Dectin-2 Modulates Antifungal Immunity

A. fumigatus conidia (5 × 104) were plated in 96-well plates and grown in pDC media to hyphae of 10–20 μm average length. pDCs (5 × 104) were left untreated or incubated with anti-Dectin-2 or anti-Dectin-1 antibodies for 30 minutes at 4°C. pDCs were then added to the hyphae in a final volume of 200 μl pDC media containing voriconazole (0.5 μg/mL) to inhibit fungal overgrowth. Control wells contained pDCs only, pDCs and antibodies, or pDC and CpG. After 6 hr of incubation at 37°C, the supernatants were removed and TNF-α and IFN-α levels were measured by ELISA according to the manufacturers’ protocols (eBioscience for TNF-α; PBL Assay Science for IFN-α).

IL-6, IFN-γ, TNF-α, CCL2 and IFN-β (no. 42410, PBL Assay Science) were quantified by ELISA according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
CyTOF analysis was performed as previously described54 . Samples were acquired on a CyTOF Mass Cytometer-039-Helios (Fluidigm) and analyzed using FlowJo software (Tree Star).

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.
