Expanded CD8+ T cells were stimulated for 3–4 hours with MART-126–35 A27L peptide-loaded T2 cells or melanoma cell lines. Golgi plug (protein transport inhibitor containing brefeldin A, BD) and Golgi stop (Monensin, BD) were added 2 hours before staining. Cells were stained for cell surface markers followed by intracellular cytokines (IFNγ [4S. B3, BD], TNFα [MAb11, BD], and IL-2 [MQ1–17H12, BD]) after fixation and permeabilization. For perforin (B-D48, BioLegend) and granzyme B (GB11, BD) staining, effector cells were cocultured with T2 cell for 16 hours. To analyze cytokine production of T cells, effector cells were cocultured with T2 cells for 24 hours and supernatants were collected. Cytokines were analyzed using a Luminex system (ThermoFisher Scientific).

Cytokine Responses in Infant Immunity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole blood cytokine levels and intracellular cytokine staining were conducted on heparinized blood drawn from 10-week old South African infants. 10 milliliters of blood were taken and used both for the cytokine assays and genotyping. Samples were stimulated ex-vivo with media or BCG (strain SSI, 1.2 x 106 CFU’s/ml) for 7 hours at 37°C. For whole-blood assays, IL-2 and IFN- γ were measured by multiplex bead array technology according to manufacturer’s instructions (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) and read on a Luminex luminometer (Luminex, Austin, TX, USA). Basal cytokine levels measured in plasma harvested from unstimulated blood were subtracted from values obtained from BCG-stimulated blood [11 (link)].
For intracellular cytokine staining, Brefeldin A was added to the above samples and cells were incubated for 5 additional hours. Samples were frozen in 40% RPMI and 40% DMSO with 10% FCS and thawed prior to the time of data analysis. Flow cytometry was performed at the University of Washington Flow Cytometry Core Facility on an LSRII 5-laser flow cytometer (Becton Dickenson, Inc) using antibodies against cell surface markers including: anti-CD3 ECD (Beckman Coulter, UCHT1), anti-CD4 APC-Alexa Fluor 750 (Beckman Coulter, 13B8.2), and anti-CD8 PerCP Cy5.5 (BD, SK1). Antibodies against cytokines included anti-IL-2 PE (BD, MQ1-17H12) and anti-IFN-γ (BD, B27) [33 (link)].

CD3+ T cells were treated for 72 hours with CRP at the indicated concentrations, in the presence of IL-2 (100 IU/mL), then stimulated for 4 hours with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin (plus protein transport inhibitors) (Invitrogen). Cells were stained for cell surface markers followed by intracellular cytokines (interferon (IFN)-γ (4S.B3, BD Biosciences), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (MAb11, BD Biosciences) and IL-2 (MQ1-17H12, BD Biosciences)) after fixation and permeabilization.

CAR expression was detected using an anti-Human IgG (H+L) specific antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch, Suffolk, UK), as previously described. [49 (link)] Samples were acquired using a BD FACS Canto flow cytometer (BD Biosciences), and data were analyzed with FlowJo 7.5.5 (Tree Star, Inc., Ashland, OR) and BD FACSDIVA™ (BD Biosciences). Quadrant markers were set accordingly to unstained controls.

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.
