Twenty-four well plates (Corning) were pre-coated overnight at 4 °C with 0.25 µg/mL anti-CD3 (low endotoxin clone UCHT1) and anti-CD28 (low endotoxin clone YTH913.12) antibodies (both from Bio-Rad AbD Serotec Limited, Hercules, CA, USA). The plates were washed three times in PBS (Medicago, Uppsala, Sweden). The CD8+ and CD4+ T cells were cultured in IMDM + 5%FBS (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 24 h at 37 °C and 5% CO2 at a density of 2 million cells/mL. After culture, a proportion of the cells were processed for flow cytometry and the rest were homogenized and lysed in RLT Plus Buffer (Qiagen) and stored at − 70 °C until extraction. The proportion of live cells (evaluated by LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Aqua Dead Cell Stain, see details below) was > 68% for the activated CD4+ cells and > 72% for the activated CD8+ cells. The average expression of CD69 after activation in all samples (as determined by flow cytometry) was for CD4+ MS: 5.4% (standard deviation ± 1.8) and HC: 9.5% (± 4.6); CD8+ MS: 15.4% (± 7.2) and HC: 25.6% (± 6.5) (Additional file 1: Fig. S14).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immuohistochemistry on frozen tissue sections or formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues was performed as previously described [17 (link)]. Immunohistochemical staining of paraffin tissues was performed using the Ventana Discovery Ultra automated staining system. For frozen tissue staining, primary antibodies included anti-CD3 (Biorad), anti-CD4 (BioXcell), anti-CD8 (BioXcell), anti-Foxp3 (eBioscience), and anti-CD11c (Biolegend). Staining was visualized using a biotinylated anti-rat secondary (BD Biosciences) followed by avidin-biotin-HRP complex amplification (Vectastain) with DAB detection. For paraffin tissue staining, primary antibodies included anti-CD4 (Abcam). For two-color inmmunohistochemistry to detect CD11c and Foxp3, staining was performed sequentially with detection of CD11c using DAB plus nickel (black) and detection of Foxp3 using DAB alone (brown). Brightfield images were acquired on a BX43 upright microscope (Olympus).

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.
