Anti cd40 hm40 3

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Anti-CD40 (HM40-3) is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the CD40 receptor on the surface of B cells and other antigen-presenting cells. It is used as a research tool to study the role of CD40-mediated signaling in immune responses and cellular functions.

B cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Nacalai) supplemented with 10% FBS (Sigma-Aldrich), penicillin and streptomycin antibiotics (Nacalai), Hepes (Nacalai), glutamine (Nacalai), sodium pyruvate (Nacalai), nonessential amino acids (Nacalai), and β-mercaptoethanol (Nacalai). Purified naive B cells were stimulated with 1 µg/ml anti-CD40 (HM40-3; eBioscience) or 1 µg/ml F(ab′)2 goat anti-IgM (16-5092-85; eBioscience) or 1 µg/ml F(ab′)2 goat anti-IgG (16-5098-85; eBioscience). For ex vivo stimulation of Pre-GC, splenocytes from day 9 PyNL-infected mice were stimulated with 1 µg/ml anti-CD40 (eBioscience) and/or with 1 µg/ml anti-IgG (eBioscience) and 1 µg/ml anti-IgM (eBioscience). Cells were harvested at the time points indicated in the figure legends.

B Cell Stimulation and Proliferation

CD43 FO B cells were enriched from lymph nodes by immunomagnetic depletion of non-B cells with CD43-MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec). The sorted cells were labeled with 5 μM CellTrace™ Violet dye (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in PBS for 20 min at 37 °C. After washing with stimulation medium (RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FCS, 1 mM glutamine and 50 μM β-mercaptoethanol), the cells were seeded at a density of 0.5 × 106 cells in 1 ml of stimulation medium containing 1.3 μg/ml anti-IgM antibody (II/41) plus 10 ng/ml IL-4 or 1.5 μg/ml anti-CD40 (HM40-3, eBioscience), 1 μg/ml HEL (Sigma/Roche), 1 μg/ml (0.2 μM) CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN1826, InvivoGen), 2 μg/ml Pam3 (Pam3CSK4, Invivogen), 1 μg/ml Resiquimod (R848, Invivogen) or 25 μg/ml LPS. At day 4, the proliferation of the stimulated B cells was assessed by flow cytometric analysis. Live/dead separation for in vitro cultured cells was achieved by staining with fixable viability dye eFluor780 (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

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.
