) followed by cell fixation and Foxp3 staining.

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.
