Intranasal deliveries were performed using an optimized delivery system27 (link),55 (link). Mice were completely anesthetized with avertin using 300 μl per mouse with tert-amyl alcohol content at 2.5% and 2,2,2 tribromoethanol (TCI America, T1420) at a concentration of 50 mg per kg. Soluble OVA, apoptotic cells and TLR agonists were delivered in a 50 μl volume. Final concentration of deliveries were 1 μg soluble OVA (sOVA) (0.22 micron filtered, Grade VII Sigma) or 20 × 106 apoptotic cells ± 50μg R848 (Enzo Life Sciences) or ± 10 μg Poly I:C (Enzo Life Sciences). Mice were sacrificed at various times depending on the experimental design.

Mice were immunized i.n. with 40 μl of 3 μg OVA-AF488 (#034781; Invitrogen) combined with individual treatments with following different TLR adjuvants: 2 μg LPS (#L8274; Sigma-Aldrich), 50 μg Poly I:C (#ALX-746-021; Enzo), 50 μg R848 (#ALX-420-038; Enzo), 20 μg CpG/ODN1668 (#ALX-746-051; Enzo), and non-TLR adjuvant: 8 μg Papain (#76216; Sigma-Aldrich). i.n. immunization with CFSE alone was performed at a concentration of 5 μM in 40 μl. WT mice were immunized with 3 μg OVA-AF488 combined with TLR adjuvant ± pertussis toxin (2 μg/mouse). After 24 h, LLNs were harvested and analyzed for Ag+-positive myeloid cells.

First, we performed a dose dependent analysis of OT-I T cell proliferation response to Poly I:C and R848. 10 μg for Poly I:C and 50μg for R848 were selected based on their capacity to induce quantitatively similar OT-I T cell proliferation (Supplementary Fig. 10). One day after OT-I cell adoptive transfer, WT mice were administered by intranasal delivery with 1 μg soluble OVA (0.22 micron filtered, Grade VII Sigma) WT-apoptotic or OVA-apoptotic cells ± 10 μg Poly I:C (Enzo Life Sciences) or 50 μg R848 (Enzo Life Sciences). Five days after immunization, in vivo target cells were labeled using 15 μM PBSE. 107 PBSE-labeled CD45.1 WT and CD45.2 OVA-expressing splenocytes (derived from ACTB-OVA mice) were injected at a (1:1) ratio i.v. The following day, spleens were harvested as described and specific killing of adoptively transferred congenic mismatched populations was assessed by flow cytometry.

mDCs were left unstimulated, or stimulated with poly I:C (Enzo Life Sciences)(20μg/ml), or were co-cultured in a 1:1 ratio with mock- or CVB3-infected Min6 cells. Alternatively, mDCs were exposed to CVB3 (MOI of 50) in X-Vivo15. Supernatant and cells were harvested at indicated times for mRNA isolation, flow cytometry or ELISA/bead array, or used in allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR).

Generating Mature Dendritic Cells

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from healthy donor blood (Sanquin, Nijmegen, Netherlands) by density gradient centrifugation using lymphoprep (Axis-Shield). Adherent cells were obtained as previously described [32 (link)]. Immature DCs were generated by culturing the adherent cells in X-VIVO medium (Lonza) containing 2% human serum (Sanquin), with IL-4 (300 U/ml) and GM-CSF (450 U/ml; both CellGenix) for 6 days. On day 6, DCs were maturated with either a cytokine cocktail containing prostaglandin E2 (PGE2; 10 μg/ml; Pfizer), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (10 ng/ml), IL-1β (5 ng/ml), and IL-6 (15 ng/ml; all CellGenix) or with toll-like receptor (TLR)3 and TLR7/8 ligands, poly[I:C] (20 μg/ml; Enzo), and R848 (4 μg/ml; InvivoGen), respectively, for 24 hours.

Four days after intraperitoneal injection of 2 mL of BBL thioglycollate medium [4% (wt/vol) brewer’s thioglycollate medium power (BD Biosciences)], thioglycollate-elicited macrophages were recovered in 5 mL of PBS by peritoneal lavage. Cells were seeded onto 96-well plates at 1 × 105 cells per well and cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco), 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Life Technologies) at 37 °C, and 5% CO2. Macrophages were stimulated for 4 h with Pam3CSK4 (40 ng/mL), poly(I:C) (20 μg/mL), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (10 ng/mL), R848 (25 ng/mL) (all from Enzo Life Science), or CpG (Sigma-Aldrich, 100 μg/mL). dsDNA (IDT, 2 μg/mL) was complexed with Lipofectamine 2000 (Life Technologies) and transfected according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
