PBMC Cytokine Profiling in Response to LPS and PHA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PBMC were cultured in 96-well plates (105 cells/well) in serum-free medium (XVNS-15; Lonza), with or without ultrapure LPS from Salmonella enterica serovar minnesota mutant R595 (10 ng/ml; Invitrogen) or PHA (10 μg/ml; Sigma-Aldrich). Cell-free tissue supernatants were collected at 18 h and stored at −20 °C for batched analysis. Cytokine quantifications in cell-free culture supernatants at 1 : 2 dilution were performed using a customized multiplex cytokine array, including: IFN-α2, IFN-γ, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-15, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, and TNF-α (Luminex 200 System, EMD-Millipore-Sigma). IL-8 levels were above the highest standard in the multiplex array, and retested using aliquoted culture supernatant by commercial ELISA (BioLegend) at a 1 : 20 (rest) or 1 : 40 (LPS/PHA) dilution according to manufacturer's instructions.

Enrichment and Isolation of Naive CD4+ T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cryopreserved CBMC and PBMC were thawed in the presence of DNAse, assessed for viability using trypan blue exclusion, and rested overnight in serum-free complete medium (XVNS-15; Lonza) plus low dose IL-2 (30 U/ml; Prometheus) in 6 well ULA tissue culture plates (Fisher Scientific). Following overnight rest, CBMC/PBMC were subjected to CD4+ enrichment using negative isolation columns (Miltenyi), and resulting CD4+ T cells labeled with anti-CD4-PECy7 (BD), anti-CD45RA-allophycocyanin (Biolegend), and anti-CD14/CD19/CD123/CD56 (Biolegend)/CD1c -PE (Miltenyi), and sorted to obtain CD4+CD45RA+(CD14/CD19/CD123/CD1c/CD56)negative T cells using a FACS InFlux sorter (BD). To assess the impact of contaminating CD4+CD45RA+RO+ and CD4+CD45RO+RA− T cells on the effector cytokine response among adult donors, PBMC from a subset of adult donors underwent CD4+ enrichment using negative isolation columns followed by parallel FACS purification for CD4+/CD45RA+/CD14, CD19, CD123, CD1c, CD56negative T cells and CD4+/CD45RA+/CD45RO− (BV 421; BD)/CD14, CD19, CD123, CD1c, CD56negative T cells (Supplemental Figure 1 A/B).

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.
