Spleens were harvested from age- and strain-matched donor mice, minced, and dispersed into single cells in RPMI-10 (RPMI-1640 with 10% fetal bovine serum) by pressing between sterile frosted glass slides. Cells were filtered through a 40-μm pore-size cell strainer and washed in RPMI-10, and red blood cells (RBCs) were lysed using the mouse erythrocyte lysis kit (catalog no. WL2000, R&D Systems). CD8+ T cells were enriched by negative selection on a MagCellect mouse CD8+ T cell isolation kit (catalog no. MAGM203, R&D Systems) as instructed by the manufacturer. The yield of CD8+ T cells was about 107 per spleen, and 95% of the isolated cells expressed CD8a. The cells were cultured at 1 million/ml of RPMI-10 medium with recombinant mouse interleukin-2 (IL-2) (no. 402-ML, R&D Systems) at 30 IU/ml and CD28/CD3 beads (Mouse T-activator anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabeads, Gibco) that were added at a 1:1 ratio with the CD8+ T cells.

Naive CD45.2+CD8+ T responder cells (Tresp) were negatively sorted using the EasySep Mouse CD8+ T Cell Isolation kit (STEMCELL Technologies Inc.) and stained with CellTrace Violet (CTV; Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). CD45.1+CD4+FoxP3-EGFP T cells that had experienced HD Lm ΔactA-Ova infection for 24 h in C57BL/6 mice were re-isolated using the EasySep Mouse CD4+ T Cell Isolation kit (STEMCELL Technologies Inc.) followed by fluorescent cell sorting CD45.1+CD45.2FoxP3-EGFP+ and CD45.1+CD45.2FoxP3-EGFP cells. 2.5 × 104 CD45.2+CD8+ Tresp were placed in co-culture with graded numbers of sex-matched, magnetic/fluorescent cell sorted CD45.1+FoxP3-EGFP+ (Treg) or EGFP (conventional) CD4+ T cells and 1.25 mL washed Mouse T-Activator anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabeads (GIBCO) in a 96-well round-bottom plate for 72 h. Cell proliferation of CD45.2+CD8+ Tresp was determined by flow cytometry based on dilution of CTV. Percent suppression was calculated as the percent difference in absolute number of dividing Tresp in wells containing EGFP+ or EGFP CD4+ T cells to the average absolute number of dividing Tresp in wells without addition of EGFP+ or EGFP CD4+ T cells. Replication index, representative of only Tresp that had responded to anti-CD3/CD28 stimulation, was also determined for the cultures.

Fli-1 Deletion in T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice with a Fli-1 conditional deletion (Fli-1flox/flox) were described previously (22 (link), 40 (link)). A T-cell conditional deletion of Fli-1 exons 3 and 4 was mediated by a Cre/Lox system utilizing the CD4 promoter (41 (link)). Homozygous Fli-1 deletion in T cells was mediated via Fli-1flox/floxCD4Cre. Wild-type Fli-1 with CD4cre+ were used as controls (referred to as Fli-1+/+CD4cre). Spleens were harvested from Fli-1flox/floxCD4Cre and Fli-1+/+CD4Cre mice at the age of 8-10 weeks, minced, and dispersed into single cells in RPMI 1640 medium with 10% fetal bovine serum. Cells were filtered through a 40-μm pore-size cell strainer and washed with RPMI 1640 medium, and red blood cells (RBCs) were lysed using the mouse erythrocyte lysis kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). CD4+ T cells were enriched by negative selection using a mouse CD4+ T cell isolation kit (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA) as instructed by the manufacturer. The cells were cultured at 1 million/mL of RPMI 1640 medium with recombinant mouse interleukin-2 (IL-2) (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) at 20 IU/mL and CD28/CD3 beads (Mouse T-activator anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabeads, Gibco) that were added in a 1:1 ratio with the CD4+ T cells. The supernatants of T cells were collected after three days of stimulation, and GM-CSF cytokine production was measured by ELISA.

Conventional CD4+ T cells were isolated from CD45.1+Foxp3EGFP or CD45.1+Il12rb2−/−Foxp3EGFP mice using the EasySep Mouse CD4+ T Cell Isolation kit (STEMCELL Technologies Inc.) followed by fluorescent cell sorting of EGFP T cells. 2 3 105 CD4+FoxP3-EGFP T cells were placed in culture with 5 μL washed Mouse T-Activator anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabeads (GIBCO, Carlsbad, CA) and 1 μg/mL anti-IL-4 (11B11) (BioLegend, San Diego, CA) in a 96-well round-bottom plate for 24 h. Select wells contained 5 ng/mL rmTGF-β1 and 10 ng/mL rmIL-12 (p70) (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). Nuclear FACS staining of EGFP, FoxP3, and T-bet were used to measure conventional CD4+ T cell conversion to phenotypic Treg.

CD4+ T Cell Isolation and Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
About 6 to 8-week-old MCUfl/fl CD4Cre+ or MCUfl/fl MB1Cre+ mice and control counterparts were humanely sacrificed immediately prior to immune cell isolation. Superficial cervical and inguinal lymph nodes were first collected followed by the spleen. All lymphoid tissues were then disrupted by passing the tissue through a 70-μm mesh screen. The resulting single-cell suspension was than washed with 10 ml of cold RPMI and resuspended in 1 ml of Robosep buffer (STEMCELL technologies) prior to the negative selection of B or T cells. Using the corresponding negative selection kit primary mouse CD4+ T cells and B cells were isolated using the magnetic beads and antibody cocktail as recommended by the manufacturer.
Isolated CD4+ T cells were then cultured ex vivo to increase the efficiency of CREERT2 activity. Naïve primary CD4+ T cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 1× Antibiotic-Antimycotic, 1× Glutamax, mIL2 (30 U/ml), and Mouse T-Activator anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabeads (Thermo Fisher) at a concentration of one bead per cell. Experimental mice (MCUfl/fl CD4Cre+) and control (MCUfl/fl CD4Cre-) mice were both treated with 2 μM 4-OHT for 4 days. As a control, the second group of (MCUfl/fl CD4Cre-) mice was only administered vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide). Cells were subsequently washed and beads removed.

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.
