Isolation and Analysis of Cytotoxic T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CD8+ T cells were enriched from PBMCs by negative selection using magnetic bead separation according to the manufacturer’s instructions (STEMCELL Technologies), added to uninfected or infected A549 cells at a ratio of 3:1, and incubated for 16 h in the presence of α-TNF (Beckman Coulter) and TAPI-O (EMD Millipore) to prevent TNF cleavage from the cell surface (Haney et al., 2011 (link)). The following day, cells were stained with: (a) α-CD4 and α-CD8 (BioLegend) and (b) α–TRAV1-2 and α–TCRγδ (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Dead cells were excluded from the analysis using propidium iodide (BioLegend). Viable CD4TCRγδCD8+TRAV1-2+TNF+ cells were sorted at high purity using a FACSAria flow cytometer (BD) directly into RNAlater (Applied Biosystems). The corresponding nonfunctional populations were sorted in parallel for control purposes. In all cases, cell numbers were standardized (5,000 per aliquot) to minimize sampling bias.

Tetramer Competition Assay for TCR Quantification

Spleens and tumour draining lymph nodes were pooled from Treg depleted or replete mice. CD8+ T cells were purified from disaggregated tissues using magnetic isolation by negative selection (Miltenyi). Purified CD8+ T cells were incubated with 50 nM of dasatinib (New England Biolabs) to prevent TcR internalisation before staining with α-CD8, α-TCR β-chain (H57-597; Biolegend), and 5 μg of PE-labelled GSW11-specific tetramers. After two washes, cells were incubated with bleached tetramer at varying ratios of the initial PE-labelled tetramers: 2.5, 5, 10 or 20 μg per test. Bleached tetramers were tested for no/minimal PE-fluorescence before use. The β-chain TCR staining was included to confirm the decreasing levels of PE staining was due to the fluorescently labelled tetramer being out-competed and not due to TcR internalisation.

Comprehensive Tumor Immune Profiling

Chopped tumor tissues were enzymatically digested using the dissociation buffer supplemented with 1 mg/ml Collagenase B (11088807001, Roche) and 1 mg/ml Hyaluronidase (H3506, Sigma-Aldrich) for 1 h at 37 °C. The prepared single-cell suspensions were filtered through 40-μm nylon meshes (352340, Corning) and centrifuged at 400 g for 5 min. Then, the centrifuged cells were treated with red blood cell lysis buffer (C3702, Beyotime). Subsequently, the cells were dyed with Fixable Viability Stain 780 (565388, BD), and Fc receptors were blocked with Ultra-LEAF™ Purified anti-mouse CD16/32 (101320, BioLegend). Cells were then fluorescently stained with the following detection antibodies: α-CD45 (103132, BioLegend), α-CD3 (100206, BioLegend), α-CD8 (100706, BioLegend), α-Ki67 (151215, BioLegend), α-CD69 (104536, BioLegend), α-CD25 (102012, BioLegend), α-CD107a (121629, BioLegend), α-Granzyme-B (372214, BioLegend), α-IFN-γ (505838, BioLegend). Brilliant Stain Buffer (563794, BD Biosciences) and True-Nuclear™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set (424401, BioLegend) were used in this assay. Flow cytometry was performed using Beckman CytoFLEX LX, and the data were analyzed by FlowJo_V10.

Generation of Bone Marrow Chimeras

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BM chimeras were generated by irradiating B6 (CD45.1) recipient mice twice with 550 Rads, 3 h apart. BM from hind legs of donor mice was flushed and T cells depleted with anti‐CD4 (clone RL172), anti‐CD8 (clone 3.168), anti‐Thy1 (clone Jlj) and rabbit complement. Incubation of BM with antibodies was performed for 30 min on ice followed by cell resuspension in 1 mL of complement for 20 min at 37°C. About 5 × 106 T‐cell–depleted BM cells were injected intravenously into recipient mice; 24 h after irradiation, recipient mice were injected intraperitoneally with 100 μL of α‐CD4 and α‐CD8 T‐cell monoclonal antibodies (clone RL172 and clone 3.168, respectively) to eliminate radioresistant T cells. Submandibular bleeds were performed > 8 weeks after irradiation to determine BM reconstitution by staining blood with a cocktail of α‐CD45.1 (eBioscience, Fischer Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), α‐CD45.2 (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA), anti‐CD4 (BioLegend), α‐CD8 (BioLegend) and α‐CD62L (BioLegend). Live cells were discriminated with a fixable LIVE/DEAD stain (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA).

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.
