Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Functional avidity of WT and PDCD1-edited Melan-A-specific T cell clones was evaluated after coculture with TAP-deficient T2 cells loaded with a range of Melan-AA27L (ELAGIGILTV) peptide at the effector/target ratio 1/2, through the measurement of CD107a mobilization and cytokine production. CD107a mobilization was measured after 3 hours of coculture at 37°C in the presence of a CD107a-specific mAb (H4A3 clone, BioLegend). T lymphocytes were then stained with anti-CD8 antibodies (Clone RPA-T8, BioLegend) and analyzed by flow cytometry. Cytokine production was determined after a 5-hour stimulation period at 37°C, in the presence of Brefeldin A at 10 µg/mL (Sigma, B7651). T cell clones were labeled with anti-CD8 mAb (Clone RPA-T8, BioLegend), fixed with PBS 4% paraformaldehyde (VWR, 100504-858) and stained for cytokine production using anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (Clone MAB11, BioLegend), anti-interferon (IFN)-γ (Clone B27, BioLegend) and anti-IL2 (Clone MQ1-17H12, BioLegend) mAbs. All the cytometric analyses were performed on a Facs Canto II (BD Biosciences).

Sorted CD3+ T cells were labeled with 10 μmol/L carboxy-fluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE; Life Technologies) and cultured with sorted granulocytes at ratios of 1:0, 1:0.5, 1:1 in complete media at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 4 days in the presence of 1:1 ratio of anti-CD3/ anti-CD28 dynabeads (Invitrogen). Cells were stained with V450 anti-CD4 (Clone-RPA-T4; BD Biosciences) and APC-Cy7 anti-CD8 (Clone-RPA-T8; BioLegend) and proliferation was determined by CFSE dilution. Unstimulated T cells were used as a negative control. The effect of the addition of L-NMMA (0.5 mmol/L, NG-Methyl-L-arginine acetate), nor-NOHA (0.5 mmol/L, N-Omega-hydroxy-nor-L-arginine) and iNAC (10 mmol/L; all from Sigma- Aldrich) was similarly tested. The percentage of cells that diluted CFSE (divided cells) was determined.

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.
