Peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PBMCs) were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation immediately after collecting the blood samples. Isolated PBMCs were washed, counted and incubated at a concentration of 1x106 cells/mL in 12-well plates at 37°C and 5% CO2. Isolated B-cells were cultured in 96-well flat bottom plates. Cell culture was performed in complete RPMI-1640 media containing 10% fetal calf serum, 2mM L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin/streptomycin (1%, all from Invitrogen), 1% sodium bicarbonate and 1% sodium pyruvate (Cambrex). PBMCs were stimulated with 1μM ODN2006 Type B CPG (Invivogen, San Diego, USA) per well or were left unstimulated for control purposes and incubated for 72 hours. For the last six hours 2μl/mL cell stimulation cocktail plus protein transport inhibitors 500x containing PMA (40.5μM), Ionomycin (670μM), the protein transport inhibitors Brefeldin A (5.3mM), and Monensin (1mM) was added. Viability of cells before and after cell culture was assessed using 7-AAD staining (eBioscience) and methylen-blue.

HL-60 cells (CCL-240, ATCC, Manassas, VA) were cultured at 37°C in 5% CO2 in Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM, ATCC, Manassas, VA) containing 20% FBS (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and differentiated to neutrophil-like cells by DMSO-induced differentiation for a period of 5 days. Cells were sub-cultured every third day to a density of 1×106 cells mL−1. During migration assays, neutrophils were suspended in a buffer of 0.2% human serum albumin (HSA, Sigma-Aldrich) in Hanks Buffered Salt Solution (HBSS, ATCC, Manassas,VA). T-lymphocytes were suspended in RPMI 1640 media (Cambrex, Charles City, IA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U mL−1 penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco-Invitrogen), 1% sodium bicarbonate and 1% sodium pyruvate (Cambrex).

Primary Vγ9Vδ2 T cell cultures were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from blood of healthy donors (Etablissement Français du Sang, Toulouse, France). Briefly, PBMC were stimulated with BrHPP (3 μM) and rhIL-2 (300 IU/ml) in complete RPMI 1640 culture medium (Invitrogen, Cergy Pontoise, France) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Hy1, Thermo Scientific, USA), 100 g/ml streptomycin, 100 IU/ml penicillin and 1 mM sodium-pyruvate (Cambrex Biosciences, Rockland, ME, USA) for 14 days. Purity of the Vγ9Vδ2 T cells was >95% as determined by flow cytometry using an anti-TCRVγ9Vδ2 mAb.

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.
