A20 cell line, derived from mouse B cell lymphoma on BALB/c background [13 (link)], was obtained from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA). Primary cells were isolated from bone marrow (BM), spleen (SPL) or peripheral blood (PB) of B6 by standard methods. The A20 transfectants or primary cells were stained with the following antibodies (Abs): anti-mouse CEACAM1 mAb, CC1 (kindly provided by Dr. Kathlyn Holmes, University of Colorado, CO), anti-IgG1, FITC-anti-B220, PE-anti-IgM, FITC-anti-CD4, PE-anti-CD3ε, PerCP-anti-B220, PE-anti-CD43, PE-anti-CD25, PE-anti-Igκ, PE-anti-CD138, PE-anti-CD5, PE-anti-H-2Kd, PE-anti-I-Ad, PE-anti-CD69, PE-anti-CD80 and PE-anti-CD86 Abs (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). Data acquisition was performed using FACS Calibur and analysis software Cell Quest (BD Biosciences).
In some experiments, the A20 transfectants were treated with Fluo-4® (Dojindo, Kumamoto, Japan), and applied for FACS to analyze intracellular Ca2+ influx. During the acquisition, cells were treated with anti-Igκ (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL) to stimulate BCR signaling, and kinetics for Ca2+ influx were measured at FL2.

Bone marrow was first depleted of red blood cells and B cells were
then purified with anti-B220 magnetic beads using the IMag system (BD
Pharmingen). B cells were subsequently stained with anti-IgM-PE,
anti-B220-PerCP or anti-B220-FITC, and anti-CD93/AA4.1-biotin or
anti-CD93/AA4.1-APC (BD Biosciences or Tonbo Biosciences). The biotinylated
antibody was detected with streptavidin-APC (Caltag or BD Biosciences).
Immature (B220+, IgM+, AA4.1+) and pre (B220+, IgM-, AA4.1+) B cells were
sorted on a FACS Aria (Becton Dickinson) or a MoFlo (Cytomation) cell
sorter. Samples were kept at 4° at all times prior to and during the
sort and until stimulation to avoid activating the BCR with the sorting
antibodies (11 (link)). Purified cells were
either harvested immediately or stimulated with 10 μg/ml goat
anti-mouse IgM F(ab’)2 (Jackson ImmunoResearch
Laboratories) for the indicated times at 106 cells/ml in RPMI +
10% FBS. Alternatively, bone marrow B lineage cells were expanded by
culturing for 4–6 days in 10 ng/ml IL-7 (R & D Systems) at 2
× 106 cells/ml and pre and immature B cells sorted as
above.

After the cells had been prepared, between 500,000 and 1.25 million cells from these single-cell suspensions were incubated with 1 μg of the appropriate primary antibodies (listed below) for 45 minutes on ice, with vortexing at every 7–10 minute intervals. These cells were washed twice with phosphate buffer followed by incubation for 15 minutes with an appropriate second step reagent-conjugated to a fluorochrome. After 15 minutes the cells were washed twice with PBS, and re-suspended in 1XPBS and fixed with paraformaldehyde at 1% final concentration. 10,000 and 25,000 cells were analyzed with a Becton Dickinson FACS Calibur (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Primary antibodies used in this investigation were: Anti-CD3-FITC, anti-CD3-PE anti-CD4-FITC, anti-CD4-PE, anti-CD44 Biotin, anti-B220-FITC and anti-IgM-PE (BioLegend Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). Also anti-CD25-PE, anti-CD5-PE, anti-IgM-PE, anti-IgA-FITC, and anti-B220-PerCP (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Secondary antibodies used were: Streptavidin-PErCP (BioLegend Inc, San Diego, CA, USA) and Streptavidin-PE (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA).

After 18 hours, cells were surface stained with anti-CD4 and anti-CD8 and processed with an intracellular staining kit (BD Biosciences) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Intracellular antibodies included anti-interferon (IFN)-γ (eBioscience, San Diego, CA), anti-TNF, and anti-IL-2 (both BD Biosciences).

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.
