Cytokine Profiling of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Peptide-Stimulated Splenocytes

Frozen splenocytes were thawed and incubated with 50 μg/mL DNase1 (Cat# 10104159001, Roche) for 5 min at 37°C. The cells were then washed twice and resuspended in RPMI-1640 medium with 10% (vol./vol.) heat-inactivated FBS. Splenocytes (1×106/well in 96-well plates) were stimulated for 24 h with 15-mer overlapping peptides from SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein (Cat no# PM-WCPV-S-1, JPT Peptide Technologies GmbH) or VSV-N (Genscript) at a concentration of 2.5 μg/mL. Supernatants were collected, centrifuged at 1,800 RPM for 5 min and stored at −80 °C until analysis. Supernatants were then analyzed for the expression of IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-18, GM-CSF, IL-1β, IL12p70, IL-13, IL-2, IL-4, TNF-α and IL-5 cytokines using a mouse cytokine 11-plex antibody bead kit (Th1/Th2 Cytokine 11-Plex Mouse ProcartaPlex Panel, Cat No# EPX110-20820-901, Thermo Fisher). Preparation of samples, along with kit standards, detection antibody and streptavidin-phycoerythrin (PE), was carried out per the manufacturer’s instructions. Cytokine bead fluorescence intensity was measured using the Luminex 200 system (Luminex Corp., Austin, TX, USA), and data were quantitated with xPONENT® software.

SARS-CoV-2 Antigen-Specific T Cell Assay

Virus-specific CD8+ T-cell frequencies were measured by flow cytometric analysis of gamma interferon (IFN-γ) induction after specific stimulation as described previously [42 (link)]. PBMCs were prepared from whole blood by density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll-Paque PLUS (Cytiva). Lymph node-derived lymphocytes were prepared from minced lymph nodes by density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll-Paque PLUS. Cells were pulsed and cocultured with peptide pools (at a final concentration of more than 0.1 μM for each peptide) using panels of overlapping peptides spanning the SARS-CoV-2 S, N, M, and E amino acid sequences (PM-WCPV-S-1, PM-WCPV-NCAP-1, PM-WCPV-VME-1, and PM-WCPV-VEMP-1; JPT Peptide Technologies) in the presence of GolgiStop (monensin, BD), 1 μg/ml of anti-CD28 (CD28.2, BD) and 1 μg/ml anti-CD49d (9F10, BD) for 6 hours. Intracellular IFN-γ staining was performed with a CytofixCytoperm kit (BD) and anti-CD3 APC-Cy7, anti-CD4 FITC, anti-CD8 PerCP, and anti-IFN-γ PE (4S.B3; BioLegend). Stained cells were analyzed by BD FACS Lyric. A representative gating schema for flow cytometric analysis is shown in Fig 5A. Specific T-cell frequencies were calculated by subtracting nonspecific IFN-γ+ T-cell frequencies from those after peptide-specific stimulation. Specific T-cell frequencies less than 0.03% of CD8+ T cells were considered negative.

Enrichment of Antigen-Specific T Cells

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from leukaphereses and buffy coats were isolated as previously described (20 (link)). The isolated PBMCs were then cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen. The cryopreserved cells were reconstituted, and a 14-day enrichment with antigen-specific T cells was performed as previously described (21 (link)). For the enrichment of the reconstituted cells with antigen-specific T cells, a 1 μg/ml concentration of the following pooled overlapping peptide mixes spanning the indicated antigen was used: SARS-CoV-2 (17 (link)) [PepMix™ SARS-CoV-2 (Spike Glycoprotein), cat.# PM-WCPV-S-1, JPT Peptide Technologies, Berlin, Germany], and human coronavirus 229E (18 (link)) [PepMix™ HCoV-229E (Spike Glycoprotein), cat.# PM-229E-S-1, JPT]. As a positive control, pooled peptide mixes from Epstein-Barr virus (HHV-4), human cytomegalovirus (HHV-5), and influenza A (22 (link)) were used [1 μg/ml, PepMix CEF Pool (extended), cat.# PM-CEF-E, JPT].

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.
