Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human PBMC were isolated from the blood of 8 healthy donors using Hypaque-Ficoll (GE Healthcare, Amersham, UK) density centrifugation, with informed consent and full ethical approval (NRES reference: 06/Q1701/120). 3 × 105 PBMCs were stimulated overnight with 1 ng/mL recombinant human IL-15 (R&D Systems). Peptide pulsed 721.221C*0304-ICP47 targets were prepared as for the stabilization assays. Target cells were resuspended with PBMCs at an effector-to-target (E:T) ratio of 5:1 in fresh R10 medium containing peptide and anti-CD107a-efluor-660 antibody (eBioscience, Hatfield, UK). Cells were incubated for 1 h at 26°C, then 6 μg/mL Golgi- Stop™ (BD Biosciences) was added, and incubated for a further 4 h at 26°C. Cells were washed, blocked with blocking buffer for 30 min and then stained with the following antibodies: anti-CD3-PerCP (Biolegend, San Diego, USA), anti-human CD56-PE, and anti-human KIR2DL2/L3/S2, CD158b-FITC (both BD Biosciences). Cells were fixed in 1% PFA and analyzed by flow cytometry. Individual assays for each donor were performed once in duplicate and the mean value used for subsequent analysis.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mature WT1 mRNA-electroporated autologous moDCs were added in serial doses to triplicate wells containing 1 × 105 T cells in a 96 round-bottomed well plate (Corning Life Sciences). Final volume was 100 μL/well of RPMI-10% heat-inactivated, autologous serum, supplemented with recombinant human IL15 (10 ng/mL; R&D Systems). After 7 days of moDC-T cell culture, 5×103 target cells were added directly to each well, and cytolytic activity exerted by responder T lymphocytes was assessed after 4 to 6 hours with a colorimetric CTL assay (27 (link)). These data represented the total cytolytic activity generated in each culture according to the primary stimulation conditions, rather than per number of effector T cells irrespective of their frequency in the primary cultures. Target cells were 697 cells (HLA-A*0201+, WT1+ cell line). SKLY-16 cells (HLA-A*0201+, WT1neg cell line) served as a negative control.

CFSE-labeled B-CLL Cell Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CFSE-labeled B-CLL cells were cultured in an enriched medium used for normal B cell replication in long-term cultures (55 (link)) with added insulin/transferrin/selenium supplement (BioWhittaker cat# 17-8387). It should be noted that this medium contains the reducing agent, 2-ME (5×10−5 M). The latter replaces an important function of bone marrow stromal cells in converting cystine to cysteine which is needed for B-CLL uptake and use in the glutathione synthesis needed for retained viability (59 (link)). To minimize inter-experimental differences, medium was freshly prepared for each experiment, using stock additives whose expiration date was carefully monitored and, in the case of FCS and the insulin/transferrin/selenium supplement, kept frozen in aliquots until use. Cultures were routinely established in 96-well plates (Falcon, Costar) at 105 cells per 200 μl volume with triplicates for each culture condition. Recombinant human IL-15 (R&D Systems, Inc) and CpG DNA TLR-9 ligand (ODN-2006; InvivoGen, Inc) (frozen in aliquots until use) were added at final culture concentrations of 15 ng/ml and 0.2 μM (1.5 μg/ml), respectively. In designated cultures, the pan-caspase inhibitor, Z-VAD-FMK (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO; 40 μM final) or DMSO vehicle were added

CD8+ T cells were purified from PBMC by negative selection using a human CD8 T cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotech, Bergish Gladbach, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. T cell cultures were performed in X-VIVO 15 (Lonza, Verviers, Belgium) supplemented with 5% human serum (Sigma Aldrich, Burlington, Massachusetts, USA) and 100 U/mL penicillin/streptomycin (Lonza, Verviers, Belgium). T cells were cultured with 104 allogeneic DCIL-10, mDCIL-10, or mDCGFP at a 10:1 ratio. After 5 days of stimulation (short-term culture), T cells were collected, washed, and phenotypically and functionally analyzed. For long-term culture experiments, T cells were cultured with allogeneic mDCIL-10 (T(mDCIL-10)) or mDCGFP (T(mDCGFP)) at a 10:1 ratio. At day 3, 1 ng/mL of recombinant human IL-15 (R&D System, Minneapolis, MN, USA) was added. At day 14, cells were collected, washed, and analyzed. In some experiments, CD8+ T cells were labelled with Cell Proliferation Dye eFluor® 670 (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and analyzed by flow cytometry for their proliferation at the end of the T:DC co-culture.
