Bladder Immune Cell Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
5 BCG treated rats, 5 untreated rats, and 20 controls rat were sacrificed and bladders were processed in single cell suspensions. Cells were stained for CD4-FITC, CD8-Percp, Live/Dead–Nir (1:10000) and CD3-APC (Biolegend). Samples were sorted using a FACSAria II (BD) and CD4 and CD8 T cells were isolated into Trizol (Fisher) for each sample. For control animals, the 20 control rat bladders were pooled into control samples due to low lymphocyte infiltration. RNA was extracted and purified using RNA Clean & Concentrator™-5 (Zymo, Irvine, CA). RNA transcript levels were assessed according to previously published methodology (15 (link)). RNA amplification and cRNA biotinylation were performed as described in the Affymetrix manual. Gene expression analysis was subsequently performed using an Affymetrix Rat Gene 1.0 ST Array.

The MHC class I tetramer (PE) specific for H-2Db-resricted epitope of the influenza nucleoprotein (NP, DbNP366-74) of PR/8 was obtained from the NIH Tetramer Core Facility (Atlanta, GA). Stained cells were subsequently analyzed on a CyAn ADP Analyzer flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Inc., Fullerton, CA), and all flow cytometry data were analyzed via FlowJo Software (TreeStar, Ashland, OR). All flow cytometry analysis of T cells consisted of a doublet exclusion gate followed by gating of CD3+ cells for further analysis of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell populations.

Afterwards, cells were washed and incubated with 2.5 µg/mL of the respective tetramer in tetramer solution (FACS buffer with 50% FCS) for 30 min at RT. Finally, cell surface molecules were stained with CD8-PerCP (Biolegend, 301030) for 20 min at 4°C.
Intracellular cytokine staining was performed by incubating in vitro primed T cells with 10 µg/mL candidate or control peptide, Golgi-Stop-Solution (BD Bioscience, 554724) and anti-CD107a-FITC antibody (BD Bioscience, 555800) for 6 h.

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.
