Tracking Antigen-Specific T Cell Recruitment to CNS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine whether myelin specific T cells require antigen-specific APCs for recruitment to the CNS, EAE was actively induced using a combination of two antigenic peptides in 8–12 week old female recipient mice. 3×106 naïve 2D2-CFP and 3×106 naïve OTII-GFP CD4+ T cells were isolated separately by negative depletion using Dynal beads and co-injected into naive recipient mice. 24 hours later, an emulsion of 200 μg MOG35-55 only, 10 μg OVA323-339 only, or 200 μg MOG35-55 and 10 μg OVA323-339 combined (Anaspec, San Jose, CA, USA) with CFA (8 mg/mL H37RA and IFA; Difco Laboratories, Detroit, MI, USA) was injected s.c. bilaterally on the lower back of the recipient mice. Control mice were injected s.c. bilaterally with an emulsion of PBS and CFA. 100 ng PTx (List Biological Laboratories, Inc, Campbell, CA, USA) was administered i.p. on days 0, 1 and 2 to induce EAE.

IL-2:anti-IL-2 mAb complexes were described previously26 (link),27 (link). Briefly, 1.5 μg IL-2 recombinant protein (eBioscience) was incubated with 7.5 μg of functional grade anti-IL-2 mAb (clone JES6-1, eBioscience) for 30 min at 37 °C. Complexes were added directly to thymic slices (10 μl/slice) daily over the course of the experiment. Mouse MOG 35–55 and chicken OVA 323–339 peptides were purchased from Anaspec. Peptide was overlaid on thymic slices for 10–30 min after thymocyte migration into the slice.

For DC transfer experiments, splenic DCs were isolated as described above from mice subcutaneously injected with 1 × 106 B16 melanoma cells that constitutively secrete FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L)58 (link) 10 days prior to harvest. Cells were resuspended at 107 cells/ml and incubated with 10 μM OVA323–339, LCMV-GP61–80, OVA257–264, or LCMV276–286 peptides (Anaspec) in RPMI + 10% FBS, for 30 min at 37 °C. For cell labelling, CFSE or CTV (ThermoFisher Scientific) was added to a final concentration of 2 μM during the last 5 or 20 minutes of incubation, respectively. Cells were washed three times in RPMI + 10% FBS and resuspended at 2 × 107 cells/ml in PBS supplemented with 0.4 μg ml−1 LPS (Sigma-Aldrich). DCs were injected (5 × 105 cells in 25 μl) subcutaneously into the hind footpads. For CD4+ T cell and CD8+ T cell transfer experiments, T cells isolated as described above were injected intravenously in 100 μl PBS per mouse.

Single-cell suspensions from BT-II or OT-II mouse lymph nodes were incubated with anti-CD4 MicroBeads isolated on a MACS LS column (Miltenyi Biotec, Singapore). Splenic dendritic cells (DCs) were digested with Liberase Cl (Roche, Switzerland) at 37°C for 30 min and isolated by centrifugation over OptiPrep Density Gradient Medium (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO), incubated with anti-mouse CD11c MicroBeads, and passed through a MACS LS column (Miltenyi Biotec). BT-II and OT-II CD4 T cells and splenic DCs were cocultured in 48-well plates with 10 μg/ml Blo t 555–70 peptide (IIRELDVVCAMIEGAQ) or OVA323–339, respectively (AnaSpec, Fremont, CA); 20 ng/ml IL-4 (PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ)1; 20 μg/ml anti-mouse IFN-γ; 20 μg/ml anti-mouse IL-12/IL-23 p40 (eBioscience, ImmunoCell, Singapore); and 20 μg/ml mouse IFN-γ R1/CD119 Ab (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). Cells were restimulated on days 3, 7, and 11 with Blo t 555–70, cytokines, and neutralizing Abs. Fresh DCs were added on day 7. Th2-polarized BT-II cells were harvested on day 14.

A mixture of OVA peptides was administrated in a s.c. injection in mice anesthetized by i.p. injection of xylazine (10 mg/kg) and ketamine (100 mg/kg). OVA257–264 (SIINFEKL) (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA, USA) is a class I (Kb)-restricted peptide epitope of OVA presented by the class I MHC molecule (CMH) H-2Kb. OVA323–339 (ISQAVHAAHAEINEAGR) (AnaSpec, San Jose, CA, USA) is an H-2b-restricted OVA class II epitope. 100 μg of each peptide emulsified with the same volume of IFA (Sigma-Aldrich) was administered. Controls were injected with PBS-IFA complexes. OVA peptides and PBS-IFA complexes were injected 2 h or 21 days post-first i.p. injection of MnTBAP (or PBS). Eight days post-OVA peptide injection, mice were sacrificed, and spleens were harvested to analyze OVA-specific T cell response.

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.
