PBMCs were isolated from buffy coats from healthy donors (blood transfusion center at University Medical Center (UMC) Mainz, Germany) by Ficoll®-Hypaque (GE Healthcare) density gradient centrifugation. Monocytes were isolated using anti-CD14 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) and CD8 and CD4 cells were isolated using anti-CD8 and anti-CD4 microbeads, respectively (Miltenyi Biotec) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Immature DCs (iDCs) were differentiated from CD14+ cells in RPMI 1640 GlutaMAX™, 50 IU/mL penicillin, 50 μg/mL streptomycin, and 10% (v/v) human AB serum (one lambda) (denoted huRPMI), supplemented with 1000 IU/mL recombinant human (rh) GM-CSF and 1000 IU/mL rh IL-4 (Miltenyi Biotec) twice in 5 days. For T-cell activation, 2 × 106 / ml of isolated T-cells were cultivated in 24 well tissue culture plates precoated with 2 μg/ml anti-CD3 antibody (clone OKT3; Bioxcell) in huRPMI supplemented with 100 IU/mL IL-2 for 2 to 3 days. Cells were then harvested, washed and resuspended in huRPMI with 50 IU/mL IL-2 and either rested or immediately submitted to further processing steps.

Isolating Tumor-Infiltrating T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To isolate T cells from tumors for cytospin preparation or western blot, WT mice bearing B16F10 tumors were infected with LCMVa or RPMI control. 8 days post-infection, tumors were harvested and homogenized by mechanical mincing and incubation in Type II collagenase (Worthington) in HBSS for one hour at 37 degrees C with shaking. Tumor homogenates were then passed through a 100 μm strainer to obtain a single cell suspension, and CD8 or CD45 cells were isolated using anti-CD8 or anti-CD45 beads for positive selection in magnetic columns per manufacturer’s protocol (Miltenyi). For western blots, CD8+ cells were then incubated for 4 hours with Brefeldin-A in splenocyte medium before cells were lysed using RIPA. For cytospins, 150,000 CD45+ cells per slide were immediately added to slides. Slides were then fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and immunofluorescent staining was performed with TSP-1 and CD3 antibodies as described above.

Monoclonal antibodies were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific eBioscience or BD Bioscience. Clones used were: anti-CD4 (RM4-5, dilution 1:500), anti-CD8α (53–6.7 dilution 1:500), anti-TCRβ (H57-597, dilution 1:250), anti-HSA (M1/69, dilution 1:500), anti-CD69 (H1.2F3, dilution 1:250), anti-CD44 (IM7, dilution 1:500), anti-CD62L (MEL-14, dilution 1:500), anti-CD19 (ID3, dilution 1:300), anti-CD127 (SB/199, dilution 1:250), anti-Caspase-3 (C92-605, 10 μl of Ab per test). Cell proliferation dye E450 was obtained from Thermo Fisher Scientific eBioscience. After staining with antibodies and DAPI (Thermo Fisher Scientific), cells were analyzed with an LSRII flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) or sorted with an Aria II (BD Biosciences). Post sort sample purity was >98%. In most cases, anti-CD4, anti-CD8, anti-PE, and anti-B220 magnetic beads (Miltenyi) were used for enrichment and depletion on MACS columns (Miltenyi) before sorting. Flow cytometry data were analyzed using Flowjo software (Tree Star).

Comprehensive T-cell Phenotyping by Flow Cytometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cellular composition, CD4/CD8 ratio and CAR-expression was determined by flow cytometric analysis after staining with one or several of the following antibodies and reagents: anti-CD45, anti-CD4, anti-CD3, anti-CD16, anti-CD56, anti-CD19, anti-CD14, anti-CD8, anti-CD45RO, anti-CD95, anti-CD62L and 7-AAD (all Miltenyi Biotec). CAR-modified T cells were identified using the EGFRt marker and staining with an anti-EGFRt antibody (clone: C225, ImClone Systems) conjugated in-house to AlexaFluor 647. Data were acquired on a MACSQuant Analyzer 10 and analyzed using MACSQuantify software (both Miltenyi Biotec).

Single-cell suspensions from spleens were prepared by mechanical disruption of the organ and subjected to hypotonic red blood cell lysis. For in vivo proliferation, splenocytes were labeled using CFSE (Molecular Probes) according to the manufacturer’s protocol, and 107 cells (corresponding to 1 × 106 CD8+ TCR transgenic T cells) were transferred intravenously (i.v.) into recipient mice. For in vivo protection and co-transfer study, CD8+ T cells or CD3+ cells from spleens were obtained using anti-CD8 or anti-CD3 MACS beads (Miltenyi Biotec). For assessment of in vivo protection, recipients received 106 cells, while 105 and 104 cells were transferred to plt/plt mice in separate or competitive transfer assays (respectively). At twelve hours post adoptive transfer, recipient mice were infected with MHV A59.

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.
