Naive CD4+T cells were isolated from spleens of MRL/lpr mice by using the Dynabeads Untouched Mouse CD4 Cell Kit (Life Technologies AS, Norway). For Tfh cell differentiation, naive CD4+T cells were cultured for 5 days with 10 ng/ml IL-21 (PeproTech, USA), 10 ng/ml IL-6 (PeproTech), and 25 µl of anti-CD3/anti-CD28 antibody (BD Biosciences Pharmingen, USA) with various doses of Baicalin (dissolved in DMSO and diluted with PBS) or a DMSO-PBS vehicle as a control. For Foxp3+ regulatory T cell differentiation, sorted naive CD4+T cells were cultured for 5 days with 5 ng/ml TGF-β (PeproTech), 30 U/ml IL-2 (PeproTech, USA), and 50 ng/ml anti-CD3/anti-CD28 antibody (BD Biosciences Pharmingen) with or without Baicalin as described above. For some differentiation experiments, 10 μM mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) agonist (MHY1485; MedChem Express, USA),or 200 ng/ml mTOR antagonist rapamycin (LC Laboratories) was added with 40 μM Baicalin for 5 days.
For some experiment, sorted naive CD4+T cells were cultured for 5 days with 5 ng/ml TGF-β, 30 U/ml IL-2, and 50 ng/ml anti-CD3/anti-CD28 antibody with or without 40 μM Baicalin for 5 days, then these 1 × 106 Baicalin-induced Foxp3+ regulatory T cells or 1 × 106 vehicle-induced Foxp3+ regulatory T cells were injected intravenously into MRL/lpr mice weekly for 4 weeks.

Using a well-established protocol [3 (link)], splenic CD4+CD45RBhigh T cells from C57BL/6 WT mice were adoptively transferred into same-sex 8–12-week-old Rag1tm1Mom mice. First, the spleens from C57BL/6 WT mice were removed and placed in FACS buffer (PBS, fetal bovine serum, and sodium azide). Then, the spleens were homogenized by rubbing between glass slides until a single-cell suspension was created. The single-cell suspension was passed through a 70µm cell strainer. Cells were enriched by negative isolation using Dynabeads Untouched Mouse CD4 Cell Kit (Life Technologies AS, Carksbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. CD4 cells were fluorescently labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) rat anti-mouse CD45RB (Thermo Fischer Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and phycoerythrin (PE) rat anti-mouse CD4 (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). CD4+ T cells were sorted using a Becton-Dickenson Influx cell sorter by double gating on CD4+ singlet cells and the brightest 40% CD45RBhigh cells. Cells were sorted into tubes containing post-sorting buffer (PBS, EDTA, FBS) to stabilize the post-sorted T cells. In total, 5 × 105 CD4+CD45RBhigh T cells were then injected intraperitoneally into recipient Rag1tm1Mom mice of the same sex as the T cell donors.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CD4+ T cells were purified from the spleen and lymph nodes using the Dynabeads® Untouched™ Mouse CD4 Cell Kit (Life Technologies). Purified CD4+ T cells were stimulated overnight using plate-bound anti-CD3ε and anti-CD28 antibodies (5µg/ml each). In the case of LLO118 T cells, 10µM LLO190-205 peptide was applied to mixed lymphocytes from mouse lymph node to stimulated CD4+ T cells. Spin infection of stimulated T cells using retrovirus was performed at 1258g for 90min at 37°C. Virus-infected cells were then used for in vitro or in vivo experiments.
The PPIF shRNA-silencing vectors were generated by ligating PPIF shRNA into the MSCV plasmid. The shRNA sequence for PPIF sh665 and PPIF sh710 (shPPIF) can be found in Supplemental Experimental Procedures.

CD4+ T cells from BALB/c DO11.10 mice were negatively selected using Dynabeads untouched mouse CD4 cell kit (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA). Cells were labeled with carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE; eBioscience) and 107 cells in 200 μl PBS were injected intravenously into naïve BALB/c mice. After 2 days, virosomes, liposomes, or PBS was administrated intranasally as described above. Three days later, LDLNs and NDLNs were collected and stained for surface markers and intracellular cytokines as mentioned above. Antigen-specific T cell proliferation (CFSE dilution) and cytokine production were measured by flow cytometry and analyzed with FlowJo9 software (TreeStar).

CD4+T cells were isolated from the total lymphocytes population in the lymph nodes (LNs) using a Dynabeads® Untouched™ Mouse CD4 cell kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, cells were incubated with an antibody mixture for 20 min. Bead-bound cells were then incubated for 15 min in Dynabeads buffer. The bead-free cells were then transferred to a new tube and resuspended in fresh medium. The isolated CD4+ T cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Gibco, Uxbridge, UK) containing L-Glutamine and 25 mM HEPES and supplemented with 10% (vol/vol) FBS (Gibco), 100 U/mL penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco), and 0.05 mM 2-β-mercapto-ethanol. For the cytokine analysis, isolated CD4+T cells (1.0 × 106 cells/mL) were incubated in the presence or absence of PMA (10 ng/mL) and Ionomycin (1 μg/mL) with indicated concentrations of APO-9 (6.25 to 50 μM) for 4 hr.

Purified CD4+ T cells were isolated from C57BL/6 splenocytes using the Dynabeads untouched mouse CD4 Cell kit (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Purified CD4+ T lymphocytes were cultured in RPMI Medium 1640 with GlutaMAX supplemented with 10 % FBS, 1 units/ml penicillin/0.1 mg/ml streptomycin, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 20 mM HEPES, and 50 μM of β-mercaptoethanol (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY, USA). T cells were stimulated in 48-well plates coated with anti-CD3 (2 μg/ml) and anti-CD28 (1 μg/ml) antibodies (BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA, USA) and were subjected to specific T-cell differentiation. Th1 differentiation was induced by adding 5 ng/ml of IL-12 and 2.5 μg/ml of anti-IL-4. Th17 differentiation was induced by adding TGF-β (5 ng/ml), IL-6 (50 ng/ml), and IL-23 (5 ng/ml) and neutralizing antibodies for IFN-γ and IL-4 (2.5 μg/ml each). Each stimulation period lasted 5 days. T cells were plated into the wells, and MSCs were added in a 1:10 ratio (MSCs:CD4+ T cells). For FACS analysis, differentiated Th1 and Th17 cells were restimulated with PMA/ionomycin for 3.5 hours in the presence of brefeldin for the last 2.5 hours of incubation at 37 °C before antibody staining.

To assess STAT5 phosphorylation, iTreg cells differentiated in the presence of TGFβ alone, TGFβ+ VitC or TGFβ+ RA + VitC were collected and washed on day 6 after differentiation. 1.5–2 × 106 cells were plated in 100 μl culture medium in a round‐bottom 96‐well plate. The cells were rested for 1 h at 37°C and then mixed with 100 μl of 2X IL‐2 cytokine mix to get a final concentration of 0, 3, 5, 10, and 100 U/ml of IL‐2. The cells were then restimulated with IL‐2 at 37°C for 1 h. After restimulation, cells were fixed with 4% Paraformaldehyde (Electron Microscopy Sciences) at room temperature for 10 min. The fixed cells were washed twice with MACS buffer, permeabilized by adding 100 μl of ice‐cold True‐Phos Perm Buffer (BioLegend), and incubated for at least 1 h at −20°C. The cells were then washed twice with MACS buffer, stained with mouse anti‐Stat5 (pY694) (Clone: 47/Stat5 (pY694); Alexa Fluor 647; 10 µl/assay; catalog #612599; BD Biosciences) and analyzed by flow cytometry on LSR‐II. To examine STAT5 phosphorylation in endogenous Treg cells, CD4+ T cells were isolated from Tet2fl/flTet3fl/fl Foxp3‐eGFP CD4CRE mice and littermate controls using Dynabeads Untouched Mouse CD4 Cell Kit (Invitrogen) and used for IL‐2 restimulation (10 and 100 U/ml of IL‐2). CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells were gated to examine the level of STAT5 phosphorylation.

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.
