Splenic T cells were isolated from OT-II mice and purified by nylon wool. 0.2×106 CFSE labeled T cells (1.5 μM, Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) were cultured with WT DCs (1:10, DC/RA-DC:T) and OVA protein (100 μg/mL; Worthington Biochemical Corporation, Lakewood, NJ, USA). For antigen pulsed experiments, DCs and RA-DCs were incubated with OVA protein (400 μg/mL, 18 hrs; Worthington Biochemical Corporation, Lakewood, NJ, USA) or ovalbumin peptide OVA323–339 (0.6 μM, 3hrs). In most conditions, additional DCs or RA-DCs were added into co-cultures (1:10, DC/RA-DC:T). Cultures were maintained in 10% FBS complete RPMI-1640 medium for 3 days at 37°C, 5% CO2. T cell proliferative response was determined by CFSE dilution assay and analyzed by flow cytometry. For anti-CD3/CD28 studies, T cells were added to an anti-CD3 mAb coated plate (1 μg/mL, overnight; eBiosciences, San Diego, CA, USA) followed by addition of anti-CD28 mAb (1μg/mL; eBiosciences). To inhibit Arg-1 or iNOS activity, Nw-hydroxy nor-L-arginine (nor-NOHA) or NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, monoacetate salt (L-NMMA) (Caliobiochem, San Diego, CA, USA) were added at the beginning of co-culture to achieve a final concentration of 300 μM. L-arginine (Sigma Aldrich) was added in excess at the time of co-culture to achieve a final concentration of 3 mM.

Peripheral blood cells were collected and isolated with Ficoll-PaqueTM (GE healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden) as described previously.19 (link) Briefly, peripheral blood (3 mL) diluted with sterile PBS (3 mL) was added to equal volume Ficoll. The tubes were vortexed for 30 minutes under 2,000 rpm at 20°C. PBMCs were collected and incubated with CD4+ microbeads for 30 minutes at 4°C. CD4+ T-cell clones were expanded after being stimulated with plate-bound anti-CD3 mAb (5 mg/mL), and anti-CD28 mAb (2 mg/mL, eBioscience, San Diego, CA), followed by being stimulated with recombined human (rh) TGFβ (20 ng/mL), rh IL-6 (30 ng/mL), anti-IFNγ (20 µg/mL), and anti-IL-4 (20 µg/mL) with PBS or TWP (1.25 mg/mL) for 72 hours. Differentiated CD4+ T-cells were collected for qRT-PCR. CD4+ T-cells were stimulated with mentioned cocktails for 5 days followed by being stimulated with PMA (50 ng/mL, Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA), ionomycin (750 ng/mL, Sigma-Aldrich), and Brefeldin A (3  μg/mL, eBioscience) for 5 hours. Differentiated CD4+ T-cells were collected for cell membrane and intracellular staining, eg, CD25, IFNγ, IL-17A, and FOXP3 for flow cytometer analysis.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human PBMCs were isolated from blood samples of healthy donors using density gradient centrifugation with Ficoll-Hypaque (TAKARA). To generate CIK cells, PBMCs were initially cultured at a density of 2 × 106 cells/ml in serum-free X-Vivo15 medium (Lonza) supplemented with IFN-γ (1,000 U/ml, Peprotech). After 24 h, anti-CD3 mAb (OKT3, 100 ng/mL, eBioscience), anti-CD28 mAb (100 ng/mL, eBioscience) and IL-2 (500 U/ml, Peprotech) were added. After an additional 48 h of cultivation, 5 × 105 CIK cells were mixed with 400 ng of concentrated lentiviral particles, seeded into a 24-well cell culture plate and centrifuged at 1,000 g for 1 h in the presence of protamine sulfate (8 μg/ml, Sigma). Then, the plate was incubated for 18 h at 37 °C under 5% CO2 before the supernatant was replaced with fresh complete medium containing 500 U/ml of IL-2. After 72 h, the GFP-positive cells were sorted using a BD FACSAriaTM IIu flow cytometer. An anti-myc-tag-Alexa Fluor® 647 antibody (clone#9B11, CST) was used to identify CAR expression on the surface of CIK cells. CAR-expressing CIK cells and NT-CIK cells were propagated at a density of 2 × 106 cells/ml for 2~3 weeks, and cultures were supplemented with fresh medium every 2~3 days. Phenotypic analysis was performed weekly using FACS.

After careful thawing in 20% FCS/80% IMDM, cells were incubated with FcR Blocking Reagent (Miltenyi Biotec) for 10 min at room temperature. Surface staining of cells was done in PBS containing 0.5% FCS for 15 min at room temperature, except for CCR7, which was stained for 15 min at 37°C. To exclude dead cells from the analysis, Near IR (Life Technologies) was used as a Live/Dead marker. For intracellular staining of transcription factors, ki67 and Granzyme B, cells were fixed and permeabilized after surface staining with the Transcription factor buffer set (BD Pharmingen) following manufacturer's instructions. To measure cytokine production, cells were washed with culture medium and stimulated with 20 ng/ml Phorbol 12‐myristate 13‐acetate (PMA; Sigma) and 1 μM Ionomycin (IM; Sigma) in the presence of Brefeldin A Solution (eBioscience) for 4h at 37°C. Anti‐CD3 mAb (Pelicluster; 0.1 μg/ml) and anti‐CD28 mAb (eBioscience; 0.1 μg/ml) were used to mimic antigen‐specific T cell stimulation and co‐stimulation, respectively. Cells were stimulated with these antibodies in IMDM overnight at 37°C. Data were acquired on an LSR Fortessa cytometer (BD Biosciences), and analyzed using the FlowJo software (version 10; Tree Star). Data were analyzed and reported according to chapter VII “Data handling, evaluation, storage & repositories” of the EJI Guidelines for the use of flow cytometry [37].

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.
