A total of 1–2 × 106 cells isolated from lymph nodes were plated in complete culture medium (Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), 10% FBS, 1% antibiotic–antimycotic (ABAM), and 0.1% beta-mercaptonol) with or without 3 μg/ml anti-CD3 and 3 μg/ml anti-CD28 antibodies (BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA), 20 μM SOCS1-KIR, 20 μM SOCS1-KIR Dimer, and 20 μM pJAK2 mimetic peptides. IFN-γ was measured with an ELISA kit (BD Pharmingen) as previously described41 (link) on supernatants harvested after a 5 days incubation.
Serum was collected from animals weekly to assess the production of anti-dsDNA IgG. Anti-dsDNA IgG was measured in sera diluted 1:1000, 1:3000, or 1:9000 in plates coated with 50 μg/mL dsDNA. Bound IgG was detected using alkaline phosphatase-conjugated anti-mouse IgG diluted 1:1000. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured.

The peritoneal macrophages from mice in animal experiment 1 were cultured in the presence of 1 μg/ml LPS (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) in DMEM at a density of 1 × 106/ml. The cells were cultured at 37°C for 24 hours before supernatant collection. Supernatants from splenocyte cultures were collected and analyzed by ELISA for INF-γ. The supernatants from peritoneal macrophage cultures were analyzed for TNF-α. All ELISA kits were purchased from eBioscience Inc. (San Diego, CA, USA).

Modulation of IFN-γ production by pDCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Freshly prepared PBMCs with or without pDC depletion were cultured for 5 days in a 24-well plate stimulated with anti-CD3 (5 μg/ml) (BD-PharMingen) and anti-CD28 antibodies (3 μg/ml) (BD-PharMingen) in the presence or absence of 10 ug/ml CpG (ODN2336) (Coley Pharmaceutical, Wellesley, MA). At day 5, the above culture was stimulated with T cell activation cocktails (PMA+ionomycin+GolgiPlug) (BD-PharMingen) for 4 h, the cells were stained with anti-CD4-PE or –APC, then underwent intracellular staining for IFN-γ following instructions from the manufacturer (BD-PharMingen). IFN-γ-producing CD4+ T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry by gating CD4+ T cells. In some experiments, CD4+CD45RA+ T cells were purified through negative selection using StemCell Sep kit (StemCell Technology, Vancouver, Canada). Different numbers of pDCs (5000, 2500, 1250, 0) purified by BDCA-2 microbeads were incubated with autologous CD4+CD45RA+ T cells stimulated with CD3 and CD28 antibodies in the presence or absence of CpG as described above. IFN-γ in the supernatants was measured using Luminex assay kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA) and IFN-γ-producing cells were examined by intracellular cytokine staining.

We generated pooled (nonsorted) single‐cell suspensions from phosphate buffered saline (PBS)–perfused spleen or CP tissue excised from donor 16‐ to 18‐week‐old female MRL/lpr mice (7–10 mice), as previously described (17 (link)). Cells were initially stimulated and expanded on plates precoated with 0.5 μg/ml of anti‐CD3 antibodies (BD Pharmingen) and with 0.5 μg/ml of anti‐CD28 antibodies (BD Pharmingen) added to RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (17 (link)). We then added 10 units of murine interleukin‐2 (IL‐2) (R&D Systems) every other day to further stimulate T cell proliferation for 7 days, after which cells were prepared for phenotyping and/or injection.

Lymphocytes isolated from peripheral lymph nodes of 8 to 10 weeks-old C57BL/6 mice were labeled with 5-μM CFSE (Beyotime) for 10 min, at 37°C, seeded at 2×105 cells/100 μl/well in 1640 complete medium (RPMI-1640 + 10% FBS). MSC were seeded in a 6-well plate, cultured in the MSC medium for 7 days, dissociated with Trypsin-EDTA (StemCell Technologies), and added at the ratio of 1:40 or 1:80 (for cell number of MSC versus lymphocytes) per well into a 96-well plate containing lymphocytes at 100 μl/well. The lymphocytes in the mixture were stimulated with or without pre-coated 10-μg/ml anti-CD3 antibodies (BD Bioscience) and 2-μg/ml anti-CD28 antibodies (BD Bioscience). Suspended lymphocytes were collected 5 days after the stimulation and then subjected to flow cytometry analysis.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
B cells and CD4+ T cells were isolated with anti-mouse CD19+ microbeads and anti-mouse CD4+ microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). For mitogen stimulation, B cells were cultured with LPS (10 μg/ml, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), anti-IgM F(ab′)2 (30 μg/ml, Jackson Immunoresearch, West Grove, Pennsylvania, USA) or anti-CD40 antibodies (10 μg/ml, BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA, USA), and CD4+ T cells were cultured with anti-CD3 (4 μg/ml) and anti-CD28 antibodies (4 μg/ml). In the coculture assay, CFSE-labeled B cells and CD4+ T cells were cocultured on microtiter wells pre-coated with anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies. After 3 d of co-culture, the cells were stained with CD19-PE (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA) and CD138-APC (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA, USA) to determine the percentage of plasma cells in CFSE+ B cells. After 7 d of coculture, the supernatant was collected to determine IgG production by ELISA (Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX, USA).

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.
