Jurkat T Cell Genetic Manipulation

Jurkat T cells (ATCC Cat# TIB-152, RRID:CVCL_0367) and flotillin-1 and flotillin-2 knock-out Jurkat cell lines were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco) supplemented with 10% (vol/vol) FBS, 2 mM l-glutamine and PenStrep (all from Invitrogen). Flotillin-1 and flotillin-2 knock-out Jurkat cell lines were generated using two guide RNAs each targeting the genomic DNA of flotillins 1 and 2 together with Cas9 expression plasmid. Transfected single cells were FACS sorted and seeded into 96-well plates and screened for flotillin1/2 knockout by western blot14 (link). Cells were transfected with 1 µg DNA per 200,000 cells, 18–20 h prior to imaging using the Neon electroporation kit (Invitrogen).
Before imaging, cells were incubated for 10 min at 37 °C on 18 mm glass-coated surfaces (Marienfeld) that were prepared by incubating with poly-l-lysine (Sigma) for 30 min at room temperature, then 1 µM anti-CD3ε (16-0037; eBioscience) and anti-CD28 (16-0289; eBioscience) antibodies for T cell activation. For live cell imaging, cells were imaged from 10 to 40 min after their deposition on the coverslips.
For immunostaining, cells were fixed with 3.7% EM-grade paraformaldehyde (C004, ProScitech) for 30 min at 37 °C. After fixation, cells were permeabilized with 0.15% triton-X100 (Sigma), blocked in 5% BSA and probed with primary and secondary antibodies sequentially.

Jurkat T Cell Flotillin Knockdown and Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Jurkat T cells (Clone E6.1) and flotillin-1 and flotillin-2 knock-out Jurkat cell lines were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Pan Biotech) supplemented with 10% (vol/vol) FCS (Gibco). Flotillin-1 and flotillin-2 knock-out Jurkat cell lines were generated as described in [15 (link)]. Cells were transfected with 1 μg DNA per 200,000 cells, 18–20 h prior to imaging using the Neon electroporation kit (Invitrogen).
Before imaging, cells were incubated for 10 min at 37 °C on 18-mm glass-coated surfaces (Marienfeld, #0,117,580) that were prepared by incubating with poly-L-lysine (Sigma, #P8920) for 30 min at room temperature, then 10 μg/ml anti-CD3ε (eBioscience, #16–0037) and anti-CD28 (eBioscience, #16–0289) antibodies for T cell activation. For live cell imaging, cells were imaged from 10 to 40 min after their deposition on the coverslips.
For imaging transferrin internalisation, transfected Jurkat T cells were activated for 5 min, transferred onto ice, media exchanged for fresh cold media with 25 μg/ml transferrin-Alexa488 (Jackson ImmunoResearch, #009–540-050) or transferrin-Alexa647 (Jackson ImmunoResearch, #009–600-050) added, incubated for 5 min, media exchanged twice with fresh cold media, then transferred to 37 °C and imaged.

Imaging Jurkat T-Cell Activation and Trafficking

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Jurkat T-cells (ATCC Cat# TIB-152, RRID:CVCL_0367) were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Life Technologies) supplemented with 10% (vol/vol) fetal bovine serum, 2 mM l-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100 µg/ml streptomycin (all from Invitrogen). T-cells were transfected with 1 µg DNA per 200,000 cells, 12–24 h prior to imaging using the Neon electroporation kit (Invitrogen).
Before imaging, cells were incubated for 10 min at 37°C on 18-mm glass-coated surfaces (Marienfeld) that were prepared by incubating with poly-l-lysine (Sigma) for 30 min at room temperature. Afterward coverslips were washed once with phosphate-buffered saline and incubated with 1 µM anti-CD3ε (16-0037; eBioscience) and anti-CD28 (16-0289; eBioscience) antibodies overnight at 4°C for T-cell activation. Cells were imaged from 10 to 40 min after their deposition on the coverslips.
For transferrin internalization, transfected Jurkat T-cells were activated as above and placed under the microscope. Alexa 647–conjugated transferrin (Jackson ImmunoResearch, USA) was added to T-cells 5 min after activation at 25 µg/ml (5 µl/ml), incubated for a further 10 min, and imaged.

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.
