Ninety-six-well multiScreen filter plates (Millipore, USA) were pre-wetted with 35% ethanol then washed twice with PBS before coating. Plates were coated at 4°C overnight with 10µg/ml PR8 for B-cell ELISPOTs or 5µg/ml anti-mouse IL-2, IL-4, or IFN-γ (all from BD Biosciences) or IL-17 mAb (BioLegend, San Diego) for T-cell ELISPOTs. The plates were washed with PBS, then blocked with RPMI 1640+10% FCS. A total of 4×105 splenocytes and 5µg/ml PR8 were added in triplicates before the plates were incubated at 37°C for 24 hr (B-cell ELISPOT) or 48 hr (T-cell ELISPOT). The plates were washed 3 times with PBS-Tween 20 and 2µg/ml detection antibodies in PBS+10% FCS were added and incubate for overnight at 4°C. After discarding detection antibodies, plates were washed 3 times with PBS/Tween 20 and incubated with 1:200 dilution of HRP-Streptavidin (BD Biosciences) for 1 hr at RT. After washing spots were visualized using AEC substrate (BD Biosciences). The plates were washed twice with water, dried, and analyzed by Immunospot ELISPOT system (Cellular Technology, Shaker Heights, OH, USA).

Assays were performed as previously described using capture and
detecting anti-mouse IFNγ, anti-mouse IL-2, anti-mouse IL-4 and
anti-mouse IL-17 mAb from BD Pharmingen (44 , 45 (link)). Recipient spleen
cells were stimulated with mitomycin C-treated donor BALB/c, third party SJL or
self B6 spleen cells or with HYDby peptide for 24 h. Responder cells
were titrated from 400,000 to 20,000 per well with the addition of 400,000
stimulator cells per well. The resulting spots were analyzed using an ImmunoSpot
Series 4 analyzer (Cellular Technology, Cleveland, OH).

Cytokine Profiling of Mouse Splenic CD4 T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary mouse splenic CD4 T cell culture supernatants were collected at designated time points and analyzed for cytokine secretion. 96-well Maxisorp plates were coated overnight at 4°C with the appropriate capture antibody (anti-mouse IFNγ, anti-mouse IL-2, anti-IL-4, anti-IL-17A, and anti-IL-10; BD Biosciences). Non-specific protein binding was prevented by blocking wells with 5% BSA in PBS for 3 h at room temperature. Culture supernatants and standards (recombinant IFNγ and IL-2, carrier-free) were diluted appropriately and added to wells. The plate was incubated overnight at 4°C, with continuous rocking. Biotinylated detection antibodies were added to wells followed by TMB substrate reagents (BD Biosciences) at a 1:1 ratio. Color development was monitored, and the reaction was terminated by the addition of stop solution (2N H2SO4). Absorbance was read at 450 nm using a microplate reader. Cytokine concentrations were determined relative to the standard curves generated.

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.
