Fifty to 70 ml of blood was taken by venous puncture. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from heparinized blood by Ficoll-Paque (GE Healthcare) purification. Briefly, blood was diluted 1:1 with sodium chloride and tubes were centrifuged at 400g for 30 minutes with the brake off. Cells were harvested from the interface of the Ficoll layer, and were washed and enumerated. Monocytes were isolated using anti-CD14 microbeads, according to the manufacturer’s instruction (Miltenyi Biotec, San Diego, CA, USA). Cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 with 10% human serum and L-glutamine, pen/strep, non-essential amino acids, sodium pyruvate, 2-ME, 40 ng/ml of recombinant human IL-4 and 40 ng/ml of recombinant human GM-CSF (both from R&D Systems). Cytokines were replenished on days 3 and 6, and cells were used on day 7. For some experiments, CD4+ T cells were isolated from the CD14- fraction using the T cell isolation II kit (Miltenyi Biotec). Cells were then cultured with MoDCs in the presence or absence or RSV. At 48 hours, RNA was extracted and message levels of IFN-γ, IL-5 and IL-13 were determined by qPCR.

Primary human macrophages were differentiated from peripheral blood monocytes cells (PBMC). After isolation of PBMC’s in a density gradient medium, cells were split into 12-well culture plates (Greiner CELLSTAR multiwell culture plates, 0.4 × 106 cells/well) and incubated at 37 °C, 5% v/v CO2 and 95% v/v O2 for 1 h in a free serum medium (RPMI 1640, 2 mM l-glutamine, 1% Pen/Strep, Biological Industries). Non-adherent contaminated cells were removed and remaining monocytes differentiated to human microglia like cells for 10 days with recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF, 10 ng/ml; R&D systems) in a full RPMI medium (RPMI 1640, 10% FBS, 2 mM l-glutamine, 1% Pen/Strep) and incubated at 37 °C, 5% v/v CO2 and 95% v/v O2.

Animal studies were performed according to a protocol approved by the Animal Care and Use Committees of Northwestern University and Jesse Brown VA Medical Center. Bone marrow mononuclear cells were obtained from the femurs of Wt or Icsbp−/− C57/BL6 mice. Granulocyte/monocyte progenitor cells were cultured (2 × 105 cells per ml) in DME media supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 1% pen-strep, 10 ng/ml murine GM-CSF (R & D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, MN), 10 ng/ml murine recombinant IL-3 (R & D Systems Inc.) and 100 ng/ml of murine recombinant stem cell factor (Scf: R & D Systems Inc.) (referred to as myeloid progenitor cells in these studies). CD34+ cells were separated from the cultures using the Miltenyi magnetic bead system for extraction of RNA or proteins. These cells represent the CML-LSC in murine models during CP [43 (link)]. For some experiments, cells were transduced with retroviral vectors to express p210 Bcr-abl (in MiGR1 vector), DN-Gas2 (in MSCVpuro vector), or DN-Shp2 (in MSCVneo vector). Replication incompetent retroviral vectors were generated using the Ecopack packaging plasmid, as described [23 (link)].

The monocyte precursors were isolated from mice or rat bone marrow of the hind limbs by centrifugation of the bone marrow cell mix through a percoll (GE Healthcare, 17-0891-02) density gradient (3 ml 45%, 5 ml 62% and 3 ml 81% (v/v) percoll in HBSS). The cell fraction between 45 and 62% layers containing monocyte precursors was cultured in IMDM media (21056-023, Gibco by life technologies) containing 20% (v/v) FCS, 1% (v/v) Pen/Strep and 100 ng/ml M-CSF (R&D Systems) at 37 °C, 5% CO2.

Derivation and maintenance of HIOs followed published protocols1 (link), 25 (link). Briefly, HIOs were embedded in Matrigel (BD Biosciences) and overlaid with Advanced DMEM-F12 medium (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) containing 1X B27 supplement (Invitrogen), 1X GlutaMAX (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA), 10 µM Hepes, 10% pen/strep, 100 ng/mL rhNoggin (R&D Systems), 100 ng/mL epidermal growth factor (R&D Systems), and approximately 500 ng/mL R-Spondin1 (RSPO1). RSPO1 was obtained from conditioned media collected from a HEK293 cell line that was stably transfected and zeocin-selected for the RSPO1 expression vector. Media was changed every two to four days, and HIOs were transferred to fresh Matrigel once a week until they reached approximately 2 to 3 mm in diameter for experiments. This size was reached on average 48 days after initial spheroid formation.

Evaluating Compound Effects on T-ALL Proliferation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ba/F3 cells were seeded in triplicate into 96-well plates (1x104cells/well) and treated with indicated compound concentrations or vehicle (DMSO). Proliferation was assessed using the ATPlite 1step assay (PerkinElmer). To calculate relative proliferation, luminescence values at the start of the drug incubation were subtracted from the values after 24 hours of drug incubation and normalized to the DMSO control.
For T-ALL xenograft experiments, viably frozen xenograft cells were thawed and incubated overnight in xenograft MEMα medium containing 10% FBS6450 (Stemcell Technologies), 10% human AB+ serum (Institut de Biotechnologies Jacques BOY), Pen/Strep, Glutamine, 10ng/mL hIL7 (R&D systems), 50ng/ml hSCF and 20ng/ml hFLT3L (Stemcell Technologies) and 20nM insulin (Sigma). The next day, cells were passed through Lymphoprep (Stemcell Technologies) and plated in triplicate in 96-well plates previously coated with 10µg/ml anti-Fc (ab1927, Abcam) followed by overnight coating with 2µg/ml mDL4-Fc peptide (VIB PSF). Plating was done in drug containing xenograft medium at 1x105cells/well. After 72 hrs, relative cell numbers were measured using the ATPlite 1step assay (PerkinElmer) and apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry analysis of Annexin V expression.

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.
