Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PBMCs were isolated from heparinized blood samples and stimulated with SARS-CoV-2 peptide pool or medium in the presence of 2 μM monensin (eBioscience, San Diego, Calif) for 24 hours. After culture, the cells were collected for flow cytometry analysis. Fluorescence-labeled mAbs against the following antigens were added to the cell suspensions as follows: fixable viability stain, CD3, CD4, CD45RA, CCR7, HLA-DR, PD-1, Tim-3, TIGIT, CTLA-4, and CD39 (BD Biosciences, San Jose, Calif). All these cell suspensions were incubated for 30 minutes on ice. In some experiments, cells were fixed and permeabilized, and stained with anti–IL-2, anti–IFN-γ, anti–TNF-α, anti–IL-4, and anti–IL-17 mAbs (eBioscience). Isotype controls with irrelevant specificities were included as negative controls. fixable viability stain was used to exclude dead cells from analysis. After washings, the pellets were resuspended in 300 μL staining buffer, followed by analysis with FACSCanto flow cytometer (BD Biosciences).

All experiments were performed on a FACS Symphony (B.D. Biosciences), and data obtained were analyzed with FlowJo software (version 10.7.1). CAR expression was evaluated using a ROR1 biotinylated protein (ACRO Biosystem) and a streptavidin (PE-conjugated; B.D. biosciences). T cell profile and characterization were evaluated using mAb to CD45, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD62L, CCR7, PD-1, TIM-3, LAG-3, TIGIT, and the corresponding isotype controls (B.D. Biosciences).

NK cells were harvested from 21- or 28-day cultures, washed with FACS buffer, and incubated with human FcR Blocking Reagent (Miltenyi Biotech) for 5 minutes, followed by antibodies staining for 15 mins at room temp in the dark. NK cell phenotypes were assessed by flow cytometry using antibodies (Abs) specific to human CD3 (PE-cy7 and Bv421), CD16 (APC-cy7 and BV650), CD25 (BV421), CD56 (PerCp/Cyanine5.5 and APC), CD57(FITC), CD69 (APC-cy7 and BV650), NKp30(APC), NKp46(PE), NKp44 (FITC), NKG2D(BV421), TGF-βRII (APC and PE), TIM-3 (PE) and PD-1 (APC) from BD bioscience, Thermo Fisher, and BioLegend. To distinguish between live and dead population, samples were stained with Fixable Viability Dyes (Thermofischer). Following that, samples were fixed using BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ Fixation/Permeabilization Kit (BD biosciences). Samples were acquired with CytoFLEX (Research Flow Cytometry - Beckman Coulter). For each sample, a minimum of 10,000 events were acquired, and data were analyzed using FlowJo 10 (Beckton Dickinson).

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.
