PBMCs were thawed and B cells were enriched using EasySep™ pan B cell magnetic enrichment kit (STEMCELL). B cells were stained with a panel containing CD19 PE-Cy7 (Biolegend), IgM APC (Southern Biotech), CD27 BV605 (Biolegend), CD38 BB515 (BD Biosciences), and CD3 BV510 (BD Biosciences). B cells were stained with surface stain master mix and each COVID-19 antigen probe for 30 minutes on ice in 1X PBS supplemented with 0.2% BSA and 2 mM Pierce Biotin. Cells were stained with probe at a 1:100 dilution (NP, ORF8, RBD, PUUV, empty PE-SA) or 1:200 dilution (spike, endemic HCoV spikes). Cells were subsequently washed with 1X PBS 0.2% BSA and stained with Live/Dead BV510 (Thermo Fisher) in 1X PBS for 15 minutes. Cells were washed again and re-suspended at a maximum of 4 million cells/mL in 1X PBS supplemented with 0.2% BSA and 2 mM Pierce Biotin for downstream cell sorting using the MACSQuantTyto cartridge sorting platform (Miltenyi). Cells that were viable/CD19+/antigen-PE+ or viable/CD19+/antigen-APC+ were sorted as probe positive. The PE+ and APC+ gates were drawn by use of FMO controls. Cells were then collected from the cartridge sorting chamber and used for downstream 10X Genomics analysis.

Cells were stained with probe at a 1:100 dilution (NP, ORF7a, ORF8, RBD) or 1:200 dilution (spike). Cells were subsequently washed with 1X PBS 0.2% BSA and stained with Live/Dead BV510 (Thermo Fisher) in 1X PBS for 15 minutes.

Single cells suspensions were prepared from the spleens of 8-week old PrimPolΔ/Δ and their wild-type littermates. After the lysis of red blood cells, naïve splenic B cells were enriched by CD43 depletion using biotinylated anti-CD43 (Clone S7, BD Biosciences), and the IMag® system (BD Biosciences), as described by the manufacturer. Purified B cells were labelled for 10 min at 37°C with 5 μM carboxy fluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE, Molecular Probes) in IMDM medium containing 2% FCS. After washing, cells were cultured in IMDM, supplemented with 8% FCS, 50 μM 2-mercapthoethanol, penicillin/streptomycin at a density of 105 cells/well in 24 well plates. CSR to IgG3 and IgG1 was induced by exposure to LPS (50 μg/ml Escherichia Coli LPS, 055:B5, Sigma) or LPS/rIL-4 (rIL4 20 ng/ml). Four days later, the proliferative capacity was determined by CFSE dilution; CSR frequencies were determined by staining with CD19-PercpCy5.5 (BD), IgM-APC, and IgG3-PE (LPS cultures) or IgG1-PE (LPS/rIL4 cultures). IgM-APC, IgG1-PE and IgG3-PE were purchased from Southern Biotech. Data were acquired by flow cytometry (Fortessa®, BD) and analysed using FlowJo software (Version: 10.0.8r1).

B Cell Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PBMCs were isolated from heparinized peripheral blood (~15 ml) with Ficoll-Paque Plus (GE Healthcare), and stained with the following fluorochrome-labeled antibodies: CD19 PE-Cy5, CD10 Pacific Blue (BioLegend), IgD PerCP-Cy5.5, CD27 PE-Cy7, CD38 Alexa Fluor 700 (BD Pharmingen), and IgM APC (Southern Biotech). PBMCs were fixed (3% paraformaldehyde) and permeabilized (0.1% Tween-20) prior to staining with goat anti-human ARID3a antibody [21 (link)] and a rabbit anti-goat IgG FITC secondary (Invitrogen). Gating for individual B cell subsets was described previously [3 (link)] and used with the following B (CD20+) cell subset markers: transitional (IgD+CD27CD10+), naïve (IgD+CD27CD10+), MZ-like Memory (IgD+CD27+), Memory (IgD+CD27+), and double-negative (DN) (IgDCD27) B cells. Non-B cells were excluded using the following markers on the fluorochrome, APC: T cells (CD3), Monocytes, macrophages, and granulocytes (CD14), NK cells, neutrophils, macrophage and dendritic cells (CD16), and NK and NKT cells (CD56). Isotype controls (Caltag, BD Pharmingen, and eBioscience) were used for gating. Data (500,000 events per sample) were collected using an LSRII (BD Biogenics) and FACSDiva (BD Biosciences) software version 4.1 and were analyzed using FlowJo (Tree Star) software version 9.5.2.

Single cells suspensions were prepared from the spleen of 8 to 10-week-old C9orf82ko/ko mice and their wild-type littermates. Following erythrocytes lysis, naïve splenic B cells were enriched by the depletion of CD43 expressing cell using biotinylated anti-CD43 antibody (Clone S7, BD Biosciences), BD IMag Streptavidin Particles Plus and the IMag system (BD Biosciences), as described by the manufacturer. To measure their proliferative capacity, naïve B cells were labelled for 10 min at 37°C with 5 μM Carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE, Molecular Probes) in IMDM medium containing 2% FCS. After washing, cells were cultured in complete IMDM medium at a density of 105 cells/well in 24 well plates. CSR to IgG3 and IgG1 was induced by exposure to LPS (50 μg/ml Escherichia Coli LPS, 055:B5, Sigma) or LPS+rIL-4 (rIL4 20 ng/ml). Four days later, the cells were harvested and stained with CD19-PercpCy5.5 (BD), IgM-APC, and IgG3-PE (LPS cultures) or IgG1-PE (LPS/rIL4 cultures) to determine CSR frequency along with CFSE dilution as an indicator of cell multiplication. IgM-APC, IgG1-PE and IgG3-PE were purchased from Southern Biotech. Data were acquired by flow cytometry (Fortessa, BD) and analyzed using FlowJo software (Version: 10.0.8r1).

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.
