The cross-reactivity between HDM and helminth homologue proteins was also assessed at T cell level by stimulating the inflammatory lung cells from mice chronically sensitized with house dust mite extract, with different conditions. Briefly, lung cells from HDM-allergic mice were obtained as described by [16 (link)] were incubated overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2, in the absence (media) or upon stimulation with HDM extract (10μg/mL), rDer p 10 (10μg/mL), OvTrop (10μg/mL) and finally 0.5/0.05 nM of PMA/ionomycin (P/I) (Sigma-Aldrich, USA). 10ug/mL of Brefeldin A was added in all conditions. Cells were then stained using a panel of antibodies to profile the antigen-specific effector memory CD4+ T cells expressing the activation marker CD40L.
Briefly, cells were stained with a Live/Dead marker (Fixable Blue-UV450). Secondly, after washing with FACS buffer (PBS, 2% FBS), antibodies to the extracellular markers CD19, TCR-b, CD44 were used. After washing, cells were then fixed with 4.2% formaldehyde (BD Cytofix, BD Biosciences) and permeabilized (Perm buffer eBiosciences), and finally stained with CD4, CD40L antibodies (flow cytometry panel in S1 Table).

IFN-γ ELISPOT assays were performed as reported and with minor modification.16 (link) Briefly, ELISPOT plates (Millipore, USA) were coated with human IFN-γ antibody (Clone 1-D1K, 2 μg/ml, Mabtech, Sweden) overnight at 4 °C. T cells were rested in cytokine-free media overnight. Then 2 × 104 T cells were seeded per well in ELISPOT plates and stimulated for 24 h with pools of predicted SARS-CoV-2 peptides (5 μM each). Stimulation with an equimolar amount of DMSO was performed as the negative control, and Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)/Ionomycin (P/I) (Sigma–Aldrich, USA) was used as the positive control. Subsequently, the plates were developed with human biotinylated IFN-γ detection antibody (Clone 7-B6-1, 1 μg/ml, Mabtech, Sweden), followed by incubation with Streptavidin-AP (1:1000, Mabtech, Sweden) and BCIP/NBT-plus substrate (Mabtech, Sweden). IFN-γ spots were quantified with the AID ELISPOT Reader (AID, Germany). To quantify positive peptide-specific responses, with 2 × mean spots of the unstimulated wells subtracted from the peptide-stimulated wells, and the results expressed as IFN-γ spots/2 × 104 PBMCs.

Immunogenic Mutations in Cancer Models

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rapamycin (Rap) (Sigma, USA) was dissolved in DMSO and then diluted with RPMI medium. Chemotherapeutic drugs paclitaxel (PTX) and adriamycin (ADM) were purchased from the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University (Guangzhou, China). PMA/Ionomycin (P/I) were purchased from Sigma, USA. The peptides for immunogenic B16F10 and 4T1 mutations were synthesized by Sangon Biotech (Shanghai, China) accordingly previous publication (Figure S3A). Propidium iodide (PI) was purchased from BioLegend, USA. LC3B antibody was from Cell Signaling, USA. Anti-CD3, anti-CD4, anti-CD8, and anti-FOXP3 antibodies were purchased from Abcam, Cambridge, UK. Antibodies used for flow cytometry assay were as follows: anti-CD16/32 mAb (BD Biosciences, USA), Anti-CD3-PEcy5, anti-CD4-FITC, anti-CD8-FITC, anti-IFN-γ-APC, anti-TNF-α-PE, and anti-FOXP3-PE (BioLegend, USA).

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.
