Seven days after immunization, single cell suspensions generated from spleens were subjected to ACK red blood cell lysis and counted using a Vi-Cell automated cell counter (Beckman Coulter). For in vitro stimulation assays, 1 × 106 cells were incubated with 1 μg/ml peptide and 3 μg/ml brefeldin A for 5 h at 37°C in complete media (RPMI 1640 containing 10% FBS, 10 mM HEPES, 0.1 mM β-ME, 0.1 mM non-essential amino acids, 0.1 mM sodium pyruvate, 2 mM L-glutamine and penicillin-streptomycin). After stimulation, cells were surfaced-stained with CD8α-BV421 (clone 53.67, BioLegend), CD4-FITC (GK1.5, BioLegend), B220-PE-Cy7 (clone RA3-6B2, Tonbo), and a fixable viability dye (Ghost Dye Red 780, Tonbo) for 10 min at room temperature. After staining for surface antigens, cells were fixed and permeabilized with FoxP3 fixation/permeabilization buffers (Tonbo) for 15 min at room temperature. After fixation and permeabilization, cells were washed in perm/wash buffer and stained for intracellular cytokines using IFNγ-APC (XMG1.2, Tonbo) and TNFα-PE (MP6-XT22, BD Biosciences) diluted in perm/wash buffer for 30 min at room temperature. After a final wash, flow cytometry data were acquired on a four-laser (405, 488, 561, 638 nm) CytoFLEX S flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter) and analysis was performed using FlowJo (version 10.7.1; BD Biosciences).

0.5 × 106 CLBL-1 cells were harvested after 72-hour of DMSO or pevonedistat treatment. Cells first were stained with the fixable viability dye, Ghost Dye Red 780 (1:1000; Tonbo Biosciences, San Diego, CA). For intracellular Ki67 staining, cells were fixed and permeabilized using the BD Cytofix/Cytoperm kit (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and further labelled with FITC anti-Ki67 (1:20; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). DAPI solution (1:250; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Madison, WI) was then added and incubated overnight at 4°C. Samples were analysed on a BD LSRFortessa (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA), and results were analysed using FlowJo v10.0.7 software.

The protein levels were measured after different time points of incubation by flow cytometry in a BD FACS Canto II Flow Cytometer and analysed with FlowJo software (FlowJo, LLC). Cells were rinsed twice with PBS (1X) and resuspended with PBS and Ghost Dye Red 780 (1:1000 dilution, Tonbo Biosciences) for 30 min on ice. After that, cells were rinsed once with PBS-0.2% Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) (PanReac AppliChem) and resuspended in 50 μl of this buffer with the PE anti-human CD279 (PD-1) (EH12.2H7, 1:100 dilution, BioLegend) antibody for 30 min on ice. The analysis strategy was to compare the mean fluorescence intensity between treated and untreated live cells for oxLDL experiments. For anti-CD69 monoclonal antibody engagement experiments, samples were incubated with mouse serum (1:100 dilution, Sigma-Aldrich) for 15 min before adding the same volume with flow cytometry antibodies. Percentage of positive cells for PD-1 were represented at different times.

After 72‐hour JAK inhibitor treatment, 0.5 × 106 CLBL‐1 cells were harvested. Cells first were stained with the fixable viability dye, Ghost Dye Red 780 (Tonbo Biosciences20; 1 : 1000). For intracellular Ki67 staining, cells were fixed and permeabilized with the BD Cytofix/Cytoperm kit (BD Biosciences17) and further labeled with FITC anti‐Ki67 (BD Biosciences17; 1 : 20). DAPI solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific10; 1 : 250) then was added and incubated overnight at 4°C.

MSCV-based Retroviral Vector Targeting CD4

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two MSCV-based γ retroviral vectors were used to target the Cd4 gene as described by Kotov et al. 29 . One vector encoded Cas9 and the fluorescent protein mNeongreen and the other either Cd4 or control LacZ guide RNAs (gRNAs) and the fluorescent protein mAmetrine 30 . Both vectors were produced by modifying the LMP-Amt vector from S. Crotty (La Jolla Institute) as described by Kotov et al. 29 . Platinum-E cells (Cell Biolabs) were grown in complete DMEM (Life Technologies) and transfected with the aforementioned plasmids. Virus-containing supernatants were harvested several days later. B3K508 T cells were cultured with complete IMDM (MilliporeSigma) containing IL-7 (Tonbo Biosciences) and then activated in plates coated with CD3 (2C11; Bio X Cell) and CD28 (37.51; Bio X Cell) antibodies. The cells were transduced with retroviral supernatant and polybrene (MilliporeSigma) 24 and 40 hours after activation and transferred to uncoated plates without CD3 or CD28 Abs for five days, the last three in complete IMDM-containing IL-7 (Tonbo Biosciences). The cells were then stained with P5R:I-Ab or P5R:I-Ab-4E tetramers and then BV786-labeled CD4 (RM4–5; BD Biosciences) antibody and a fixable viability dye (Ghost Dye Red 780; Tonbo Biosciences). The stained cells were analyzed by flow cytometry as described below.

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.
