The mononuclear cell fraction was obtained by ficolldensity gradient separation as described previously [10 (link)]. CD34+ cells were isolated from the mononuclear cell fraction by immune-magnetic separation with the CD34+ isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotech, Auburn, CA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. CD34+ cells were then placed in complete methylcellulose media, MethoCult H4434 Classic™ (STEMCELL Technologies Inc., Vancouver, Canada), at clonal density (33,000 cells / ml of medium) and grown for 10-14 days after which individual CFC were collected. MethoCult H4434 Classic™ contains methylcellulose, fetal bovine serum, bovine serum albumin, recombinant human stem cell factor, recombinant human GM-CSF, recombinant human IL3, and recombinant human erythropoietin and will generate CFU-E, BFU-E, CFU-GM, CFU-GEMM, and CFU-Mk colonies. The CFC subtype was not determined for colonies used in this study.

Clinical responses were evaluated by radiological scans according to standard response criteria20 (link) (online supplemental table 2 and figure 1). Umbilical cord blood (UCB) was obtained from the Queensland Cord Blood Bank. CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) were isolated from UCB via density gradient centrifugation with Ficoll-Paque (GE Healthcare) followed by a CD34+ isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec) and cryopreserved until use.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood was obtained from healthy adult volunteers and umbilical cord blood (UCB) was obtained from the Queensland Cord Blood Bank. Cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with melanoma that had been vaccinated with NY-ESO-1 protein and ISCOMATRIX adjuvant31 (link) or monocyte-derived DC (MoDC) pulsed with autologous tumor32 (link) were used for some experiments. CD34+ hematopoeitic stem cells (HSCs) were isolated from UCB by Ficoll-Paque (GE Healthcare) density centrifugation and using a CD34+ isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec) and cryopreserved. HLA typing was performed by BGI Health (Hong Kong) and or in-house PCR.33 (link) CD34+ HSCs were expanded and differentiated into CD141+ DC using a modification of a previously described protocol34 (link) to include 1 µM StemRegenin-1 (SR-1, Stemcell Technologies) during both expansion and differentiation stages.

Umbilical cord blood (CB) units from normal full-term deliveries were obtained, with the informed consent of the mothers, from the Obstetrics Unit of Saint Louis Hospital, Paris, and collected in placental blood collection bags (Maco Pharma, Tourcoing, France). Blood mononuclear cells were purified by Ficoll density gradient separation (Leucosep, Greiner Bio-one) and Hanks medium (Thermo-Fisher). Low-density cells were recovered and enriched for CD34+ cells by automated cell sorting (CD34 isolation kit and autoMACS System, Miltenyi Biotec). CD34+ cells were cultured in serum-free expansion medium: Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium (IMDM), 15% BIT 9500 (BSA-Insulin-Transferrin, Stem Cell Technologies), 60 ng/mL rh-Stem Cell Factor (SCF), 10 ng/mL rh- interleukin-3 (IL-3), 10 ng/mL rh-IL-6, 2 U/mL rh-Epo, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. After seven days of culture, CD36+ cells were isolated with biotin-coupled anti-CD36 antibody and anti-biotin microbeads on an autoMACS System. CD36+ EPCs were obtained by lentivirus-mediated transduction with the hTERT and E6/E7 genes from human papillomavirus type 16, as previously described [36 (link)], and were grown in expansion medium to generate a continuous CD36+ EPC line.

The CD34+ donor hematopoietic stem cells (DHSCs) were prepared using the CD34 isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotech Inc., Auburn, CA). Similarly, T cells were enriched using anti-CD3 coated microbeads with the MACS system via positive selection (Miltenyi Biotech Inc., Auburn, CA). Flow cytometry using appropriate monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) showed that the positively selected populations had 95 - 99% of cells expressing the target epitope. These cells were then used for in vitro assays.

Cord blood was obtained with written informed consent from the Queensland Cord Blood Bank with approval from the Mater Adult Hospital Human Ethics Committee. CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells were isolated by density gradient enrichment followed by a positive selection using a CD34+ isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec) as previously described (30 (link)). NSG-A2 mice (stock no. 014570) were purchased from Jackson Laboratories. 2–5-day-old NSG-A2 pups received 10 Gy total body irradiation 4 h prior to intrahepatic injection of human CD34+ cells. Engraftment of human CD45+ cells was confirmed 10–12 weeks later, after which hu mice received 2 s.c. doses of human recombinant huFLT3-L (BioXcell) 4 days apart prior to experimentation. Engrafted mice were injected retro-orbitally with 50 µg poly IC (Invivogen) or 20 µg R848 (Invivogen) alone or in combination and mice were euthanized 2 h later. This study was carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the Australian code for the care and use of animals for scientific purposes (8th Edition). The protocol was approved by the University of Queensland Animal Ethics Committee.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mononuclear cells (MNCs) were separated from CB and mPB samples (maximum after 1 day from harvesting) by stratification on Lympholyte-H 1.077 g/cm3 gradient (Gibco-Invitrogen, Milan, Italy), followed by red blood cell lysis for 15 min at 4°C. MNCs were then processed on magnetic columns for CD34+ cell isolation (mean purity 94 ± 4%) (CD34 Isolation kit; Miltenyi Biotec, Bologna, Italy), as previously described [25 (link)], and treated with our combination of cytokines on the same day. In selected cases, CD34+ cells from CB or mPB were cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen and then thawed before testing with the combined inflammatory cytokines. Of note, to minimize the influence of freezing/thawing, only thawed CD34+ cells with a survival rate > 80% were used and the thawed CB/mPB cells were studied in the same experiment.

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.
