Anti mhc class 2

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States

Anti-MHC class II is a laboratory equipment product that is used to detect the presence of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules on the surface of cells. MHC class II molecules are involved in the presentation of extracellular antigens to T cells, which is a crucial process in the adaptive immune response. The product provides a tool for researchers to study the expression and function of MHC class II in various biological systems.

Myeloid and lymphoid subsets were isolated from the tumors and quantitatively analyzed as previously described (Chowdhury et al., 2019 (link)) with some modifications. Briefly, after mechanical homogenization, the tumors were digested with collagenase A (1 mg ml−1; Roche) and DNase I (0.5 μg ml−1; Roche) in isolation buffer (RPMI 1640 supplemented with 5% FBS, 1% L-glutamine, 1% penicillin–streptomycin and 10 mM HEPES) for 45 minutes shaking (150 rpm) at 37 °C. Cells were filtered through 100 μm cell strainers, washed in isolation buffer and stained. Myeloid cells were stained immediately, and lymphoid subset underwent a separation gradient using Percoll (67%, 40%), followed by staining. Dead cells were excluded by staining with Ghost Dye cell viability reagent. Extracellular antibodies included: anti-B220 (BD) (1:200), anti-CD19 (Tonbo) (1:200), anti-CD45 (BD and Biolegend) (1:400), anti-CD4 (BD) (1:400), anti-CD8 (Tonbo) (1:400), anti-NK1.1 (BD) (1:300), anti-CD11b (BD) (1:500), anti-CD11c (BD) (1:200), anti-F4/80 (Tonbo) (1:500), and anti-MHC class II (Tonbo) (1:400) antibodies. Intracellular antibodies included: anti-CD3e (BD) (1:400), anti-TCRβ (BD) (1:300) and anti-FOXP3 (Thermo) (1:300). Cells were fixed using the FOXP3/transcription factor staining buffer set (Tonbo) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Samples were analyzed using a BD LSRFortessa cell analyzer.

Antigen-Loaded Dendritic Cells Modulate T Cell Responses

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mature DCs (mDCs) loaded with antigen of Hep3B cells (Hep3B cell lysates) were cultured for 24 hrs in DMEM alone, with recombinant IL-37, with Hep3B/LV-NC cell culture supernatant, or with Hep3B/LV-IL37 cell culture supernatant, two duplicate wells. Half of the mDCs were used to detect the expression level of CD80, CD86, CD40, MHC Class I and MHC Class II. Half of the mDCs were incubated with purified CD3+T cells to detect interferon-γ (IFN-γ) expression of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and the proportion of IFN-γ+CD8+T cells. The antibodies applied in the assay are as follows: FITC-conjugated antibodies: anti-MHC Class I, anti-MHC Class II, anti-CD80, anti-CD86, anti-CD40 and anti-CD8; APC-conjugated anti-IFN-γ (all from BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). The data analysis of CD80, CD86, CD40, MHC Class I, MHC Class II and CD8 was performed using a Cytomics FC 500 Flow Cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA). The data analysis of IFN-γ was performed using the CXP Analysis software (Beckman Coulter).

Murine Dendritic Cell Maturation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bone marrow cells were collected from femurs of mice and cultured at 3 × 105 cells/mL in complete medium and 20 ng/mL of murine GM-CSF. After 4 days of incubation, half the volume was removed and replaced by an equal volume of complete medium containing GM-CSF. At 6 days of incubation, non-adherent cells were collected, suspended at 106 cells/mL, and distributed into 24-well plates in aliquots of 1 mL/well. These cells were pre-incubated overnight with syn-AeMOPE-1 (0.25 to 2 µM), followed by stimulation with 100 ng/mL ultrapure LPS from Escherichia coli 0111:B4 strain (InvivoGen, San Diego, CA, USA) – a highly specific TLR4 ligand – for 24 hours to promote their maturation. Cells were transferred into 12 × 75 mm polypropylene tubes and stained with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies anti-CD11c, anti-MHC class II, anti-CD80 and anti-CD86 (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Cells were acquired in a FACSCanto II (BD Biosciences) and analysis were performed using FlowJo software, version 10.0.5 (Tree Star, Ashland, OR, USA). The results were expressed as the percentage of positive cells for each marker.

Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks were cut into serial sections of 4 μm thickness and placed onto Superfrost Ultra Plus Adhesion slides (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Tissue slides were stained manually. All sections were deparaffinized, rehydrated, and subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval (Akoya Biosciences). Samples were evaluated using the following multiplex immunofluorescence staining panel: anti-FOXP3 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 236A/E7; no. 14-4777-82); anti-CD8 (Abcam, SP16; no. ab101500); anti-CD3 (Abcam, SP7; no. ab16669); anti-ICOS (Cell Signaling Technology, D1K2T, no. 89601S); anti–MHC class II (BD Pharmingen, Tu39; no. 555556); and anti-cytokeratin (BioLegend, C-11; no. 628602). Antigen-antibody binding was visualized with TSA-Opal reagents (Akoya Biosciences). Detailed information regarding antibody dilution, antibody/TSA-Opal reagents combination, and antigen retrieval buffers is provided in Supplemental Table 3. Tissue slides were incubated with DAPI as a counterstain and coverslipped with VectaShield mounting media (Vector Laboratories).

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.
