Generation and Maintenance of Th1 and Th2 Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse Th1 and Th2 cell lines were generated from MBP TCR-Tg mice (46 (link)) as described previously (10 (link)). Th cell lines were not transformed and, therefore, were maintained by stimulation with MBPAc1−11 and irradiated splenocytes in the presence of recombinant human (rh) IL-2 (Miltenyi) every 7–10 days. T cells collected 7–10 days after activation with MBPAc1−11 and irradiated splenocytes provided the resting Th cell condition. To avoid the presence of non-T cells in in vitro experiments, resting Th1 or Th2 cell lines were activated with anti-CD3/CD28 for the indicated lengths of time. Mouse naive CD4+ T cells were isolated from spleens and lymph nodes using the mouse naive CD4+ T cell isolation kit (Miltenyi or STEMCELL Technologies) and activated using 5 μg/ml coated anti-CD3 and 2 μg/ml soluble CD28. Human Th1 and Th2 cells were generated by isolating CD4+ T cells with a CD4+ T Cell Isolation Kit (STEMCELL Technologies) from human whole blood leukocytes from normal donors and activating on anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabeads (Thermo Fisher) under Th1 (rhIL-12 + anti-hIL-4) or Th2 (rhIL-4 + anti-hIL-12 + anti-hIFNγ) conditions for 1 week and reactivated for further experiments, as previously described (10 (link)).

CD4+ T Cell Activation by HNSCC Exosomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Exosomes of HNSCC patients were co-incubated with healthy human CD4(+) T cells (105/100 µL) in the presence of 20 μM of exogenous ATP (Sigma Life Science). Exosome samples used were derived from the total, CD45(+), or CD45(−) fraction. The CD4(+) T cells were isolated using a CD4+ T cell isolation kit (17952, Stemcell Technologies) according to manufacturer’s instruction. Control samples incubated with no exosomes (PBS only) and without ATP were used.
After 20h of incubation, percentages of CD4+CD39+ T cells were determined by flow cytometry using anti-CD4-FITC Ab (11-0049-42, eBioscience) and anti-CD39-PECy7 Ab (25-0399-42, eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA). The protocol was previously described in detail [8 (link),20 (link),31 (link)].

We used an adoptive transfer model to examine the roles of PD-1 expressed on CD4+ T cells in the immune reaction to peanut allergens. Briefly, CD4+ T cells were isolated from splenocytes of naïve CD57BL/6 mice or pdcd1−/− mice by negative selection using a CD4+ T cell isolation kit (Stem Cell Technologies). Approximately 1×107 CD4+ T cells were transferred to naive Tcrb−/− mice by intravenous retroorbital injection. Starting 24 h after the T cell transfer, the mice were exposed to peanut flour through the airway for 4 weeks as described above.

Primary T Cell Isolation and Analysis

Primary mouse splenic T cells were isolated using a Pan T cell negative selection kit or a CD4+ T cell isolation kit (Stem Cell Technologies). Primary T cells or 2B4 cells were stained with fluorescently labeled Abs against GITR, CD4, CD8 (53–6.7), or FoxP3 (FJK-16S). For intracellular staining, cells were fixed and permeabilized with a fixation/permeabilization kit (BD Cytofix/Cytoperm, BD Biosciences). All flow cytometry and cell sorting were performed with Accuri C6 (BD Bioscience) in our own lab, or LSRII with UV (BD Bioscience), and Aria Fusion cell sorter (BD Bioscience) at the University of Iowa Flow Cytometry Facility, which is a Carver College of Medicine/Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center core research facility.

Bone marrow was obtained from the long bones of FcRγ−/− B6 mice and plated at a density of 106 cells per 6-well dishes in RPMI (Corning), 10 % FCS, 1 %l-Glutamine, streptomycin (100 mg/ml), and penicillin (100 U/ml). For the maturation of DCs, 40 ng/ml of both GM-CSF and IL-4 (PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ) was added to the media. Media were replaced after 3 days, and on the 6th day mature DCs were replated at a density of 5 × 104 per well in U-bottom 96 wells. Two μM of DTA-1 was administered to DCs for all in vitro experiments. For DC-pulsed T cell proliferation assays, BMDC was pulsed with OVA peptides for MHC-class I (SIINFEKL—1 μg/ml) or MHC-class II (ISQAVHAAHAEINEAGR—10 μg/ml) (Sigma) and 2 μM DTA-1. After 24 h, CD8 T cells from OTI mice (CD4+ from OTII mice) were obtained from splenocytes using a CD8 or CD4 T cell isolation kit, respectively (StemCell Technologies, Vancouver, CA), and stained with Cell Trace Violet (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) as previously described [41 ]. After 72 h, cells were transferred to V-bottom 96 wells and stained for via flow cytometry.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from donors by Ficoll-Paque PLUS (GE Healthcare) or Lymphoprep (Stemcell) gradient centrifugation. Total CD4+ T cells were isolated by negative magnetic selection using a CD4 T cell isolation kit (Stemcell) and CD4+CD25hiCD127lo-negCD45RO+ Treg cells were sorted on a FACS Aria (BD Biosciences). Treg cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 5% Human serum, 2 nM L-glutamine, 5 mM HEPES, and 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 0.5 mM sodium pyruvate, 0.05 mM nonessential amino acids, and 5% human AB serum (Gemini Bio-Products). 96-well round bottom plates (Corning) were pre-coated with anti-human CD3 (UCHT1) (1–2 μg/ml) and used for Treg in vitro culture with soluble anti-human CD28 (28.2) (1–5 μg/ml) (BD Bioscience) and human IL-2 (50 U/ml). Human IL-2 was obtained through the AIDS Research and Reference Reagent Program, Division of AIDS, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH). TH1-Treg cells were induced with human recombinant IL-12 (20 ng/ml) (R&D). The Wnt/β-catenin inhibitor PKF115–584 (Tocris) was used at 200 nM and IWR-1 (Tocris) was used at 20 μM. SGK1 inhibitor GSK650394 (Tocris) was used at 10 μM. AKT inhibitor MK2206 (Tocris) was used at 5 μM. Frizzled 8 FC chimera protein (R&D) was used at 500 ng/ml.

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.
