Cell surface CAT-1 detection was performed using a soluble ligand derived from the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the bovine leukemia virus (BLV) envelope glycoprotein (BLV-RBD).66 (link) Staining was realized with a rabbit Fc-tagged BLV-RBD (BLV.RBD.rabbitIgG1-Fc) (Metafora-biosystems), followed by an anti-rabbit IgG1-Fc secondary antibody (Thermo Fisher), as previously described.66 (link)For intracellular staining, BDcytofix/cytoperm buffers were used, except for FOXP3 staining (#00–5523-00, Thermo Fisher) and for pSTAT-1 and pSTAT-4 (# 557870, BD Biosciences phosphoflow fix buffer I and #554656, BD Biosciences phosphoflow perm buffer III) were used according to manufacturer’s protocol.

Quantification of STAT-5 Phosphorylation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After 3 days of in vitro activation the cells were harvested and washed multiple times to remove endogenous IL-2. The cells were treated with increasing doses of muPD-1-IL-2v or muFAP-IL-2v for 30min at 37°C. Directly after treatment, the cells were fixed with Phosphoflow Fix Buffer I (BD) and incubated for 30 min at 37°C. The cells were then permeabilized overnight at −80°C with Phosphoflow PermBuffer III (BD) before being stained for 30min at 4°C with anti-STAT-5P-AF647 antibody (clone 47/pY694 (1:20), BD Biosciences).

Evaluation of PD1-IL2v Fusion Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After 3 d of in vitro activation, cells were collected and washed multiple times to remove endogenous IL-2. A portion of the CFSE-labelled T cells were exposed to 10 µg ml–1 of parental anti-PD-1 antibody to block the PD-1 epitope for 30 min at room temperature and, thereafter, unbound antibody was washed away.
To assess IL-2R signalling (STAT5-P) on human T cells following treatment, both anti-PD-1-pretreated and untreated cells were exposed to increasing concentrations of PD1-IL2v, FAP-IL2v or FAP-IL2 superkine analogue24 (link) for 12 min at 37 °C. To investigate the cis/trans binding of PD1-IL2v, anti-PD-1-pretreated or untreated CFSE-labelled cells were co-cultured 1:1 with untreated CTV-labelled cells. Cells were then exposed for 12 min at 37 °C to 0.1 μg ml–1 (630 pM) of the treatment fusion proteins.
For the mouse ex vivo experiment, the cells were treated with increasing doses of muPD1-IL2v or muFAP-IL2v for 30 min at 37 °C.
Directly after treatment, cells were fixed with Phosphoflow Fix Buffer I (BD) and incubated for 30 min at 37 °C. Cells were then permeabilized overnight at −80 °C with Phosphoflow PermBuffer III (BD) before being stained for 30 min at 4 °C with anti-STAT5-P–AF647 antibody (clone 47/pY694, BD Biosciences; 1:20).

Quantification of IFNγ Receptor and SOCS3

Monocytes were identified using HLA-DR, CD14 and CD16, as described above. Cell surface expression of the IFNγ receptor R1 was determined with IFNγR1 antibody (CD119, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). For intracellular detection of SOCS3, cells were permeabilized with Cytofix/Cytoperm Kit (BD Biosciences), stained for SOCS3 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA), followed by APC-labeled goat anti-rabbit antibody (R&D Systems). For intracellular detection of total STAT1, BD PhosphoFlow Fix Buffer I and Perm/Wash Buffer I were used. Cells were stained for STAT1 (Cell Signaling Technologies, Beverly, MA), followed by FITC-labeled goat anti-mouse antibody (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA).

T Cell Immunophenotyping and Signaling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
T cells were washed in FACS buffer (DPBS no calcium, no magnesium
(Gibco) with 2% FBS). Cells were incubated on ice in FACS buffer with antibodies
specific for cell surface markers for twenty minutes. Antibodies used are in
Table S4. For
pSTAT5 staining: cells were prepared with the Fix and Perm Cell Permeabilization
kit (ThermoFisher) according to manufacturer’s instructions. For pS6
staining: T cells were cultured 24 hours in complete AIM-V media without IL-2
prior anti-idiotype stimulation (1ug/ml of mouse IgG anti-human CD19 idiotype
crosslinked with 10ug/ml of anti-mouse Fab in PBS). Cells were incubated with
anti-idiotype - or left unstimulated - for 1 hour at 37C and kept on ice
immediately afterwards. Cells were fixed (BD Phosphoflow Fix Buffer I) and then
permeabilized (BD Perm Buffer III) following manufacturer’s instructions.
For mitochondrial mass staining: cells were stained with MitoTracker Green (Cell
Signaling Technology) at 200 nM, 37°C for 30 minutes. Prior to
acquisition, cells resuspended in FACS buffer and analyzed on a LSRFortessa (BD)
with BD FACSDiva software.

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.
