The fresh tumor tissue was dissociated into single-cell suspensions as above. The digests were cultured in assay medium (RPMI-1640 with 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin and 10% fetal bovine serum) with anti-CD3 antibody (0.5 μg/ml, OKT3; Biolegend) and anti-CD28 antibody (2 μg/ml, clone 28.2; eBioscience). In CD8+ T cells-deprived system, CD8+ T cells were depleted from single cell suspensions by negative selection using CD8 MicroBeads (Life Technologies). Recombinant human IL-9 (0.3 ng/ml, R&D Systems), anti-IL-9 antibody (5 μg/mL, R&D Systems) or PBS were added to the culture system to study the effect of IL-9 on anti-tumor immunity. Pembrolizumab (10ug/ml; Pembrolizumab, Selleck) were used to explore the synergistic effect of PD-1 blockade and rhIL-9. After 24 hours of incubation, we collected cells for flow cytometry as indicated above.

To obtain mature DCs (mDCs), the iDCs were incubated with 1×LPS (ThermoFisher, 00-4976-93) for 24 hours prior to initiation of the MLR. CD8+ T cells were incubated in MLR medium with 10 ng/mL IL-2 (BioLegend, 589106) O/N, prior to initiation of the MLR.
CD8+ T cells were cocultured with either iDCs or mDCs (2×105 T cells: 2×104 DC per well) in AIM-V medium and incubated with DuoBody-CD40×4-1BB (monotherapy (iDC:CD8+ T cell and mDC:CD8+ T-cell cocultures) or concurrent treatment with pembrolizumab (mDC:CD8+ T-cell cocultures; Research-grade, Selleckchem, A2005)) or control antibodies for 5 days. Supernatants were harvested for cytokine analysis.

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.
