B Cell Proliferation Assay

Naive B cells have been isolated from 3 polled spleens of sex-matched 12-weeks-old littermate mice using CD43 microbead (Miltenyi Biotec) negative selection and were cultured in RPMI 1640 containing 15% FBS. B cells were activated by the addition of 20 µg/ml LPS (Sigma) and IL-4 (R&D Systems) at 20 ng/ml to the culture media. Both primary murine B-cells and human MM cell lines have been stained with 5 μM CFSE according to manufacturer’s instructions and cultured for 72 h or 48 and 72 h, respectively. To calculate the rate of CFSE fluorescent signal dilution autofluorescence, defined as the signal from unstained samples, have been subtracted from the fluorescence of the stained cells and initial (0 h) values have been divided by ones measured at 48 and 72 h. The results were presented as relative to the control transfected with an empty vector.

Splenic B cells from sex-matched littermate mice were prepared using CD43 microbead (Miltenyi Biotec) negative selection and cultured in RPMI 1640 containing 15% FBS. Ex vivo CSR cultures using the ROSA26CreERt2 allele were cultured for 16 h with 100 nM4-hydroxytamoxifen (Sigma) and 20 μg ml−1 LPS (Sigma) followed by the addition of IL-4 (R&D Systems) at 20 ng ml−1, and cultured for an additional 72 h. CSR culture conditions using the AicdaCre allele were identical with the exception that 4-hydroxytamoxifen was not used. Cells were stained using fluorescent antibodies against B220 and IgG1 (BD Biosciences). Data were acquired on a FACSAria cell sorter (BD Biosciences) and analysed using FloJo software (Tree Star). Antibodies used for western blot purposes: Exosc3 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), actin (Abcam) and goat anti-rabbit IgG HRP (Jackson ImmunoResearch). All experiments involving mice were performed with known genotypes and therefore performed unblinded. Biological replicates involve B cells isolated from separate mice.

Evaluating B Cell Viability and Apoptosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To analyze B cell viability in vitro, B cells were purified from the spleens using CD43 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) as described by the manufacturer. The purified B cells were either left untreated in the medium (RPMI with 10% FBS) or stimulated with 10 μg/ml of anti-IgM F(ab′)2 (Jackson ImmunoResearch) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 5 μg/ml) for the indicated times. The viability of cells was measured by trypan blue exclusion assay (Invitrogen).
For analysis of apoptosis, splenocytes were stimulated with 10 μg/ml of anti-IgM F(ab′)2 (Jackson ImmunoResearch) for 30 hours. The cells were stained with anti-B220 antibody, and the apoptotic B cells (B220+ gated cells) were assayed using the Annexin V apoptosis detection kit (BD Bioscience) as previously described [30 (link), 34 (link)].
In vitro proliferation assay was performed as previously described [30 (link), 42 (link), 43 ]. Briefly, splenocytes (5 × 106) were stained with CFSE (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) at a final concentration of 2 μM for 10 minutes. The cells were washed and then treated either with medium (RPMI with 10% FBS) alone or medium plus anti-IgM F(ab′)2 or LPS for 30 hours. The flow cytometry analysis was carried out on B220+ gated cells [26 (link), 30 (link)].

GC B cells were MACS-purified, collecting the negative fraction of CD43 Microbeads, CD38 (90) Biotin (Thermo Fisher Scientific), CD11c (N418) Biotin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and anti-Biotin Microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec). Cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Corning) supplemented with 10% FBS (MilliporeSigma and Thermo Fisher Scientific), 1x Penicillin-Streptomycin, 1x MEM Nonessential Amino Acids (Corning), 1mM Sodium Pyruvate, 2mM GlutaMax, and 55 μM 2-Mercaptoethanol (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Cells were stimulated with the following reagents: 10μg/ml goat anti-mouse IgM F(ab’)2, 10μg/ml goat anti-mouse IgG F(ab’)2 (Jackson ImmunoResearch Labs), 10μg/ml goat anti-mouse κ F(ab’)2 (SouthernBiotech), 10ng/ml mouse rBaff (R&D Systems), 5μg/ml rat anti-mouse CD40 (1C10) and 10ng/ml mouse rIL-4 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). For in vitro-derived GC B cell cultures, B splenocytes were cultured on 40LB cells (3T3 fibroblasts expressing CD40L and secreting BAFF) with addition of 1ng/ml mouse rIL-4.

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.
