Cd4 apc

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The CD4-APC is a cell surface marker used for the identification and enumeration of CD4+ T cells in flow cytometry analysis. It is a fluorescently labeled antibody that binds specifically to the CD4 antigen expressed on the surface of T helper cells. The APC (Allophycocyanin) fluorochrome attached to the antibody emits a red-orange fluorescent signal when excited, allowing for the detection and quantification of CD4+ cells in a sample.

Suppressive Capacity of DC-induced T-cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To analyze the suppressive capacity of the different DC‐induced T‐cell, cells were harvested from the ASA 96‐well plate on day 7, thoroughly washed and co‐incubated with freshly isolated allogenic responder CD4+T‐cell at a ratio of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4. To track the proliferation of responder T‐cell in the suppression assay, responder cells were pre‐labeled with CFSE (Thermo Fisher Scientific, The Netherlands) according to the manufacturers’ instructions, at a final concentration of 1uM. Dynabeads® human T‐Activator CD3/CD28 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, The Netherlands) were added to activate the responder T‐cell. After 5 days, the mix of ASA cells and CFSE labeled responder CD4+ T‐cell was stained with Fixable viability dye eFluor 780 and CD4 APC (both eBioscience, the Netherlands). Suppressive capacity was determined by setting gates on proliferated CD4+ T‐cell and comparing the percentage of proliferated cells of different conditions.

Annexin V apoptosis assay was performed to evaluate the effect of dexamethasone on the viability of CTLs from Cas9 control and NR3C1 KO groups. CTLs from both groups were treated with 200 μM dexamethasone (Sigma) for 72 hours. Cells were then collected, washed with Annexin V buffer, and stained with Annexin V (V500; BD Biosciences) and live/dead viability dye (efluor 660; Invitrogen) in addition to CD3 APC Cy7 (Biolegend, Clone HIT3A), CD4 APC (E Biosciences, Clone SK3), and CD8 PerCP Cy5.5 (Biolegend, Clone SK1). The proportion of apoptotic (positive for Annexin V) and dead CTLs (positive for live/dead stain) was determined by flow cytometry.
To confirm the ability of SARS-CoV-2 CTLs to mediate cytotoxicity, autologous PBMCs were labeled with carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) per manufacturer’s recommendation and loaded with SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S) (peptide pool 1 or 2), Membrane (M) and Nucleocapsid (N) PepMix (JPT, Germany) [1μg /ml per peptide] overnight. The next day, the SARS-CoV-2 PepMix-loaded PBMCs were co-cultured with the expanded CTLs at 1:1 ratio for 16 hours followed by Annexin V staining as described above. The proportion of dead/apoptotic PBMCs (Live/Dead+ and Annexin V+) was determined by flow cyometry.

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.
