A targeted cell recovery of 7,000 cells was used for each tumor sample. Gene expression libraries were created for each sample. Generated cDNA and final GEX libraries were quality checked using an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 at Duke Microbiome Core Facility and submitted to MedGenome Inc (Foster City, CA) for sequencing on a NovaSeq S4 instrument.

CD-1/ICR mice immunized once with 1 × 107 TCID50 MVA-ZIKV-NS1 vaccine were sacrificed 10 days after immunization, and spleens were harvested. Naïve mouse spleens were harvested in parallel. Isolated splenocytes were analyzed by intracellular cytokine staining following standard protocols. In short, 106 splenocytes were stimulated with 0.1 µg ZIKV NS1 peptide library (JPT Peptide Technology), 0.1 µg HIV Env peptide library (21st Century Biochemicals) or mock stimulated. Incubation proceeded for 6 hours at 37° C +5% CO2 and GolgiPlug (BD Biosciences) was added at a concentration of 1.0 µL/mL for the last 4 hours of the incubation. The splenocytes were stained with Live/Dead Fixable Green Dead Cell Stain (ThermoFisher) at room temperature for 20 minutes. The samples were treated with Cytofix/Cytoperm (BD Biosciences) at 4° C for 20 minutes and were stained with CD3 APC-CY7, CD4 PE-Cy7, CD8 PerCP, IL2 PE, and IFN-γ Alexa647 (all flow cytometry antibodies from BD Biosciences). Samples were analyzed with a FACSCanto flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) utilizing FACSDiva software. Analysis was performed with FlowJo 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.
