Naive (CD4+CD25CD62LhighCD44low) and memory-like (CD4+CD25CD62LlowCD44high) T cells from the spleens and lymph nodes of 7–12-week-old mice were isolated using a FACS Aria cell sorter II (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Purified naive and memory-like CD4+ T cells were stimulated with IL-1β (20 ng/mL, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), IL-23 (20 ng/mL, R&D Systems), IL-7 (10 ng/mL, Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA), or plate-bound anti-CD3/CD28 (2 μg/mL, BD Biosciences). Cytokines and other reagents used in further cell culture experiments included TNF (20 ng/mL, Peprotech), IL-12 (10 ng/mL, Peprotech), IL-1RA (100 ng/mL, R&D Systems), Bay 11-7082 (1 μM, Calbiochem, San Diego, CA, USA), SB203580 (1 μM, Calbiochem), and CsA (50 ng/mL, Calbiochem). To generate OT-II memory-like TH17 cells in vitro, naive (CD4+Vα11+CD25CD62LhighCD44low) T cells were sorted from either OT-II or IL-1R1-deficient (Il1r1−/−) OT-II mice. These CD4+ T cells were primed with anti-CD3/CD28 (4 μg/mL) in the presence of TGF-β (0.5 ng/mL, R&D Systems), IL-6 (30 ng/mL, BD Biosciences), and IL-23 (20 ng/mL, BD Biosciences).

Spleens were trimmed of any residual adipose tissue and single cell suspensions of spleens were prepared by mechanical disruption and dispersion through 40 μm pore-size strainers using the plunger end of a 1 mL syringe. Red blood cells were lysed with ACK lysis buffer (Lonza), washed and filtered through fresh 40 μm pore-size strainers. Cells were then centrifuged and re-suspended in Dulbecco’s modified eagle medium, DMEM (Life Technologies) before seeding at 2×106 cells per well into a 96-well plate. Cells were then incubated in the presence or absence of 10 ug/mL anti-CD3/CD28 (BD Bioscience) or 2 μg/mL of 10-sE2 peptide mix (BEI Resources NR-3749) at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 6 hours in the presence of Brefeldin A. Cells were then surface stained and fixed/permeabilized overnight and intracellular cytokine staining was performed the next day. All samples were acquired on a MACS Quant Analyzer 10 and analyzed with Flowjo version 10 software.

After 8 or 12 weeks, mice were euthanised and spleens were collected aseptically, weighed and single-cell suspensions were prepared as previously described (24) . Splenocytes were seeded into ninety-six-well round-bottom cell culture plates (2 × 10 5 /well) and incubated in the presence of T-cell mitogens: concanavalin A (Con A) (Sigma-Aldrich) at 0•5, 1•5 or 3 µg/ml; phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) (Difco Laboratories) at 2•5, 5 or 20 µg/ml; or platecoated anti-T-cell receptor antibodies (anti-CD3) at 1 or 5 µg/ml without or with soluble anti-CD28 (anti-CD3/CD28; BD Biosciences) at 2 µg/ml for 72 h. Cultures were pulsed with 0•5 µCi [ 3 H]-thymidine during the final 4 h of incubation. Cells were harvested onto glass fibre filter mats, and cell proliferation was quantified as the amount of [ 3 H]-thymidine incorporation into DNA by liquid scintillation counting in a 1205 Betaplate counter (Wallac). Data are expressed as counts per min.

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.
