Tissue samples were dissociated with the Tumor Dissociation Kit, human (Miltenyi Biotech, UK) in combination with the gentleMACS™ Octo Dissociator (Miltenyi Biotech, GmbH) to obtain a gentle and rapid generation of single-cell suspensions. Then, TILs were magnetically isolated with antihuman CD3 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotech, UK) using the AutoMACS Pro Separator (Miltenyi Biotech, GmbH) and analyzed by polychromatic flow cytometry. In detail, TILs from dissociated tissues were characterized for the expression of CD4, CD8, CD25, CD127, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-17, IL-9, IL-22, and FoxP3 using intracellular cytokine staining. Briefly, TILs were cultured in RPMI 1640 culture medium (SERO-Med GmbH, Wien) supplemented with 10% FCS HyClone (Gibco Laboratories, Grand Island, NY, USA) and stimulated for 5 h using the Leukocyte Activation Cocktail with BD GolgiPlug™ (BD Pharmingen). Cells were stained for surface antigens and then fixed with 4% (v/v) paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.5% saponin, followed by intracellular staining with anti-IL-4, anti-IL-17, anti-IL-22, anti-IL-9, and anti-IFN-γ mAbs (BD Biosciences). For the detection of peripheral Tregs, TILs were fixed and permeabilized using the BD Pharmingen Human FoxP3 Buffer Set (BD Biosciences). A minimum of 10,000 events were acquired.

CD8+ T cells were magnetically isolated from the spleen of experimental mice (Miltenyi Biotec, 130-104-075). 105 CD8+ T cells were plated in triplicate in ELISPOT plates (Millipore, Bedford, MA) pre-coated with anti-IFN-γ capture mAb (2.5 μg/mL; BD Pharmingen, R46A2) in the presence of IL-2 (50 U/mL; BD Pharmingen) and 105 irradiated (6,000 rad) untransduced or LV.IDUA-transduced autologous EL-4 cells. After 42 h of incubation at 37°C and 5% CO2, plates were washed and IFN-γ-producing cells were detected by biotin-conjugated anti-IFN-γ mAb (0.5 μg/mL; BD Pharmingen, XMG 1.2). Streptavidin-HRP conjugate (Roche) was added. Total splenocytes or total BM (0.35 × 106 cells/well) was plated in complete RPMI in triplicate in ELISPOT plates pre-coated with rhIDUA (2 μg/well). After 24 h of incubation at 37°C and 5% CO2, plates were washed and anti-IDUA IgG-secreting cells were detected with peroxidase-conjugated rabbit anti-mouse immunoglobulin (Sigma A2554). All plates were reacted with H2O2 and 3-Amino-9-ethylcarbazole (Sigma, A6926). Spots were counted by ImmunoSpot reader (Cellular Technology).

Cultured PBMCs were restimulated with individual cyclin D1 15-mer peptides for 2 h. Then, Golgi-plug (BD Pharmingen) was added to the cultures and followed by another 4-h culture. After a total 6 h of stimulation, cells were harvested, surface stained with CD4 and CD8 mAbs, then fixed and permeabilized with Cytofix/Cytoperm solution (BD). Finally, the cells were stained intracellularly with anti-IFN-γ mAb (BD Pharmingen). The cells were acquired on Canton II or LSRII flow cytometer (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA) and analyzed using FlowJo software (Treestar, Ashland, OR). When cultured T cells were analyzed, IFN-DCs were first loaded with cyclin D1 15-mer peptides for 1 h and then used to stimulated T cells.

CD107a degranulation and IFN-γ producing CD3+CD8+ T cells were identified within SMM MP-CTL by flow cytometry. Briefly, SMM MP-CTL were stimulated with HLA-A2+ or HLA-A2- MM cell lines, K562 cells, K562-A*0201 cells pulsed with respective peptide or K562-A*0201 cells alone in the presence of CD107a anti-human mAb. SMM MP-CTL alone served as a negative control. After 1 hour incubation, CD28/CD49d mAb (BD), as well as protein transport inhibitors Brefeldin A and Monensin (BD), were added for an additional 5 hours. Cells were harvested, washed in FACS buffer, and incubated with mAbs specific to CD3, CD8, CCR7, CD45RO, CD69 and/or CD137 antigens. After surface staining, cells were washed, fixed/permeabilized, stained with anti-IFN-γ mAb (BD), washed with Perm/Wash solution (BD), fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde, and analyzed by flow cytometry.

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.
