Human PBMCs (ALLCELLS) were stained with anti-CD3 and Glycophorin A to enumerate T cells. Cells were cultured with rhIL-2 (100 IU ml−1) and anti-CD3/anti-CD28-coated Dynabeads (Life Technologies) at a ratio of 1 : 3 (cell : bead) in the presence or absence of 2.5 ng ml−1 rhTGF-β1 with or without either a-CTLA4-TGFβRII or a-CTLA-4 antibody (5 μg ml−1). Following culture for 24–48 h, cells were lysed and subjected to immunoblot analyses with the following primary antibodies: FOXP3, SMAD-2/3 (D7G7), or phospho-SMAD-2/3, and β-actin (Cell Signaling Technologies). On day 5, anti-CD3/anti-CD28 beads were magnetically removed and the number of Tregs (CD4+/CD25high/CD127low/FOXP3+) were enumerated by flow cytometry. Cells were stained extracellularly with anti-human CD4-PE, anti-human CD25-PE-CYTM5, and anti-human CD127-FITC antibodies (BD Biosciences). The cells were then permeabilized (BD Cytofix/Cytoperm Kit) and stained intracellularly with anti-human FOXP3-APC or the corresponding isotype control mouse IgG1-APC (eBioscience). The stained cells were washed twice with FACS buffer, run on the Gallios Flow Cytometer, and analyzed utilizing Kaluza Software (Beckman Coulter).

Antigen-Specific T Cell Proliferation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Antigen-specific T cell proliferation was determined in all patients by carboxy-fluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) dilution assay as previously published [28 (link)]. After 5 days at 37°C, cells were washed and stained with anti-human CD4-PE (BD Biosciences Cat# 555347) and CD8-APC (BD Biosciences Cat# 555369) antibodies, and the viability dye 7-AAD. Flow cytometry analysis were performed on a FACSCalibur using CellQuest software (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). The number of viable cells that had proliferated was determined by gating on the CD4+CFSElow and CD8+CFSElow. Proliferation index was calculated as the ratio between CD4+ or CD8+ proliferative frequency (%) in the presence of specific antigen and that in the absence of antigen, as previously reported [28 (link)].

Peptide-pulsed T2 cells were incubated with effector cells in a 1:5 ratio overnight in SF-IMDM at 37°C and 10% CO2. For cell-surface staining, cells were washed twice and incubated with anti-human CD4-PE (BD Pharmingen, 1:100 dilution) for 30 min at RT, washed twice and fixed for intracellular staining using the Fixation/Permeabilization Solution Kit (BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cells were washed twice with 1x BD Perm/Wash™ Buffer and intracellular staining was performed by incubating the cells with anti-active caspase-3 clone C92-605-Alexa Fluor 647 (BD Pharmingen, 1:200) for 40 min at 4°C. Finally, cells were washed twice with 1x BD Perm/Wash™ Buffer before resuspending in washing buffer for FACS-analysis (BD FACS Canto II). Data analysis was performed using FlowJo V10 software.

To assess whether macrophages in the presence of BM-MSCs generated Tregs, macrophages were first treated with BM-MSCs without cellular contact in a 0.4 µm Transwell system (Corning) for 6 days in the presence of M0, M1 or M2 inducer medium, after which they were cocultured with CD4 + T cells selected using CD4 MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec) in a 1:1 ratio (macrophages:T cells) in RPMI medium (HyClone) containing 10% FBS (Corning) in the presence of anti-CD2/CD3/CD28 beads (1:1 T cell ratio) (Miltenyi Biotec). After 5 days of coculture, T lymphocytes were harvested and blocked with FBS (Biowest) at 4 • C for 15 min. After blocking, anti-human CD4-PE (BD Biosciences) and anti-human CD25-FITC (BD Biosciences) antibodies were added. The cells were then permeabilized following the manufacturer's instructions with the FoxP3 staining buffer set kit (Invitrogen). After permeabilization, anti-human FoxP3-APC (Biolegend) was added. Acquisitions were made on a spectral flow cytometer Aurora (Cytek Biosciences) and analyzed with FlowJo V10 software (Supplementary Figure S1). CD4+ T lymphocytes cultured in the absence of macrophages were used as a control.

The primary human T cells were enriched with the RosetteSep kit (Stem Cells Technology, Canada) by negative selection of unwanted cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of healthy donors who provided signed consent. Subsequently, the cells were cultured and anti-CD3/anti-CD28 antibodies (ImmunoCult™ Human CD3/CD28 T Cell Activator, Stem Cells Technology, Canada) were added into the T cell culture medium (RPMI 1640, 10 % FBS, 1 % MEM NAA, 50 μM 2-mercaptoethanol, 300 IU/mL rhIL2) to activate primary T cells at day 0 for 24 h. Then, the T cells were transduced with GPC3-CAR lentivirus at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10 with 4 μg/mL polybrene (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA). These genetically modified CAR-T cells were used for subsequent assays after proliferation. The expression of GPC3-CAR was analyzed by Fluorescein (FITC) AffiniPure Goat Anti-Mouse IgG, F(ab')2 fragment specific (Jackson ImmunoResearch, USA). The CD4+/ CD8+ T cell population of T cells and CAR-T cells were identified by flow cytometry using, APC anti-Human CD3, PE anti-Human CD4 and FITC anti-Human CD8 antibodies (BD, USA). The CellTrace™ CFSE Cell Proliferation Kit (Invitrogen, USA) was also used to test the cell proliferation disparity between CAR-T cells and T cells.

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.
