For cytokine assay, splenocytes were distributed in a 24-well culture plate at a density of 1 × 106/ml and stimulated with 10 ug/ml VP1 protein for 72 h. These cells were also stimulated with 500 ng/ml Ionomycin (Sigma-Aldrich) and 50 ng/ml PMA (Sigma-Aldrich) plus 5 ng/ml Brefeldin A (eBioscience) at 37°C and 5% CO2 for the last 5 h. And then splenocytes were collected and stained with the following anti-mouse antibodies: PE-conjugated IFN-γ+, APC-conjugated CD8 (dilution 1:100, Biolegend, San Diego, CA). For detection of memory CD8 T cells, splenocytes from immunized mice were isolated and performed cell surface staining with the following anti-mouse antibodies: APC-conjugated CD8, FITC-conjugated CD44, and PE-conjugated CD62L (dilution 1:100, Biolegend, San Diego, CA). All flow cytometry data were acquired on a BD FACSCanto II (BD Biosciences) in FACSDiva software (BD Biosciences) and analyzed by FlowJo software (Tree Star Inc.).

Freshly isolated splenocytes (1 × 10E6) were seeded in 96-well plates and stimulated with 5 μg/mL Ag85B antigen or 1 μ/mL ESAT-6 antigen. As positive control, the cells were stimulated with 1 μg/mL α-CD3 (BioLegends). Antigen-specific T cell proliferation was analyzed after 6 days of incubation with antigens. The cells were blocked, as described above, and subsequently stained with PerCP/Cy5.5-conjugated CD4, Brilliant Violet 510™-conjugated CD8a, FITC-conjugated CD44, PE-conjugated CD62L and Brilliant Violet 421™- conjugated CD90.2 antibodies (all from BioLegends), all diluted 1:100. After staining, the cells were fixed using eBioscience™ Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set and permeabilized using eBioscience™ Permeabilization Buffer, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Subsequently, cells were intracellularly stained with 1:50 diluted APC-conjugated Ki-67 antibody (BioLegends) and analyzed by flow cytometry.

Isolation and Osteogenic Differentiation of BMSCs

After the second passage, the cells were collected and identified using fluorescently-labeled antibodies for BMSC markers: Allophycocyanin-conjugated CD29 (cat. no. 102225; BioLegend, Inc.); FITC-conjugated CD44 (cat. no. 203906; BioLegend, Inc.); FITC-conjugated CD45 (cat. no. 202205; BioLegend, Inc.); and phycoerythrin-conjugated CD34 (ab223930; Abcam). Briefly, the cells were incubated with corresponding antibodies for 30 min at 4°C in the dark and then washed with PBS. The expression levels of different cell surface markers were detected using FACSCalibur flow cytometer and analyzed using CellQuestPro version 5.1.1 software (BD Biosciences).
After detecting the purity, BMSCs from the second passage were used in subsequent experiments. To induce osteogenic differentiation, BMSCs were initially cultured in complete culture media as aforementioned. When the cells reached 80% confluence, osteogenic-inducing medium [α-MEM (Cyagen Biosciences) supplemented with 10% FBS, 50 mg/ml ascorbate, 10 mM β-glycerophosphate, 100 nM dexamethasone and 1% penicillin-streptomycin] was used. Lastly, the plates were stained with alizarin red and alkaline phosphatase at four time-points (0, 3, 7, and 14 days).

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.
