Library Generation of Engineered TCRs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After bulk TCR sequencing, top rank alpha chains and beta chains were selected and randomly paired to obtain a library of 116 candidate TCR constructs. Detailed information on the library can be found in Table S3. The TCR library was cloned into lentiviral vectors for T‐cell transduction. Multiplicity of infection (MOI) was controlled at 0.2 to ensure single lentivirus integration into the genome of each transduced T cell.
Lentiviruses were generated using the pMD2.G and pSPAX2 envelope plasmids in HEK293T cells. Freshly isolated PBMCs were activated with anti‐CD3 and anti‐CD28 (Miltenyi Biotec) overnight, and proceeded to virus infection. Viral supernatant mixed with 400 U/ml IL‐2 (R&D System, USA) and 8 μg/ml protamine (Sigma Aldrich) was added onto peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and centrifuged at 800 g and 25°C for 1.5 h. Transduced T cells were maintained in GT551‐H3 medium (TaKaRa) supplied with 5% human serum (GemCell), 1% penicillin/streptomycin (HyClone), and 400 IU/ml IL‐2. The expression of TCR genes was routinely examined using a mouse TCRβ‐specific antibody (BD Biosciences) by FACS.

CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T Cell Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA) was used to isolate cells. The median purity of isolation procedures was >90%. CD4+CD25− T cells were stained with 1.5μM CFSE (Molecular Probes/Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) for 10 min at room temperature. After quenching by FBS, cells were washed with PBS. A total of 5×104 of CD4+CD25+ cells were cultured in triplicate with 5×104 CFSE-labelled autologous CD4+CD25 T cells stimulated with anti-CD3 (1 μg/mL) (ATCC, Rockville, MD) and anti-CD28 Abs (1 μg/mL) (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA) in AIM V medium supplemented with IL-2 at 150 IU/mL. As negative controls, CFSE-labelled CD4+CD25-cells were stimulated with anti-CD3 (1 μg/mL) and anti-CD28 (1 μg/mL) in the absence of fresh CD4+CD25+ cells. CFSE expression was measured by flow cytometry on day five after stimulation. CFSE data were analyzed using the ModFit software. The percentages of suppression were calculated based on the proliferation index (PI) of responder cells alone compared with the PI of cultures containing responders and Treg. The program determines the percent of cells within each peak, and the sum of all peaks in the control culture is taken as 100% of proliferation and 0% of suppression.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral blood cells were labeled with an anti‐CD15‐APC antibody and anti‐APC magnetic beads (Miltenyi Biotec K.K., Tokyo, Japan). The CD15+ cells were depleted from PBC using MiniMACS columns (Miltenyi Biotec). The control PBC were labeled with anti‐mouse IgG1‐APC antibody and anti‐APC magnet beads. In other experiments, the sorted CD15+ cells were added to the PBC at up to 10 times higher concentration than in original PBC. PBC with and without CD15+ cells were labeled with carboxy‐fluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) (Cayman Chemichal, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) or CellTrace Violet (CTV) (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and were stimulated with anti‐CD3 (5 μg/mL) (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA) and anti‐CD28 (5 μg/mL) (Miltenyi Biotec) antibodies in RPMI 1640 medium. In some experiments H2O2 scavenger catalase (100 U/mL, catalase from bovine liver; Sigma‐Aldrich) was added into the T cell culture. After a 48‐h or 72‐h incubation, the cells were collected and stained with anti‐CD3‐PE, CD4‐APC and CD8‐APC antibodies for flow cytometric analysis. The proliferation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was assessed by CFSE or CTV fluorescence intensity.
