Six-week-old female C57BL/6N mice were purchased from Japan SLC (Shizuoka, Japan) and kept in a specific pathogen-free environment. The animal use proposal and experimental protocols were reviewed and approved by The University of Tokyo Animal Care and Use Committee (ID:P15-125) and all animal procedures were conducted in accordance with institutional guidelines. The YTN2 and YTN16 cell lines [6 (link)] were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM, Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan) with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 100 μg/mL streptomycin, 100 U/mL penicillin (Nacalai Tesque), and MITO+ serum extender (Corning, Corning, NY, USA). Anti-PD-1 (RMP1-14), PD-L1 (10F9G2), CTLA-4 (9H10), and CD8α (53–6.7) mAbs were from Bio X Cell (Lebanon, NH, USA). DimerXI:Recombinant Soluble Dimeric Mouse H-2Db:Ig (H-2Db dimer), DimerXI:Recombinant Soluble Dimeric Mouse H-2Kb:Ig (H-2Kb dimer) were from BD Biosciences (Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). FITC-conjugated anti-CD3ε, PerCP/Cyanine5.5-conjugated anti-CD4, APC/Cyanine7-conjugated anti-CD8, APC-conjugated anti-IFN-γ and Pacific Blue-conjugated anti-CD45 mAbs were from BioLegend (San Diego, CA, USA).

To detect cell proliferation, sorted CD8+ T cells were labelled with CellTrace™ Violet reagent (5 mM; Life Technologies) in PBS and incubated for 15 min at 37 °C after treatment with siRNA for 6 h. Labelled CD8+ T cells were stimulated for 4 days with Phytohemagglutinin (PHA, 5 μg/ml, Sigma) [30 (link)]. Proliferation was measured at day 4 using a BD LSRII flow cytometer (Becton–Dickinson). To detect apoptosis, sorted CD8+ T cells from HCs were stimulated for 48 h with PHA after treatment with siRNA for 6 h. The cells were then stained with PE-conjugated-Annexin V and 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD, Biolegend) for 30 min at 4 °C and analysed using an LSRII flow cytometer. An intracellular IFN-γ stimulation assay, was carried out in which freshly isolated CD8+ T cells were transfected with siRNA for 48 h and then stimulated for 6 h with 2 µl/ml Cell Activation Cocktail (each vial of this cocktail contained phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate 40.5 µM, ionomycin 669.3 µM, and Brefeldin A 2.5 mg/ml in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) Biolegend). Finally, the cells were intracellularly stained with APC-conjugated anti-IFN-γ (Biolegend) and analysed using an LSRII flow cytometer.

Cells were stained with PE-conjugated anti-PD-L1, PerCp-conjugated anti-7-AAD, APC-Cy7-conjugated anti-CD3, PE-Cy7-conjugated anti-CD8, APC-conjugated anti-IFN-γ, and FITC-conjugated anti-granzyme B antibodies (BioLegend, USA). Dead cells were stained using 7-AAD. Among them, IFN-γ and granzyme B were used for intracellular staining as follows: cells were first fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% saponin in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) buffer. Next, cells were incubated in the dark for 15 min on ice with antibodies labeled with fluorochrome. For surface assessment, cells were incubated with fluorochrome-labeled antibodies directly. The cell phenotype was determined using cytofluorimetric analysis by flow cytometer (BD FACSCanto II, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We measured cytokine and cytolytic granule production (IFNγ, GZMB and TNFα) of CD8+ T cells from mouse tumour samples and tumour organoid-T cell co-culture. Briefly, CD8+ T cells were placed into the 24-well plate at 1 × 106 cells/well, stimulated with 1 μM ionomycin and 50 ng ml−1 phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (Sigma-Aldrich) for 4 h, in the presence of 5 μg ml−1 Brefeldin A (BFA), with the purpose to amplify the expression of intracellular cytokines61 (link). The cells were stained with APC/Cy7-conjugated anti-CD8a (Biolegend) for 15 min and then fixed by 4% PFA. After washing, cells were stained with PerCP/Cy7-conjugated anti-GZMB, APC-conjugated anti-IFNγ and PE-conjugated anti-TNFα (Biolegend) for 15 min. In flow cytometric analyses, T cells stained with isotype control antibodies were used as negative controls for gating the cytokine or granule-producing cells. For T cells from tumour organoid-T cell co-culture, tumour organoids were first digested into single cells with TrypLE Express at 37°C before APC/Cy7-conjugated anti-CD8a staining. In the IFNγ and TNFα secretion assay (Biolegend), T cells were stimulated with ionomycin and PMA without the presence of BFA. The media were collected for ELISA assay.

Single‐cell suspensions from the LN, spleen, and the CNS of mice were stained with extracellular fluorochrome‐conjugated CD antibodies (Biolegend), along with APC‐conjugated MOG38‐49 I‐Ab tetramer (NIH tetramer core, peptide sequence: GWYRSPFSRVVH) and Brilliant Violet 421‐conjugated human CLIP87‐101 I‐Ab tetramer as a control (peptide sequence: PVSKMRMATPLLMQA). Then, cells were fixed and permeabilized using the kit (eBioscience, Cat# 00‐5523‐00) for intracellular staining of PE‐conjugated anti‐FoxP3 (eBioscience Cat# 12‐5773‐82) per the instruction. For intracellular staining of CNS isolated immune cells, cells were stimulated with PMA (5 ng/ml), ionomycin (500 ng/ml), and protein transport inhibitor (0.7 µl/ml, BD Biosciences. Cat# 51‐2092KZ) for 5hrs, followed by extracellular marker and intracellular cytokine antibody staining. Data were analyzed using FlowJo™ v10 software. Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was defined as the “medians” of fluorescence intensities of the conjugated fluorochromes of the antibodies.
Cells isolated from the CP were incubated with PMA, ionomycin, and protein transport inhibitor as above for 5 h, followed by extracellular staining with PerCP/Cy5.5 conjugated anti‐CD45 (Biolegend, Cat# 103132) and intracellular staining with APC‐conjugated anti‐IFN‐γ (Biolegend, Cat# 505810).

After drug treatment, IFNγ and GZMB expression levels in CD8 T cells incorporated in tumor organoids were detected. Tumor organoids were digested into single cells by TrypLE Express at 37 °C shaking at 300 rpm for 15 min. The single cells including CD8 T cells were stimulated with 50 ng mL−1 phorbol 12‐myristate 13‐acetate (PMA) (Sigma‐Aldrich) and 1 µm ionomycin (Sigma‐Aldrich) for 4 h, in the presence of 5 µg mL−1 Brefeldin A, which can amplify intracellular cytokine staining signals.[64] The cells were stained with APC/Cy7‐conjugated anti‐CD8α (BioLegend) and later PerCP/Cy7‐conjugated anti‐GZMB and APC‐conjugated anti‐IFNγ (BioLegend) for intracellular staining. The stained cells were analyzed by flow cytometry.

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.
