Cultured cells were seeded at a density of 1 × 105 cells/well using a 6-well plate, and then vMyx-mLIGHT-FLuc/tdTr (MOI = 5) was added to the cells. After 24 h and 48 h, the cells were collected and washed twice with PBS¯ and staining buffer. Then, the cells were stained with anti-Annexin V antibody and 7-aminoactinomycin D (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA; kit # 640922) and analyzed for apoptosis/necrosis using flow cytometry (BD FACS Canto II). Annexin V was detected using an FITC channel and 7-AAD using a PerCP-Cy5.5 channel, and a region for live cells was defined. Non-infected cells were used as a control.

Cells in the SVFs were suspended in the staining buffer (PBS containing 0.5% BSA and 2 Mm ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and then incubated with CD11b (BioLegend, clone: M1/70) and CD11c (BioLegend, clone: N418) antibodies or the control isotypes at 4 °C. Thirty minutes later, cells were then washed twice and resuspended in the staining buffer. After incubation with 7-amino-actinomycin D (BioLegend), the cells were analyzed by Attune NxT Flow Cytometer (ThermoFisher). The data analysis was performed by using FlowJo (Tree Star, Ashland, OR). Cells with double positive expression of CD11b and CD11c were identified as M1 macrophages. For intracellular FoxP3 staining, PE/Cyanine7 anti-mouse CD4 (BioLegend, # 100,528)-stained cells were resuspended in 1 ml of the True-Nuclear™ 1X Fix Concentrate to each tube, vortex and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 60 min, followed by adding 2 mL of the True-Nuclear™ 1X Perm Buffer (BioLegend, # 424,401) to each tube and then centrifuge tubes at 2100 rpm at room temperature for 8 min, and discard the supernatant. Tubes were decanted, blotted, washed twice with True-Nuclear™ 1X Perm Buffer. Resuspend the cell pellet in 100 µl of the True-Nuclear™ 1X Perm Buffer. For detection of intracellular antigen, add 1 μl of PE–anti-mouse FoxP3 antibody (BioLegend, # 126,404) to each tube and incubate in the dark at room temperature for 60 min.

Human fetal thymi, obtained from terminations of pregnancy at 14 and 17 post-conception weeks, were enzymatically dissociated using Liberase (Roche) and DNaseI (Roche). The resultant cell suspension was stained with the following antibodies directed against cell surface antigens for 30 min at 4°C: CD45::BV421 (BioLegend, H130) and HLA-DR::PE-Cy7 (BioLegend, L243); 7-aminoactinomycin D (BioLegend) was used as a viability marker. Live CD45 MHCII (major histocompatibility complex class II) intermediate-high cells were sorted in 250,000 cell aliquots using FACSAria III (BD Biosciences). Samples were then processed using the 10x Genomics Multiomics ATAC (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing) + Gene Expression Kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol with some adaptations. Specifically, nuclei were isolated using a 0.1× diluted nuclei extraction buffer for 6 min before being captured into droplets on the 10x Genomics Chromium platform and sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq machine. This study of human thymic tissue has been granted ethical approval and is publicly listed (IRAS ID 156910, CPMS ID 19587).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C57BL/6J mice were treated with OVA (80 µg/mouse) without or with K-type CpG ODNs (8 or 40 µg CpG ODNs/mouse) or CA-CpG (8 µg CpG ODNs/mouse) into the ear pinna. Draining lymph nodes were collected at day 7, and lymph node cells were prepared for determination of OVA257–264-specific CD8+ CTL responses. Lymph node cells (1 × 106 cells) were added to the wells of a 96 half-well plate and then stimulated with OVA257–264 peptide (SIINFEKL, final concentration 5 µg/mL) for 24 h at 37°C. After the incubation, the concentration of IFN-γ in the supernatants was analyzed by means of ELISA. For the tetramer assay, lymph node cells (1 × 106 cells) were stained with purified anti-mouse CD16/CD32 antibody and then with the phycoerythrin-labeled H-2Kb/OVA257–264 tetramer (MBL, Aichi, Japan). Fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated CD8α (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), allophycocyanin-conjugated CD44 (BioLegend), and 7-amino-actinomycin D (BioLegend) were then added. The number of CD8α+ CD44+ tetramer+ cells was determined by flow cytometry.

Evaluating MM Cell Viability with sEVs

In the absence or presence of bortezomib (7.5 nM for MM1S, RPMI8226, and U266 cells, 30 nM for H929 cells), MM cells (3×105 cells/mL) were treated with or without BMSC-derived sEVs for 48 h and the viability was measured with the Cell Titer glo Luminescent Viability assay (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). MM cells were treated with or without endocytosis inhibitors for 4.5 h and the cell viability was determined using the Cell Titer glo Luminescent Viability assay. All viability assays were performed in triplicate and repeated in three independent experiments. For apoptosis analysis, the treated cells were stained with Annexin V-FITC (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA) and 7-Aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD, Biolegend) and apoptotic cells were determined using a CytoFLEX S flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CD38+ NK cells and autologous Treg cells were isolated from the peripheral blood of RA patients using flow cytometry-based methods, as described above. CD38+ NK cells were incubated in 50 μM C3G or an equal volume of PBS at 37 °C for 24 h. Isolated Treg cells were labeled with 5 μM carboxy fluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE; BioLegend) for 10 min at 37 °C. The pretreated CD38+ NK cells and Treg cells were washed and seeded at an effector-to-target cell (E:T) ratio of 20:1 in a 96-well U-bottom plate for 4 h at 37 °C. 7-Aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD; 5 μg/ml; BioLegend) was added to the culture, and the mixture was incubated for 20 min at 4 °C. Cell death was measured using flow cytometry. The percentage of specific lysis was calculated based on the following formula: 100 × (CFSE+ 7-AAD+ Treg cells/total number of CFSE+ Treg cells). The flow cytometry-based cytotoxicity assay for CD38+ NK cells against Treg cells was designed following a previously reported method [37 (link), 38 (link)].

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.
