Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For in-vitro studies, the following flow cytometry panel was used in conjunction with CTV and viability dye: anti-CD3 Alexa700, anti-CD4 PE-Cy7, anti-CD8 APC, and anti-CD44 PE, all at a 1:200 dilution (Biolegend). For in-vivo and ex-vivo studies, the following flow cytometry panel was used: anti-CD3 PE-Cy7, anti-CD4 Pacific Blue, anti-CD8 APC, anti-CD44 PE, anti-CD62L APC-Cy7, and anti-CD25 Alexa 700, all at a 1:200 dilution, except anti-CD25 at a 1:50 dilution (Biolegend). Endogenous Foxp3 expression was detected either via eGFP of eYFP fluorescence, which is compatible with all panels but not when used with BODIPY-FL dye (493/503) or 2-NBDG (465/540). In those assays, Foxp3-based uptake of FA or Glucose was not performed, but all other cellular subsets described were tested. All acquisition was performed using a BD Fortessa flow cytometer (BD, MD, USA) at the Northwestern University Comprehensive Flow Cytometry core.

Mice (n = 9) were sacrificed on Day 3 and had their skin harvested for histological and flow cytometry analysis. Murine back skin sections were digested to assess immune cell populations as previously described34 (link). Briefly, precut skin sections were digested with  Collagenase P (11213857001; Sigma-Aldrich), DNAse I (9003-98-9; Worthington) and Dispase II (D4693-1G; Sigma-Aldrich) in DMEM (Wisent Bio Products) for 1 h in 37°C. Cells were then filtered through 40 μm cell strainers before being stained for flow cytometry. Next, Fc receptors on cells were blocked with Mouse TruStain FcX (101319; BioLegend) and stained with cocktail combinations of: APC/Cy7 anti-CD45 (103116; Biolegend), PE/Cy5 anti-CD3 (100310; BioLegend), APC anti-CD8, PE/Cy7 anti-CD4, Alexa Fluora 700 anti-CD11b (101222; Biolegend), FITC anti-NKp46 (137605; Biolegend), PE anti-TIGIT, PerCP Cy5.5 anti-CD226, FITC anti-F4/80 (123108; Biolegend), APC anti-Ly6C (128015; Biolegend), and PE/Cy5 anti-CD11c (117316; Biolegend).
Additionally, skin samples were sectioned and stained with H&E for measuring epidermal thickness. Histology section images were captured, and epidermal thickness was measured using S-EYE 1.4 software. The epidermal thickness was quantified by measuring thickness in at least three distinct locations on each tissue section.

Mice were sacrificed 35 days postimmunization. Mononuclear cells (MNC) from lymph nodes and spleen were passed through a 40-mm nylon mesh, enriched with a Ficoll gradient centrifugation and adjusted to a concentration of 2 × 106 cells/ml. Antigen-induced T-cell proliferation was measured per the following procedures. MNC were stained with CFDA-SE [5 µM, 8 min, room temperature (RT)] and cultured in 96-well plates (2 × 105 cells/well). Antigens (MBP, LMP1, OVA) were added to the culture at 1:1 ratio to the final concentration of 15 µM. Three days later cells were harvested and stained with APC-anti-CD8 and PerCP-Cy5.5-anti-CD4 mAbs (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA). Proliferation of CD4+ and CD8+ cells were assessed by flow cytometry based on CFSE dilution. All experiments were performed on BD FACS Canto II (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Unstimulated cells and cells stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 mAb were used as negative and positive controls, respectively.

HEK293 (1 × 106) cells were resuspended in 10 μL of T buffer and transfected with 2 μg each of eGFP and luciferase plasmids in 10 μL tips using a Neon transfection system (Life Technologies, Foster City, CA). Fluorescence or luminescence was monitored over a 24 h period. eGFP-positive cells were detected using an Olympus IX71 inverted fluorescence microscope and counted in 10 random fields at 100× magnification. Bioluminescent signals from luciferase transfected cells were monitored using the IVIS Lumina (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA). To assess localization of luciferase transfected cells in vivo, after i.p. injections of 0.1 mL of 15 mg/mL D-luciferin, bioluminescence signals of vaccinated mice were evaluated using the IVIS Lumina. Regions of interest were identified around the injection sites and quantified as total photon counts using Living Image software. The values were expressed as average of all vaccinated mice for every treatment group. Flow cytometric detection of CD8+ T cells expressing intracellular perforin were performed as previously described [18 (link)]. APC-anti-CD8 and PE-anti-perforin (BioLegend) were used at a final dilution of 1:500 and 1:200, respectively.

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.
