To sort antigen-specific cells, tetramers were generated as described in Franz et al. (52 (link)). A mix of Neutravidin (Neutravidin DyLight650, Thermo Scientific) and biotinylated peptide was incubated in the dark on ice for 30 min. Aggregates were removed by high speed centrifugation. B cells from acute Borreliosis patients were stained for 30 min with a pool of the three peptide tetramers and washed twice with FACS buffer (PBS, 2% FBS). The following antibodies were used to distinguish the different memory B cell subpopulations and to gate out monocytes, T-cells and dead cells: CD14-FITC, CD3-FITC (Immunotools), IgD-BV421, CD27-PECF594 (BD Horizon), CD19-BV605 (BDPharmingen), and live/dead marker. CD20-Biotin (Immunotools) was used as a compensation control for Neutravidin. Single cells were sorted on a FACSAria SORP machine (BD Biosciences) into 96-well PCR plates (Eppendorf) containing 5μl of 0.5% PBS, 10 mM DTT (Invitrogen), and 5U Recombinant RNasin® Ribonuclease Inhibitor (Promega) per well (53 (link)). The plate holder of the sorter was kept at 4°C throughout the sorting procedure. Random, negative and tetramer positive CD19+CD27+CD14, CD3, Hoechst B cells were sorted into 96-well plates, which were immediately put on dry ice and stored at −80°C.

Cell migration assays was performed as previously documented. Briefly, to produce a wound, the monolayer cells in 6-well plate were scraped in a straight line with pipette tips. Plate was then washed with PBS to remove detached cells. Photographs of the scratch were taken at indicated time points using Nikon inverted microscope (Ti-S). Gap width was calculated using GraphPad Prism software. For trans-well assay, 2.5×104 cells in 100μL serum free medium were plated in 24-well plate chamber insert (Corning Life Sciences, Cat. 3422), with the medium containing 10% FBS at the bottom of the insert. Cells were incubated for 24 h, and then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min. After washing, cells were stained with 0.5% crystal violet blue. The positively stained cells were pictured and counted. Annexin V FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit I (556547, BD, China) was used to evaluate the cellular apoptosis according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For cell cycle analysis experiments, indicated cells were digested and washed with PBS twice and then fixed in 75% alcohol overnight at − 20 °C. The fixed cells were washed three times and then stained with propidium iodide (PI) staining buffer at room temperature for 30 min in the dark, and then the cell cycle was analysed by FACSAria SORP machine (BD, USA).

HeLa, HepG2, and HCT116 cells were costained with LysoTracker Red (0.3 µM) and Hoechst 33342 for 30 min. After extensive washing, cells were suspended in cold PBS and analyzed by flow cytometry. For LAMP1 immunostaining, cells were first fixed with 4% PFA for 15 min and permeabilized with permeabilization buffer (1× PBS, 0.3% Triton X-100, and 0.5% BSA) for 15 min and incubated with LAMP1 antibody in the incubation buffer (0.5% BSA in PBS) for 1.5 h at room temperature. After extensive washing, cells were resuspended in incubation buffer containing Alexa Fluor 488 secondary antibody for 30 min. Cells were then collected and incubated in PI/RNase staining buffer (4087; Cell Signaling Technology) for an additional 30 min and analyzed by flow cytometry. For the FITC-Dextran experiment, cells were fed with 0.25 mg/ml FITC-Dextran for 12 h followed by 2-h recovery in fresh DMEM medium. Cells were then fixed with 70% ethanol (2 h, 4°C) and stained with PI for 30 min and analyzed by flow cytometry. All samples were analyzed on a FACSAria SORP machine (BD Biosciences), and the fluorescence intensity profiles of each cell cycle stage were analyzed using BD FACSDiva 8.0.1. Cell cycle distribution was analyzed by PI or Hoechst 33342 content and fitted to the Dean-Jett-Fox cell cycle model using FlowJo software.

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.
