5 protocols using live dead near infrared viability dye

Immune Cell Profiling in Murine Super-Infection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole blood was collected from mice on days −1, 3, 7 and 9 post‐super‐infection. Blood was collected in 0.5 M EDTA, then lysed using ACK Lysis buffer, washed and resuspended in flow cytometry buffer (2% FCS + 0.5 mM EDTA in PBS). Single‐cell suspensions were blocked with anti‐CD16/32 antibody and stained with fluorochrome‐conjugated antibodies against mouse CD3 (clone 17A2; Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA), CD4 (clone GK1.5, Biolegend), CD8 (clone 53‐6.2, BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), CD45 (clone 30‐F11, BD Biosciences), CD11b (clone M1/70, BD Biosciences), IA/IE (M5/114; eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA), Ly6G (clone 1A8, BD Biosciences), CD62L (clone MEL‐14, BD Biosciences) and CD69 (clone H1.2F3, BD Biosciences), and dead cells were excluded using LIVE/DEAD Near‐Infrared viability dye (#L110909, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Sphero™ Blank Calibration Particles (BD Biosciences) were added to the samples and used as reference counting beads. Cells were acquired on a BD LSR II Fortessa Cell Analyser, and data were analysed using FlowJo software (v10.6; Treestar, Inc.).

Characterizing TCR Expression in HEK293T

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293T cells were transiently co‐transfected with pMIG.TCR and pMIG.huCD3 plasmids using FuGENE 6 transfection reagent (Promega). Cells were cultured for 48–72 h, harvested by mechanical disruption and stained with anti‐CD3 (BV421, clone UCHT1; BD), LIVE/DEAD near‐infrared viability dye (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and MR1 tetramers. Cells were then fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde and analyzed by flow cytometry.

Quantifying Antigen-Induced MR1 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For antigen-induced MR1-upregulation assays, adherent APC lines were plated the day prior to the addition of antigen, whereas nonadherent lines were plated on the same day as the addition of antigen as above. APC lines were incubated with antigen for 4 h before being harvested. Adherent cell lines were mechanically disrupted. Cells were then stained with LIVE/DEAD near-infrared viability dye (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and anti-MR1-PE antibody (Clone 26.5, BioLegend), fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde and acquired by flow cytometry. For analysis, APCs were gated based on forward scatter-area and side scatter-area after dead cell and doublet removal.

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.
